Last September, hit recording artist Kesha filed a lawsuit against her mentor and producer Lukasz Gottwald (better known as Dr. Luke) in an effort to be released from her recording contract with his company. In her suit, the singer says the prolific hitmaker “sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused” her over the decade they’d worked together, to a degree that he’d “put her life at risk.”

Kesha’s lawsuit alleges at least two specific accounts of rape. In one, she says the producer forced her to inhale a substance prior to boarding a plane which left her incapacitated and, while in the air, sexually assaulted her. In the second, he gave her what he referred to as “sober pills,” which she says she later learned were GHB, a date rape drug. In that instance, the singer says she woke up the next morning feeling sore and disoriented in Dr. Luke’s bed, with no memory of how she’d wound up there.

The suit itself has hit a technical roadblock. Kesha filed her suit in California, but a “forum clause” in her contract stipulates disputes regarding it must be handled in New York. Given that, the California Judge overseeing the case has put it on hold.

What are we to take from the reality that few people seem to care about Kesha’s case? Her public image is as a crass party girl and Dr. Luke helped her career in many ways—is her case being overlooked because she doesn’t fit into the “perfect victim” mold?

THIS DR.LUKE IS SCUM AND SHE’S NOT THE ONLY WOMAN TO BE ABUSED BY THIS ASSHOLE

i just wanna add that she wore this dress as a big fuck you to him a few months after filing and it honestly was such an inspiration to me as an abuse survivor
