Kesha filed a lawsuit against her producer of 10 years, alleging he sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally abused her, since she signed with him at age 18. According to her lawsuit, she claims Lukasz Gottwald, better known as Dr. Luke, would pressure her into using drugs and alcohol to lower her resistance to his sexual advances. She describes being made to snort something before going on a flight, during which time she says the producer forced himself her. In another instance, the singer claims Dr. Luke allegedly gave her “sober pills” and she later woke up sore, sick, and naked in his bed. Now, Gottwald is countersuing Kesha for extortion. Gottwald says Kesha threatened to spread lies about him unless he released her from her contract.
