Kesha And Dr. Luke Have Settled Their Nearly Decade-Long Lawsuit The Month Before It Was Set To Go To Trial

June 22, 2023 / Posted by:

Kesha and Dr. Luke have been battling it out in the courts for years. In 2014, Kesha publicly accused the music producer of drugging and raping her and filed a civil suit against him. Dr. Luke clapped back with his own lawsuit, accusing Kesha of fabricating allegations against him to get out of her recording contract. He was seeking over $50 million in damages. Luke’s defamation case was finally set to go to trial next month, but today, we learned that it’s over before it even began.

Pop Crush reports that Dr. Luke dropped his defamation lawsuit against Kesha, and both parties released a joint statement. 36-year-old Kesha writes, “Only God knows what happened that night,” and “As I have always said, I cannot recount everything that happened.” Well, if she was roofied, of course, she doesn’t remember what happened. 49-year-old Dr. Luke writes that he appreciates Kesha “acknowledging that she cannot recount what happened” and once again denies drugging or assaulting her.

A Judge Has Found That Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” Ripped Off A Christian Rap Song

Back in 2014, everyone who saw Katy Perry’s video for Dark Horse probably thought the worst choices she made was to dress up like an Egyptian woman (which was followed very closely by the choice to throw a grill in her mouth). As it turns out, Katy Perry’s bad Dark Horse decisions began long before she put on a Cher wig.

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that after a week-long trial, a jury in California has decided that Katy Perry and Dr. Luke plagiarized parts of Dark Horse from a Christian rapper from St. Louis named Flame.

In the ongoing Dr. Luke saga of him being a general asshole and alleged abuser to Kesha, Gaga forked over any relevant evidence in his defamation case against Kesha. The evidence included texts between Kesha and Gaga about the case. The texts were previously blacked out, but the uncensored ones were made public and in them, Gaga and Kesha take a major swipe at Katy Perry and what sounds like her nonexistent backbone.  Continue reading
