Dr. Luke denied her allegations and countersued Kesha. In 2016, a judge dismissed all of the “Cannibal” singer’s abuse allegations, citing that the claims were outside of the statute of limitations.

Kesha and Dr. Luke’s volatile legal battle went on for years until they came to an agreement last year. In June 2023, the former music collaborators released statements, announcing the end of their brutal dispute.

“Only God knows what happened that night,” Kesha said in her statement, referring to the alleged night that she was assaulted. “As I have always said, I cannot recount everything that happened.

I am looking forward to closing the door on this chapter of my life and beginning a new one. I wish nothing but peace to all parties involved.”

For his part, Dr. Luke continued to deny the “Blow” singer’s allegations, saying in his statement, “While I appreciate Kesha again acknowledging that she cannot recount what happened that night in 2005, I am absolutely certain that nothing happened.

I never drugged or assaulted her and would never do that to anyone. For the sake of my family, I have vigorously fought to clear my name for nearly 10 years.

It is time for me to put this difficult matter behind me and move on with my life. I wish Kesha well.”

In December 2023, Kesha officially left Dr. Luke’s label, Kemosabe Records, after dropping her album *Gag Order,* which she was contractually obligated to release with his label.
