There has been overwhelming support for Kesha following a judge’s decision to deny her release from her Sony contract with Dr. Luke — despite allegations that he was emotionally, mentally and sexually abusive toward her.
But now it’s Dr. Luke’s turn to break his silence on the lawsuit, and he did so with a lengthy speech about how the truth will prevail.

On Monday, Lukasz Sebastian “Dr. Luke” Gottwald took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the lawsuit, and insisted that he did not rape Kesha.
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 first admitted he does not like to tweet about things that should be dealt with in court, but he would like to address some issues, namely that Kesha reportedly “denied under oath” the allegations against him.
Kesha has denied under oath the horrible allegations now being made against me. Here is the testimony.

Dr. Luke then addressed the claims that he reportedly raped Lady Gaga.
Kesha's lawyer Mark Geragos made another false rape claim against me that was denied by publiscly Lady Gaga

And he took aim at Kesha’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, for only pretending to care about women’s rights.
Mark Geragos (kesha's attorney) represented Scott Peterson and Chris Brown. How can he pretend he cares about women's rights?

Before addressing the rape claims, which he insisted are not true, he added that he has many women in his life, including a “feminist mom.”
Imagine if you or somebody you loved was publicly accused of a rape you knew they didn't do. Imagine that.

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

Dr. Luke then turned the attention to his relationship with Kesha, explaining that they had many creative differences, and it’s “sad” that she would allegedly turn their contract negotiations into something “untrue,” he said.
Kesha and I made a lot of songs together and it was often good but there were creative differences at times.

It’s sad that she would turn a contract negotiation into something so horrendous and untrue.

As a parting thought, Dr. Luke explained he feels confident that the “lies will be exposed.”
But I feel confident when this is over the lies will be exposed and the truth will prevail..

Kesha has not personally responded (at least publicly) to Dr. Luke’s tweets, and since it is an ongoing legal investigation, it’s unlikely that she will. However, around the same time as the tweets appeared, Lady Gaga linked out to a thought-provoking piece on Dazed Digital, which discusses how the “ruling to keep Kesha hostage despite allegations of abuse is a sign that we value the needs of corporations over human life.”
