Pop singer Kelly Clarkson claimed Monday that she only worked with Dr. Luke, the producer who Kesha alleged raped her, because her record label blackmailed her.
"Even the last time I worked with him, I only worked with him because literally I got blackmailed by my label," Clarkson told KIIS 1065. "They were like, 'We will not put your album out if you don't do this.'"
Clarkson worked with Luke, whom she called "demeaning" in 2004 on Breakaway, and again in 2009 on All I Ever Wanted.
