On Tuesday, Kesha claimed that Dr. Luke sexually abused her for a period of ten years in a shocking lawsuit she filed against the famed pop music producer.
Shortly thereafter, Luke countersued, insisting that Kesha had conspired with her new management team and her mother, Pebe Sebert, to file the suit as an extortion tactic.
Luke claimed that Kesha and her team desperately wanted to be released from a contract with his record company, and would do anything to get what they wanted.
Now, TMZ has obtained an email sent by Sebert to Luke's lawyer last year that seems to complicate matters further.
In the email, Sebert maintains that Luke's alleged crimes really happened, but she also uses them as leverage to squeeze more money out of Luke:
"We, me and Kesha and her friends, like Lady Gaga, are going to make all of this really PUBLIC in the next few days," Sebert writes. "Luke date raped Kesha when she was 18."
"Nicky Hilton's birthday? Paris Hilton's house? Luke gave Kesha pills. She ended up naked in his hotel room two days later. No longer a virgin?"
"So we want all of this to come out? Either Luke releases Kesha from all legal contracts and gives me back my publishing, or we, Kesha and I, tell the truth."
She concludes the email by assuring the lawyer, "If I wind up dead, TRUST ME, IT'S IN WRITING TO CALL YOU AND LUKE."
The accusations are certainly stunning, but it's almost equally shocking that Kesha's own mother would use such a horrific incident to secure publishing rights to her music, rather than immediately going to the authorities.
Whichever side proves to be telling the truth in this case, it will likely turn out that Kesha was used and mistreated by those she trusted from a tragically young age.
