Na sexta-feira (19), a juíza Shirley Kornreich, da Suprema Corte de Nova York, decidiu contra a cantora Kesha, afirmando que ela deve permanecer contratualmente ligada à Sony Music e à Kemosabe Records, gravadora criada e comandada por Dr. Luke.
Kesha acusa o produtor de tê-la drogado, abusado sexualmente e atormentado psicologicamente há quase dez anos.
Dr. Luke e a Sony dizem que ela está violando o contrato por não fazer os três álbuns restantes dos cinco prometidos. “Você está pedindo ao tribunal para dizimar um contrato que foi fortemente negociado e é típico para a indústria”, disse a juíza Kornreich.
Uma foto de Kesha aos prantos após ouvir a declaração da juíza repercutiu na mídia e várias celebridades logo mostraram apoio, com a hashtag #FreeKesha. A decisão final do julgamento foi adiada, ainda sem data confirmada da próxima audiência.
There are people all over the world who love you @KeshaRose. And I can say truly I am in awe of your bravery.

really disappointing to hear about this kesha case. no one should be denied freedom from their abuser, nor freedom of their creativity.

I don’t know all the facts, of course, but the bottom line is: it is a terrible feeling to not own your voice/ be able to release music.

Disgusted by anyone in power positions abusing their authority. My heart breaks for Kesha and all people affected by this toxicity. Fuck.

There’s a quote, I believe from John Fogerty: “The music industry is so corrupt it makes Hollywood look like a charity organization.” #Kesha

H8 2 say this but not surprised about the Kesha verdict- when in history have women ever been able to actually trust the law 2 protect them?

the fact that kesha has to choose to either freely make music or avoid the person who abused her is outrageous and degrading #freekesha

If you don’t see why this Kesha issue is a big deal, you’re part of the problem. This is exactly why I speak up the way I do #FreeKesha
