After losing her the injunction that would have allowed her to record music independently of Sony Music and her long-time producer Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald), pop singer Kesha finally breaks her silence to thank the people who have helped her via a heartfelt post on her Facebook page.
In her post, she expressed that the court case was simply about being freed from her abuser, and now, with the New York Supreme Court siding with Dr. Luke, she fears that everyone who’s been in the same situation, especially young girls, might become discouraged from speaking up about being abused.
“I think about young girls today,” she writes. “I don’t want my future daughter—or your daughter—or any person to be afraid that they will be punished if they speak out about being abused, especially if their abuser is in a position of power.”

I’m so, so beyond humbled and thankful for all of the support I’vereceived from everyone. Words cannot really express…

Kesha filed an injunction in 2015 so she could create music without Sony Music or Dr. Luke, who she says “sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally abused” her during the 10 years they were working together. Since filing the case against Dr. Luke for sexual assault and abuse in 2014, Kesha has included Sony as a defendant for allegedly having “knowledge of Dr. Luke treating female entertainers under his tutelage and supervision in the same manner.”
Fans and celebrities alike rallied behind the singer, showing their support by posting with the hashtag “#FreeKesha.” Some celebs likeTaylor Swift also offered donations to aid Kesha with her financial needs.
While she still has a chance to hopefully turn things around, we just hope that her case won’t be another one of those wherein sexual abuse and rape will be left unproven, and victims will be given no justice because no one listened to them.
