Severing the Contract: Legal Battles of Kesha and Dr. Luke
from Whispers of the Moirai · host Kaitlyn Z
A fruitful relationship has soured and rotted, but why? Did the young female artist just lash out over an unfair contract and accuse an innocent producer of one of the most heinous crimes out of spite? Or, did the successful producer use his power to abuse the artist and then try to ruin her financially when she spoke out? This episode covers the nine year long legal battle between Kesha and Dr. Luke with details before and after the court proceedings. Have You Experienced Sexual Assault and Need Help?
