Kesha Sebert, better known simply as “Kesha” of award-winning singer/songwriter fame, has been the center of attention amid recent controversy surrounding the rape allegations she made against her producer, Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald). Kesha’s initial lawsuit was filed in California against Gottwald in October of 2014. This was shortly after her time spent in a rehabilitation center for an eating disorder, for which she blames years of abuse from her producer. Gottwald countered with a lawsuit claiming defamation and breach of contract- which has to be handled in New York due to a contractual “forum clause.” On February 19, New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich denied Kesha’s request for a preliminary injunction. Kesha broke down in tears when the judge gave her decision. The injunction application requested that Kesha be allowed to make music outside of her current six-album contract with Dr. Luke’s label, Kemosabe Records (owned by Sony Music Entertainment), while awaiting the results of ongoing legal proceedings. Kornreich’s decision at the preliminary injunction does not vindicate Gottwald, but it compels Kesha to uphold the contract, pending the outcome of the lawsuits. Kornreich dismissed claims of abuse, viewing the issue as a contract dispute. She explained that invalidated the contract through a preliminary injunction would be an “extraordinary measure”- one that laked supporting evidence. The decision has been criticized enraged fans and fellow…

These unequal rights are exhibited in The Round House by Louise Erdrich, when Geraldine is raped her voice is not heard and…

each side 's support. For Kesha she mentions several prominent names as well as most of the internet and thousands of fans. For Dr. Luke, she merely says, “Sony, obviously. And for now, the New York State Supreme Court.” This references the enthymeme that if everyone is for her she must be right and places Dr. Luke on the losing side of the battle. The next article, “Why We Should Take Kesha’s Allegations Seriously” by Jenn Frank, begins similarly to McCarthy’s piece. For the first several…
