Dr Luke Responds To Kesha’s Rape Allegations

Last Friday a judge ruled that singer Kesha would be unable to break the terms of her recording contract with her producer and alleged abuser Dr. Luke. Celebrities like Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson and Demi Lovato have weighed in with Taylor Swift donating €250,000 to the singer, and the public outcry has had many people asking for the verdict to be overturned. However, Dr. Luke has hit back via Twitter, defending himself and citing a lack of evidence to prove any of the accusations brought up in court, calling the fan backlash 'a trial by Twitter'.

It’s a shame that there’s so much speculation out there basing itself on so little information.

The only truly objective person who knows the facts is the judge. The judge did not rule in Kesha's favor on Friday — Dr. Luke Doctor Luke (@TheDoctorLuke) February 22, 2016

of course any sane person is against rape and sexual assault but everybody who is commenting is doing so without knowledge or facts.

I didn’t rape Kesha and I have never had sex with her. Kesha and I were friends for many years and she was like my little sister. — Dr. Luke Doctor Luke (@TheDoctorLuke) February 22, 2016

I have 3 sisters, a daughter, and a son with my girlfriend, and a feminist mom who raised me right.

This is an ongoing legal case so I won't be responding / talking much about this. This should be tried in a court of law. — Dr. Luke Doctor Luke (@TheDoctorLuke) February 22, 2016
