Kesha

The music industry is huge. There's competition and drama around every corner, but I've never heard of anything as devastating as what is happening with Kesha right now.

A law suit filed in October of 2014 has just received it's verdict or decision. The suit is looking to void Kesha's contracts with Dr. Luke, her producer and manager. For ten years, Kesha claims Dr. Luke sexually, verbally, physically and emotionally abused her. Her manager, who she should have been able to trust controlled her in unimaginable ways. Kesha developed an eating disorder and nearly died to the stress she was under.

Kesha didn't bring this up to anyone or talk about it for ten years because of the power that Dr. Luke has. He's a successful producer and has worked with stars such as Kelly Clarkson and P!NK. He has monetary power and power of recognition. If Kesha came forward with these accusations, she feared that he would destroy her, with both her career and her mental health.

With these accusations, Dr. Luke countersued Kesha and her team for defamation and breach of contract. Also claiming that Kesha's "false" accusations and refusal to record music are near extortion. But who would want to record music with their abuser? Their rapist? The one man who controlled her for so many years? People are claiming that Kesha has no case because she's had a chance to record music. I don't blame her at all for wanting to get the hell away from this controlling man.

Judge Kornreich, who oversaw the case has decided to wait to announce her decision about dismissing the case or not. Kornreich wants to hear the California Courts' decision and hear more substantial evidence before setting her decision in stone.

Kesha is not alone in this battle. Her multitude of fans have come forward to support her, standing outside the courthouse as the case proceeded. Holding signs that say "Free Kesha!" Multiple other artists have stepped forward in support for Kesha. Taylor Swift gave the artist $250,000 to help her financially during this difficult time. Last night at the Brit Awards, Adele received her award and publicly stated her support for Kesha. Artists such as Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus have also posted on social media, showing their support for Kesha.

I don't care if Kesha's able to record right now and choosing not to, she still deserves to put her attacker and personal terrorist behind bars. He abused her in every way imagineable. That's unacceptable. I don't care if he's a well known producer and a major player in the music industry. He's a monster that doesn't deserve to life a normal life while his victim can't.
