Kesha Finally Leaves Controversial Dr. Luke Label, Management Firm – Report

Kesha is one of the biggest pop stars of the 2010s decade. However, her fame was impended after she accused mega-producer Dr. Luke of sexual assault, among many others.

The accusations spanned years and resulted in a strained relationship between them and their respective careers.

Now, it has been reported that Kesha has finally parted ways with her label and management firm.

Kesha Leaves Dr. Luke Music Label

Sources told Variety that Kesha has finally fulfilled her end of the contract at Kemosabe Label, a label under RCA Records.

The conclusion came seven months after she released her last contractual album with the label, "Gag Order," in May 2023. Notably, in June 2023, Kesha settled a decade-long dispute and lawsuit against Dr. Luke.

Aside from leaving Kemosabe, Kesha has also "amicably" left her management company, Vector Management. As of this writing, neither Kemosabe, RCA, Vector nor Kesha has issued any statement following Kesha's departure.

Kesha Settles Dispute With Dr. Luke

The decade-long dispute and legal headache that cost both Kesha and Dr. Luke's careers finally took a final lap last June 2023. The lawsuit included a plethora of scathing allegations against Dr. Luke, which included sexual assault and battery, sexual harassment, gender violence, emotional abuse, and more.

Kesha dropped the lawsuit after she revealed that she "cannot recount" the details of the alleged assault anymore.

"Only God knows what happened that night," Kesha remarked at the time. "As I always said, I cannot recount everything that happened. I am looking forward to closing the door on this chapter of my life and beginning a new one. I wish nothing but peace to all parties involved."

Ever since Kesha accused Dr. Luke of such a thing, celebrities have sided with Kesha, supporting her complaint against the music industry giant.

Nevertheless, Kesha won a defamation lawsuit against Dr. Luke,

The New York Court of Appeals reversed a ruling previously made by a lower court in 2021, saying that he was not a "public figure" when Kesha accused her of sexual assault and battery.

"By 2014, when Gottwald initiated this defamation action, he was, by his own account, a celebrity - an acclaimed music producer who had achieved enormous success in a high-profile career," the statement released by the appeals court read at the time.
