While Kesha continues to battle it out with producer Dr. Luke in court, attempting to get out of her recording contract on claims he has sexually assaulted and manipulated her over the course of their working relationship, her mother is now speaking out. In an exclusive interview with Billboard, Kesha’s mother, Rosemary “Pebe” Sebert, compared her daughter’s working relationship with Dr. Luke to that of a prisoner. “It was like someone who beats you every day and hangs you from a chain and then comes in and gives you a piece of bread,” Pebe said. “Luke would say, ‘You look nice today,’ and send her into hysterics of happiness because she was programmed to expect nothing but abuse.” More below.
Kelly Clarkson Speaks Out On Dr. Luke In Support Of Kesha
As Kesha continues to battle it out with Dr. Luke in court, attempting to get out of their binding recording contract on the grounds that he has sexually assaulted and manipulated her for years, she has gained another celebrity supporter. Singer Kelly Clarkson appeared on KIIS FM in Australia yesterday for an interview with morning show hosts Kyle and Jackie O, and backed up Kesha’s claims against Sony and Luke, saying that he’s “a terrible person” and that she too was “blackmailed” by Sony to work with him. The American Idol alum added that they’ve clashed in a very bad way and he’s a known liar, but did not have a similar experience with the rape claims, however. Regardless, Kelly says the label’s ultimatum was clear: work with Luke, or no album, certainly giving some validity to Kesha’s argument that she needs to be out of the contract completely!
