In 2014, Kesha filed a lawsuit against the songwriter-producer Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald, accusing him of sexual assault and emotional abuse; the two have been embroiled in court battles ever since. In a statement released on Monday, Gottwald’s legal team called Kesha’s initial accusation a “bogus complaint,” part of “a ‘press plan’ and PR media blitz designed to create the maximum negative public pressure on Gottwald in order to get him to give in to her contract demands.”
The statement from the producer’s team presents emails allegedly exchanged between Kesha’s managers,...
