This is all horrible and I'm shocked that it doesn't seem to be getting that much media coverage.

 

[OG]

I agree. I'm stunned that this isn't all over the place. I think it's a sad case of a double standard because it's Kesha (someone the media would usually ridicule) rather than a "respectable" artist. Pretty despicable.

Kesha is one of the few modern day pop stars I actually like so this is pretty sad to see. I saw a few posts on Facebook and Twitter about it but nothing outside of that. How fucking awful is it that Chris Brown still has a popular music career but Kesha is legally bound to a rapist who won't let her do anything.

I saw one doofus on Facebook defend the decision by saying "Why should we believe her? She once admitted to brushing their teeth with Jack Daniels!" Well, the song where Kesha talked about that was written by Dr. Luke! Incredibly fucked up.

Also I was looking up Dr. Luke's production discography to see who he's worked with recently and saw that he produced a song on R. Kelly's last album. :

Best of luck to her, but this is gonna muddy a lot of the waters in this case.

Without touching the rapey part (especially now that the waters are muddied thanks to that deposition video), this piece of that article explains the initial ruling:

New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich ruled this past Friday that she needed to follow through on the terms of her contract, but didn't have to work with Dr. Luke.

Apparently there were two lawsuits in two different states. One was dropped.

Fiona Apple Slams Grammys Over Deborah Dugan Ouster, Dr. Luke Nomination

Fiona Apple, who is up for three Grammys, slammed the Recording Academy over its treatment of ousted CEO Deborah Dugan and nods for Dr. Luke

So this POS gets nominated for a Grammy (using a different pseudonym thinking people won't notice) and Fiona Apple rightfully calls him out. Can we permanently cancel this guy?

Katy Perry and Dr. Luke have reunited, a source told Rolling Stone. They haven't worked together since Kesha sued the producer for sexual abuse.
