Last week, Kesha filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke, claiming that her former producer harassed and sexually assaulted her several times over a period of ten years.
Luke countersued Kesha, claiming that the accusations were part of an elaborate extortion plot coordinated by Kesha, her mother, and her new management team.
Now, Kesha’s attorneys have called the media’s attention to a series of tweets the singer posted early this year that seem to corroborate her claims of ongoing abuse:
“These music business a-sholes (well, Dr. Luke) had almost successfully crushed my magic. But that f–ker didn’t win!” reads one tweet, posted while Kesha was in rehab receiving treatment for an eating disorder and emotional issues. She later added:
“I’m here working out some emotional trauma & abuse. There’s someone I work with that is SO abusive.”
Kesha’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, also issues a statement explaining why his client waited so long to file suit:
“She is not a very confrontational person,” Geragos says. “The efforts were always met with psychological warfare, predatory behavior, and things of that ilk.”
“She finally got to a place where she is surrounded by people that are supportive enough that she felt like she could finally do it. She just couldn’t go on this way.”
Luke had previously claimed that Kesha put off filing the papers so that she could blackmail him into letting her out of her contract with his record company.
