Sony tweets, then deletes ‘love’ for Kesha after her Grammys performance

[DELETETHIS745638 2,101]

Talk about tone-deaf.

Sony tweeted — then deleted — a praiseworthy message about Kesha's rousing Grammys performance of "Praying" — a song many interpret to be written about Dr. Luke, the Sony producer who Kesha accused of rape.

"No words. All love. #GRAMMYS," Sony Music Global tweeted, along with a clip from Kesha's performance.

Kesha sued Dr. Luke — the producer behind many of her hit songs — in 2014, sparking a drawn-out and contentious legal battle. She alleged the musical hit-maker drugged and raped her when she was 18, and also accused him of repeated emotional abuse.

The singer tried to break her recording contract with Dr. Luke to no avail, with Sony contending it was legally unable to terminate the remainder of their deal. The label did offer to pair Kesha with another producer so she wouldn't have to work with Dr. Luke again amid her allegations.

Sony's Grammys tweet about Kesha was ultimately taken down, but not before the post was flooded with backlash.

"Are you kidding me?!? Just... no. We all remember how you treated her when it mattered," tweeted one user.

Another wrote: "You forced her to work with dr luke you ---king monsters."

In 2015, Kesha submitted a legal complaint that Sony didn't take the correct measures regarding Dr. Luke.

Sorry if AP but this is SUPER messy, and I wanted to share.

That is messy, but if I were them I'm not sure I would have deleted it. My logic: They didn't support her properly when it mattered (and they need to do more to make up for that), but that doesn't mean they can't start being supportive now. Say the nice things AND address the real problems. You can do both.

You know what is really sad? that all those people who backlash Sony are still buying music of their favorite Sony artists or still watching their movies.. do you really care about Kesha? boycott them and their artists.. if you can't, just shut up..

Unless they apologize for the way they treated her and pledge to do right in the future, their support now is and hollow and meaningless.

That's like having a police officer that watched you get robbed and did nothing about it randomly compliment your hair the next day like nothing happened. Mess

Sony is such a big company you can't just stop things you enjoy that's madness.

Yeah I mean we all hate Trump but that doesn't mean we all have the ability to up and leave the country.
