Kesha is suing her longtime producer, Dr. Luke, for sexual, verbal and physical abuse, which he counters is false and tantamount to extortion. So who's telling the truth?
When it came to Kesha suing Dr. Luke, the pop singer had "a lot of trepidation," her lawyer, Mark Geragos, said on Good Morning America today.
But the 27-year-old did just that, and Lukasz Gottwald almost immediately countersued the singer, citing extortion, defamation and breach of contract.
Just the same, "she's strong," Geragos said, noting that "when I talked with her yesterday, I thought she was enormously resilient ... she's in a good place."
The star claims his abuse was so severe that she "nearly lost her life," alleging that she was often plied with alcohol and "cruelly and incessantly" berated.
She claimed that Dr. Luke's alleged verbal abuse contributed to the singer developing an eating disorder, for which Kesha went to rehab earlier this year.
Her fans tore Dr. Luke a new one then, blaming him almost entirely.
Now, "she's in a place where she's strong enough that she can make it work. She can stand up to him," Geragos said. "I mean, this is a frightening thing."
Kesha at last night's Billboard Music Awards. Is it just us, or is she looking mighty good these days?
"The date rape. Years of mental and emotional abuse. Those are things that I think anybody, especially at her age when this started, would be devastated by."
Undoubtedly, if you assume that they actually happened.
Gottwald's lawsuit denies all claims made by Kesha and added that her mother "has made clear that extortion is the ultimate goal of this defamatory campaign."
Gottwald's lawyer, Christine Lepera, told ABC News that she believes the claims will prove "nothing more than a continuation of her bad and offensive acts."
According to Lepera, "Kesha and her mother are engaged in a campaign of publishing outrageous and untrue statements about Dr. Luke to third parties."
Their goal, she says, is to weild "defamatory statements in an attempt to extort Gottwald into releasing Kesha from her exclusive recording agreement with Dr. Luke."
What do you think? Whose side are you more inclined to believe, or is perhaps the truth somewhere in the middle, a murky gray area as is so often the case?
Hey, it's Ke$ha! And there is Ke$ha's butt! The singer is anything but shy in this Twit pic.
