Earlier today, Kesha spoke out on the latest news regarding her legal battle with Sony producer Dr. Luke, real name Lucasz Gottwald.
Back in February, Kesha was denied preliminary injuction in her case with Dr. Luke, with charges of alleged rape and abuse. Since the official ruling, Sony Music Entertainment extended support towards Kesha, but stood firm on the impossibility of terminating the contact with Luke's Kemosabe Records. Then in March, Kesha has appealed the court ruling and filed for a second opinion, leading to the most recent update: The pop singer posted an Instagram picture, whose caption states she would be granted "freedom" in exchange for a public apology. Kesha has denied the proposal, arguing her refusal to lie and rescind the accusations or charges.
The statement reads:
“So. I got offered my freedom IF i were to lie. I would have to APOLOGIZE publicly and say that I never got raped. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS behind closed doors. I will not take back the TRUTH. I would rather let the truth ruin my career than lie for a monster ever again.”

Since the Instagram post, a rep for Dr. Luke responded to Kesha's post via Rolling Stone:
"The Court repeatedly stated Kesha is already free to record without Dr. Luke, and that she had not presented any facts supporting her claims. That's because all the evidence - including Kesha's own videotaped sworn testimony - show her allegations are false. The only thing Kesha is not free to do is to continue to lie about Dr. Luke through publicity stunts and outrageous smears, ignoring the fact that by her own free will she went to work and entered into new contracts with Dr. Luke years after this 'incident' supposedly happened. Her goal all along has been solely personal enrichment by seeking to break contracts that brought her success and millions so she can enter into more lucrative ones. We look forward to our day in court holding Kesha accountable for her lies."
