Kesha on Dr. Luke legal battle: 'This is about being free from my abuser'
Pop star Kesha spoke out on Facebook Wednesday against her producer and alleged abuser Dr. Luke for the first time since a judge ruled she must uphold her contract with Sony Records despite her allegations.
//
I'm so, so beyond humbled and thankful for all of the support I'vereceived from everyone. Words cannot really express...Posted by Kesha on Wednesday, February 24, 2016
Kesha alleges that Dr. Luke drugged her and raped her, and she had filed a preliminary injunction asking the court to allow her to record without him despite her contract. Dr. Luke has denied all of Kesha's allegations, which he said in a statement Monday are "outright lies that have been advanced to extort a contract renegotiation and money."
