Lion Heart 15,041 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Kesha’s plea to get out of her exclusive contract with Dr. Luke, who she claims sexually and physically abused her for years, was denied by a New York judge Friday, prompting the pop star to break down in tears. Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Shirley Werner Kornreich said releasing Kesha from the contract under Sony would cause irreparable harm since the “Tik Tok” singer would no longer have to fulfill her contractual obligation to make six more albums with producer Dr. Luke for the record label. It was a blow to Kesha’s year-and-a-half legal battle, which has become muddled with lawsuits and countersuits in two states. Kesha has been battling to get out of her contract with Lukasz Gottwald, aka Dr. Luke, since suing him on Oct. 14, 2014, in California, claiming sexual assault and battery, sexual harassment, gender violence, unfair business practices, and infliction of emotional distress. Almost simultaneously, Dr. Luke filed his own lawsuit against Kesha in New York for breach of contract and defamation. Then in June 2015, Kesha’s California case was put on hold by a judge after ruling that the New York case took precedent. Kesha’s lawyers claimed that the singer could no longer work with Dr. Luke out of fear for her physical safety, citing “heinous acts of abuse.” In asking the court for relief in November, Kesha argued that if she isn’t released from Dr. Luke’s exclusive contract, she will continue to be unable to record, write, publish, or perform music with anyone else. And if that continues, the singer claims her career will effectively be over.

kvnrp 48,353 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 This is so incredibly sad. Can't she do something with her new band? Like start a SoundCloud and release something there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LePetitGAGABLover 21,234 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It doesn't make sense though. Even if she was lying (WHICH I DOUBT IT), why would Dr. Luke still want to make songs with her, even after she "defamed him." It doesn't add up and makes me to believe that Dr. Luke is a disgusting pig. Poor Kesha though. I'll pray for ha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoFameMonster 1,592 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 She should make 6 crap albums in 1 year with one massive hit and finish the contract. Then sign onto another label riding off of the sucesses of that 1 hit and all sony and Dr.lukes promo money. She will end up using them in the long run. Or she can just appeal.

Sad but it's how it is. Normally this kind of contract has an expiration date but only god knows how long it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
