I feel like his previous girlfriends were more tolerant of his behavior and may have enabled it to some extent. Amber seems to have been actively trying to get him to sober up. When he would disappear for days at a time, she would go looking for him to bring him home. Many addicts don’t like how they feel when they’re…

The headline is stating what her defense strategy is going to be. Maybe she’s telling the truth. Maybe she isn’t. We’ll have to wait and see how the trial plays out. It is a fact that people have carried out crimes due to coercion from someone else. And its not just women it happens to. Dominant males also coerce…

I just finished the book The Unbreakable Miss Lovely and I’m still creeped out by it. It seems Scientology has become far less litigious though and people seem to be less afraid of mocking them.

I think it’s a big mistake because Trump has also been accused of rape (and abuse). That story didn’t get much traction when it first came out but it might now.

The judge could have granted Kesha an injunction and ended all of this. She didn’t do that because she believed the silly claim made by lawyers for both Luke and Sony that Kesha would be allowed to release music and have it promoted. It turns out that Kesha’s lawyer’s point that is was an elusive promise proved to be…

His contract is up in November 2016.

Yes, she has a whole new legal team. All are highly respected lawyers and one is a former federal prosecutor.

Kesha accused Luke of rape in 2005. You could also say who in their right mind would stay in a business relationship with someone who’d accused them of rape whether those allegations were true or false. You would think the accused wouldn’t want to remain in a business relationship with their accuser, especially if…

That makes a lot more sense. There was no way her lawyers would have let her make some big statement. Her new lawyer Daniel Petrocelli is considered one of the best in entertainment. I don’t think he would have allowed it. Plus, Kesha is so careful, I doubt she’d even want to.

I wonder how all of this will affect her injunction appeal. Sony said she could work with other producers but then admitted after the PR backlash they actually had no control over Kesha’s contract. It would seem Sony’s lawyers were less than honest in court. Kesha released a new single True Colors a couple of weeks…

How to they explain the thousands of New Yorkers who saw the planes? Are they thought to be actors like in Sandy Hook?

“If you don’t want people snooping through your medical records you shouldn’t sue them for causing physical or psychological harm.”

This judge has been very balanced so far. She denied Kesha’s injunction but has also made some rulings in her favor.

She wasn’t rich when the incident is said to have happened. She was a waitress at the time.

Kesha had been telling people for years that Luke had raped her. That included telling a lawyer in late 2005. Her one denial probably won’t help him as much as he’d like to believe.

When Kesha went to rehab she did tell them everything that happened between her and Dr. Luke. The doctors recommended that she break off contact with him. So I think her medical records wouldn’t damage her case at all. But I’m sure she discussed unrelated things with her doctors as well. I can understand why she would…

Luke can’t make the claim that Kesha lied under oath though. The last thing he’d want to admit is that she was lying when she denied the rape happened.

That would make more sense if they would remain private. I think Kesha herself would be willing to use some of her medical evidence against him. I remember her previous lawyer saying she went to a doctor soon after the alleged rape in 2005.

Some of her counterclaims were thrown out but the case is ongoing.

I see stories like this on Jezebel from time to time but never stories on what the judges actually decide. Is this something judges typically allow? Because it’s seems like it would have a very chilling effect on abuse victims.
