The conflict has impacted both of their careers.
“I cannot recount everything that happened,” Kesha wrote, adding that she wishes “nothing but peace to all parties involved.”
At the same time, the case raised important legal questions about fame and defamation. The stakes were seen as high enough that media outlets weighed in about pretrial rulings that they worried could help powerful people suppress unflattering reporting. The singer made her name — originally styled Ke$ha — with a series of swaggering, just-try-to-stop-me party anthems, beginning with 2009′s “TiK ToK.” Those early hits were produced by Dr. Luke, who founded the record label that signed a Nashville unknown named Kesha Rose Sebert at age 18.
“The abuse I suffered from Luke was a decade long, every day, every moment of every day,” she said during sworn questioning in 2017. According to Kesha, the ordeal sparked a flare-up of an eating disorder that led to her spending two months in a rehabilitation clinic in 2014. She eventually returned with 2017′s “Rainbow” and two subsequent albums, all with other producers. Her most recent album, “Gag Order,” came out in May.
