this is a bit nuts - the story being told is essentially Kesha was allegedly raped by her producer and evil Sony won't let her out of her contract and now an evil judge has put commercial considerations ahead of a rape victim being 'forced' to work with her abuser....
Taylor Swift has donated $250k to help poor Kesha, Adel has voiced support for her at the Brit awards, other lesser celebs have lent their voices too and legions of so called 'SJWs'
How can a rape victim be forced to work with her abuser like this?
But wait - it turns out she's not forced to, Sony has recognised the issue and stated she can work with a different producer. As for the rape - unfortunately that is a bit of a he said/she said... though, under oath (back in 2011), she has stated that he didn't rape her. Now she's claiming he did - so she previously committed perjury when questioned about the alleged incident before and now wants a court to accept her story because this time she is really telling the truth?
The whole thing seems like a bit of a sham - she's contracted to make six albums, she's made two so far - Sony & 'DrLuke' have invested time and money in her, she was already in negotiations with 'DrLuke' allegedly and threatened this case... and now she's carried it out and sued him, attempted and failed to get a preliminary injunction to break her contract which the judge noted was heavily negotiated (as opposed to the stereotype of a naive young singer signing something they don't understand).
Given her previous statement under oath and her apparent contradiction now I'm not sure how great this case is - the skeptic in me thinks she knows she won't win the case and is playing for publicity here in the hope that the negative PR surrounding this (because, well, rape is a hot topic these days) will cause Sony to renegotiate and/or reach a settlement with her.
Interestingly her Lawyer is hardly a women's rights advocate he represented Chris Brown after he beat the **** out of Rihanna... and on twitter he made a false rape allegation that 'DrLuke' raped Lady Gaga... subsequently deleting the tweet after Gaga denied this. Doesn't sound like a very ethical guy...
