How foul is the music business and its recording contracts? Today (Feb. 19) a judge essentially ordered Kesha to keep working with Dr. Luke, the same producer she’s accused of raping her and driving her to an eating disorder
Reports Page Six:
Singer Kesha burst into sobs in Manhattan civil court Friday when a judge ruled that she couldn’t break her exclusive recording contract with Sony and music producer Dr. Luke—even though the performer says the producer raped her and called her a “fat f—king refrigerator.”
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich said that Kesha would not have to work directly with Dr. Luke, whose real name is Luke Gottwald.
“She’s being given the opportunity to record, she can record,” Judge Kornreich said. “She does not have to have any interface at all with Mr. Gottwald in recording or producing.”
Dr. Luke countersued Kesha, and claims he is responsible for all her success—thus he isn’t trying to not ever make any off of her recordings—and says the accusations amount to extortion.
Think about this type of f*ckery if you’re an artist and someone waves a contract under your nose.
