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! Check out the full interview below.
As we’ve previously reported, Kesha has been in court fighting to get out of her recording contract with producer Dr. Luke. According to her claim that Dr. Luke abused and raped her over the course of ten years. A little over two weeks ago a judge ruled in Luke’s favor saying Kesha can just work with other producers without being let go of her contract, however following the ruling SONY came forth with a statement saying Kesha’s contract lies with Dr. Luke. This legal battle is getting messier by the day, however Akon shared his opinion on the situation which seems to be the best idea so far. TMZ caught up with the Konvict Muzik CEO at the airport and asked him what he thought about the Dr. Luke and Kesha situation. Akon revealed that he’s a friend of Luke and could not believe the accusations against him, although he did say “you really can never know.” But came up with a simple solution for all parties involved. According to Akon, Dr. Luke should just let Kesha go. More below.
