This is crazy! As you know, Kesha has been in court fighting to get out of her recording contract under Dr. Luke/Sony, as she alleges that Dr. Luke has abused and raped her over the course of their 10-year working relationship. A judge ruled in Luke’s favor in court last week, saying that Kesha can simply record with other producers under the Sony umbrella, and she doesn’t need to be released from her contract to do so. (The trial addressing the abuse allegations has yet to begin.) However, there are some new developments!

Following their other star artists like Adele, Lady Gaga and more speaking out in support of Kesha, it appears that Sony is feeling the heat. They have released a statement on the matter, and they are WIPING THEIR HANDS CLEAN, putting it ALL on Dr. Luke!

“Sony has made it possible for Kesha to record without any connection, involvement or interaction with Luke whatsoever, but Sony is not in a position to terminate the contractual relationship between Luke and Kesha,” Scott A. Edelman, a lawyer for Sony, told The New York Times. “Sony is doing everything it can to support the artist in these circumstances, but is legally unable to terminate the contract to which it is not a party.”

Wow! Bloomberg also published an article detailing the contract, and it’s clear that Kesha is very deeply tied to Luke – so much so, even if she worked with other producers at Sony, Luke would still get a cut of the profits. Does it make sense now why she’d want to get out of the contract completely? Who would want to put even a cent into the pockets of their abuser?! Check out the article here.

Let’s see what Dr. Luke does now.
