Kesha.
“Tik Tok” star Kesha broke into tears Friday when a Manhattan Supreme Court judge refused to let her walk away from a six-album deal with Sony — and the man she claims se.xually abused her.
The singer had sought to nullify her recording contract because it brought her into contact with super-producer Dr. Luke, whose real name is Luke Gottwald.
The 28-year-old, whose real name is Kesha Rose Sebert, claims that Dr. Luke dr.ugged her with a pill that made her black out and s.exually abused her shortly after her 18th birthday in California. He was never criminally charged.
Kesha (c.) cries as she learns she will not be released from her record label contract in Manhattan Supreme Court Friday. Kesha's contract requires her to record six more albums for Sony Records. Sony has offered to let her work with another producer, but Kesha said she fears the company won’t promote her music as heavily if she’s not working with Gottwald, their biggest hitmaker.
Dozens of fans rallied outside the courthouse in support of the shellshocked singer as she emerged from the courthouse.“Free Kesha Now! Free Kesha Now!” they chanted as the singer walked down the long front steps with her entourage.
Kesha declined to speak with reporters.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich said she thought Sony would suffer irreparable harm if Kesha was not compelled to abide by a contract that requires her to make six more albums with the company.
The judge said that granting the singer’s request to nullify her deal would undermine the state’s laws governing contracts and the court couldn’t do that.
A few minutes earlier, she had hugged a weeping fan outside the courtroom.
“You don’t deserve this at all. It’s unfair,” the fan, Lindsay Scarpa, told her. Kesha’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, argued that Sony’s promise to connect her to another producer was “illusory” because even if the recordings were made, the record company wouldn’t promote them.
He contended that Sony had more invested in Dr. Luke than in Kesha and it would do everything to protect him because he makes them more money.
The judge said that Geragos had nothing concrete to back up his “speculative” argument.
Kesha, in a dramatic all-white outfit seated in court next to her mother in a back row, initially looked stunned as the judge refused to issue the injunction.
Then as a tear-soaked fan in front of her started sniffling loudly, her own eyes filled with tears. Dr. Luke and Sony are also trying to dismiss the underlying case in which Kesha contends that Dr. Luke abused her emotionally and psychologically for a decade, forcing her to take a sabbatical and go into rehab in January 2014.
Free Ke$ha.

| This isn't even about feminism. Feminism is about the equality of women and oppression, while this is about the story of how Kesha was abused. Even though this involves a women being treated unfairly about some abuse scandal, this isn't feminism. |

Typical feminist here, insulting me out of the blue because they couldn't think of anything better to say. There's no point in replying anymore, it's bad enough on another website, but I'm certainly not going to have an intelligent argument with a feminist here.

| I know that #FreeKesha is an important thing but not here in ROBLOX. There are like 6 year-olds or younger here. I don't know why you should spread the word in ROBLOX even though no one will care. |
