Kesha Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Continues, Singer Seeks Injunction to Record New Music

NY Magazine reported that Sebert's attorney, Mark Geragos, presented a New York area judge with a letter that the two had written Sony requesting that the pop star be allowed to begin recording a new album sans the assistance of either Dr. Luke or his Kemosabe label. In a brief submitted to the judge Garages wrote, "Kesha now faces an abysmal decision: work with her alleged abuser... or idly and passively wait as her career tick-tocks away."

The company subsequently denied her request and a lawyer also stated that it would be unfitting for them to communicate with the singer due to the fact that she is additionally suing Sony. Sebert cites that Sony knew about and supported Dr. Luke's behavior as well as putting their female artists in danger of sexual assault. Geragos is vehemently requesting help from the courts as Sebert's parent label does not appear to be willing to offer any.

The singer previously known as Ke$ha first accused the producer of sexual abuse last October and said, "I know I cannot work with Dr. Luke. I physically cannot. I don't feel safe in any way," according to the Hollywood Reporter. Sebert has claimed that Dr. Luke, real name Lukasz Gottwald, has both drugged and raped her in the past as the two have been working together since she was the tender age of eighteen. Gottwald's camp has claimed that her accusations are merely an attempt to extricate herself from her contracts.
