Dr. Luke Denies Reports That Sony Is Going To Drop Him
Reports circulated yesterday afternoon that Sony was looking into terminating their contract with producer Dr. Luke a year ahead of its end date, as the controversy surrounding his legal battle with Kesha was something they do not want to be associated with. This was a huge update in the case, as the powerhouse label originally stood behind Luke against Kesha’s allegations that he’d sexually abused her for years, and made no moves to release Kesha from her contract – the main thing she is fighting for. Luke’s team is claiming bullsh*t, though. Sources in his camp tell TM that his relationship with execs there is “excellent,” adding:
“His representatives are in regular contact with executives at the highest levels at Sony, and this has never come up.”
Sony, on the other hand, had “no comment.” Hmm. Who are you believing in this one?
Kesha’s Mom Speaks Out Says Her Daughter “Was A Prisoner” While She Worked With Dr. Luke
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!
