A judge's big ruling on Thursday could be worse for Kesha, still battling producer Lukasz 'Dr. Luke' Gottwald after five years in court
A judge's big ruling on Thursday could be worse for Kesha Rose Sebert, still battling producer Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald after five years in court. But not much as the pop star has suffered some serious setbacks on the road to trial.
Dr. Luke, in his suit, claims Kesha has smeared him with false rape allegations. He alleges that her attorneys cooked up a "sham" lawsuit complaint in order to get her out of recording and publishing contracts. Kesha's former attorneys provided a draft of the complaint to Sony, and as the suit was filed, the media got it too.
"Gottwald certainly is not a 'general public figure,'" writes the judge. "Although he may be well known in music-industry circles, he has never been a household name or achieved general pervasive fame and notoriety in the community. Nor is he a limited-purpose public figure." "Ordinarily, statements made during or in connection with good-faith anticipated litigation are privileged and cannot give rise to defamation liability," writes the judge. "Here, however, there are sharply disputed questions of fact going to the heart of the case about whether Kesha's California complaint was brought in good faith, as Kesha asserts, or whether it was a 'sham' intended to defame and pressure plaintiffs, as plaintiffs assert.
