There has been a media storm over the Kesha case against Dr.
Luke, her music producer. A lot of the fans, the media, and celebrities are rooting
for Kesha to gain back her freedom, after allegedly Dr. Luke has been mentally,
physically, and sexually abusing the artist for years.
In February 19, 2016 Kesha was denied her injunction against
the producer. Images of her sobbing
after the verdict surfed the media, creating an outrage among people. The case
states that Dr. Luke has threatened Kesha and her family, as well drugged her. In recent days, Dr. Luke tried to set a
lawsuit against Kesha’s Mom, Pebe Sebert, and her manager, Jack Rovner, arguing
that they had made defamatory claims, extorted him, and they were trying to
break Kesha’s contract. The judge dropped the lawsuit.
Kesha was denied of her injunction and freedom from her alleged
abuser, and contract with Sony Music. The artist is not able to record with any
other company unless she records 8 more albums with her and Dr. Luke. This is an important case in society, as
women who have been abused, try to come forward and fight their abusers but in
some cases the government blames the victim and there is no justice served.
