Kesha’s battle to free herself from her contract with Sony has ended today with a New York state judge siding with Sony.
The past few days have been a constant back and forth with both Kesha and Dr. Luke firing shots on social media.
According to TMZ, the judge said that Kesha is not a “slave” to Sony because the company never required her to work exclusively with Dr. Luke.
Several days ago it was widely reported that Kesha denied a way out of the contract by refusing to rescind her rape allegations against the producer.
At that time the singer took to Instagram to write:
“So. I got offered my freedom IF I were to lie. I would have to APOLOGIZE publicly and say that I never got raped. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS behind closed doors.
“I will not take back the TRUTH. I would rather let the truth ruin my career than lie for a monster ever again”.
In rejecting that offer, the judge claimed the singer behaved “unreasonably.”
The court also rejected Kesha’s claim that she was the victim of a “hate crime,” stating, “Although [Luke’s] alleged actions were directed to Kesha, who is female, [her claims] do no allege that [Luke] harbored animus toward women or was motivated by gender animus when he allegedly behaved violently toward Kesha.”
