FreeKesha trends after judge rules her texts to Lady Gaga about Dr. Luke were defamatory
After a judge ruled that texts Kesha sent to Lady Gaga where she accused producer Dr. Luke of raping Katy Perry were defamatory,"Free Kesha" trended Friday, with many showing support for the singer.
A New York Supreme Court Judge ruled Thursday that Kesha's texts were defamatory."Publication of a false statement to even one person, here Lady Gaga, is sufficient to impose liability," the judge wrote, according to Pitchfork. Additionally, the judge ruled that Kesha violated her contract with Dr. Luke's company KMI due to late royalty payments. Kesha was ordered to pay $374,000 in interest.singer, in which Kesha accused the producer of raping Perry. In a deposition unsealed in July 2017, Perry testified that Dr. Luke did not rape or sexually assault her, nor did they ever have a sexual or romantic relationship,Kesha's lawyers plan to keep fighting for the singer."We disagree with the Court's rulings.
Dr. Luke's lawyers saw the ruling as a victory."Today's important decision by the Court in Dr. Luke's lawsuit brings him closer to the justice that he seeks," his lawyers said in a statement to Pitchfork."Dr. Luke looks forward to the trial of his case where he will prove that Kesha's other false statements about him were equally false and defamatory."NewsweekFans showed an overwhelming amount of support for Kesha on social media.
The Kesha verdict sucks, and is yet another example of defamation laws being weaponised to silence and punish victims of assault who dare to speak up. ð
