Reviewing Kesha's Rape Fantasy

One of the most infamous cases to emerge from the #MeToo movement, after the Harvey Weinstein case, is a case so spectacularly retarded that it makes Jussie Smollett look like a criminal mastermind.

This is the Dr. Luke vs. Kesha case, where a contract dispute turned into rape theatre.

If your only exposure to this case was feminist Twitter, you’d assume he had a basement full of victims and a conviction record longer than the list of men Kesha allegedly slept with. Wrong. This entire cultural cancellation was built on the testimony of exactly one alleged victim, who couldn’t prove it happened, lied under oath about it, and whose own mother accidentally exposed the whole thing as an extortion scheme.

In 2005, Dr. Luke discovered 18-year-old Kesha Sebert, a high school dropout who'd moved to Los Angeles with dreams bigger than her educational achievements. Being too charitable for his own good, he signed her to his Kemosabe Records label and Prescription Songs publishing company and spent the next several years turning her into a pop star, investing $60 million in her career. 

By his account, she was “like a little sister” to him, which, given how this story ends, might be the most depressing part of all. He was essentially taking care of her as both a new artist and a high school dropout, even offering to let her record without working with him directly.

Under Dr. Luke's guidance, Kesha scored hits like "TiK ToK" and became a household name. During production, he famously told her to make the music "more dumb", advice that apparently worked so well she applied it to her legal strategy years later. 

During this same period, Dr. Luke was also working with other major artists, from Katy Perry to Kelly Clarkson to Avril Lavigne.

By 2014, Dr. Luke was at his career peak, a Grammy-nominated producer who had won ASCAP's pop songwriter of the year multiple times. For years, his relationship with Kesha appeared normal. Kesha sent him birthday cards, her mother called him "part of our family," and there were zero public complaints of abuse. 

 If Dr. Luke was running some kind of predatory operation, he was apparently doing it so subtly that even his alleged victim didn't notice, which would make him either the world's most considerate rapist or, more likely, not a rapist at all.

Then, in October 2014, Kesha filed a lawsuit claiming Dr. Luke had "sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally abused" her for a decade. The centerpiece of her claims was an alleged rape at a party at Paris Hilton's house, where she claimed Dr. Luke gave her "sober pills" that were actually GHB, and she woke up naked in his hotel room.

The story goes like this:

Eighteen-year-old Kesha Sebert walked alone through the upstairs of Paris Hilton's Hollywood Hills house. She had just moved from Tennessee and was trying to drink champagne while taking in the fancy surroundings. But she felt sick. Downstairs was Lukasz Gottwald, the music producer who had signed her to make her a pop star. Then something went wrong at the party. 

Sebert threw up in a closet and knocked over cocaine in a bathroom, she later said in court. "That was a party faux pas," Sebert remembered. Gottwald said, "There was a bit of panic." After midnight on October 6, 2005, they left Hilton's house and walked onto Kings Road. The lights of Sunset Strip glowed below them. Within minutes, they reached Sunset Boulevard, turned right, and went into the Mondrian hotel in West Hollywood. 

Her mother testified that Kesha called her saying, "I don't know where I am. I think we had sex. I'm sore and sick."

According to Dr. Luke's version of events, after Kesha was kicked out of the party, he and Kesha walked to his nearby hotel where he gave her his bed to sleep in while he went and slept elsewhere, making no physical or sexual contact with her and leaving the next morning without incident.

An eyewitness who saw both Dr. Luke and Kesha at the party said they didn't see anything weird between them.

But Kesha's creativity didn't stop there. She also claimed Dr. Luke forced her to snort unknown substances before flights, sexually assaulted her mid-air, and "violently thrashed his arms" at her in recording sessions, causing her to run barefoot down the Pacific Coast Highway.

According to Kesha, Dr. Luke not only assaulted her but also called her "a fat fucking refrigerator" and delivered what sounds like dialogue from a rejected James Bond villain: "You are not that pretty, you are not that talented, you are just lucky to have me."

In a story about rape, Kesha dedicates significant space to complaining about being called fat. Now, imagine Jeffrey Epstein's victims including a section about him being mean to them, you'd immediately think something was off. 

When someone allegedly forces themselves on you, and your main concern is preserving the time he compared you to kitchen appliances, you've accidentally revealed what really bothered you about the relationship.

The weight comments probably happened, producers say rude things all the time, and friends joke about each other’s appearance. The comments about her looks make sense, but the rape allegation is where the story falls apart. That’s likely why she included the weight comments. Mixing in half-truths is what makes a lie believable, because the rape story made absolutely no sense.

In 2011, during a completely unrelated lawsuit, Kesha was asked under oath about her relationship with Dr. Luke. Her responses were crystal clear:

"Did you ever have an intimate relationship with Gottwald?" 

Kesha:"No."

 "Did Dr. Luke ever give you a roofie?" 

Kesha: "No." 

"Did Dr. Luke make sexual advances at you?" 

Kesha: "Dr. Luke never made sexual advances at me."

Her mother also testified that she was "unaware" of any sexual encounters or assault. So either Kesha forgot she was raped for three years, or she lied under oath in 2014. When caught, her legal team explained she wasn't "entirely transparent" in 2011 because she was "terrified" and suffering from "rape trauma syndrome."

This is where the story becomes insulting to actual rape victims. The excuse that she lied because she was afraid of her rapist might work if she were the only witness. But her mother also lied under oath. According to this theory, we're expected to believe that not only was Kesha too traumatized to tell the truth, but her mother was also so concerned about of her daughter's rapist that she also lied alongside her.

Most mothers would say, “I don’t care what he’ll do. I don’t care about anyone’s career. If you’re telling me this man raped you, I’ll make him see hell.” There’s usually some kind of I-don’t-care-who’s-in-front-of-me passion that overtakes parents when they know something happened to one of their kids, especially something as serious as rape.

Her mother also referred to Dr. Luke as family years after the abuse. What kind of mother knows her daughter was abused and still refers to the abuser as "family"? Either Pebe Sebert is competing with Casey Anthony for the "Worst Mother in America" award, or nothing happened.

Not only did her mother lie to cover up her daughter’s alleged assault, she also used that same assault as a contract negotiation tactic. The case completely imploded when Dr. Luke’s lawyers presented an email from Kesha’s mother, dated October 29, 2013, a full year before the lawsuit. In it, Pebe Sebert laid out the entire scheme:

"Tomorrow I am going to start making public how Dr. Luke blackmailed me... We, me and Kesha and her friends... are going to make all of this Really PUBLIC... Luke date raped Kesha when she was 18... Do we want all this to come out? Either... Luke releases Kesha from all legal contracts, and gives me back all my publishing, or we, Kesha and I tell the truth..."

This wasn’t a traumatized mother supporting her victimized daughter, this was a calculated extortion attempt, using rape allegations as leverage. Why are you negotiating contracts by threatening to go public with your daughter’s rape? Does that even sound right to any of you? Shouldn’t you go public with the rape because it’s serious, not use it to negotiate contracts? 

But I’m sure this is also being framed as a “trauma response” somehow. Her mother was so traumatized by her daughter’s rape that she accidentally typed an email using it as a contract negotiation tactic.

And unsurprisingly, judge after judge found Kesha’s claims lacking. In 2016, Judge Shirley Kornreich denied her request to be released from her contract, citing the “vagueness in Kesha’s counterclaims” and the “lack of documentation or hospital records.”

After losing her contract case, Kesha apparently decided her story needed more victims to be believable. She texted Lady Gaga claiming Katy Perry had also been raped by Dr. Luke. 

Katy Perry "unequivocally" denied this and testified she was "annoyed, pissed off" that Kesha would drag her into the case.

“Do you believe that sexual assault or rape is consistent with Dr. Luke’s character,” asked Lepera in a July 2017 deposition in Century City. “No,” Perry replied. The lawyer continued: “Did you … feel any pressure to come out and publicly support Kesha?” “I felt pressured, but I also knew both of them and a lot of people did not. So it was easy for them to be disattached and support an idea rather than an actual instance,” Perry said.

Many of her fans try to gaslight everyone into thinking the bitterness is because Katy works with Dr. Luke. But plenty of artists work with Dr. Luke and still get Kesha’s approval on social media—whether by following them, hanging out with them, or just being cool with them.

Kesha is mad at Katy because Katy didn’t lie on a man’s name.

Katy Perry was annoyed because Kesha falsely asserted that Katy was assaulted. 

Even after Katy came out and said she wasn't a victim, Kesha stood by her characterization of Gottwald as a rapist, not just of her, but of Perry. “Dr. Luke has raped me, it is consistent with his character and I have no reason not to believe it,” she said, referring to the allegation Perry had denied.

In 2020, a judge ruled that the text was defamatory, noting there was “no evidence whatsoever” supporting Kesha’s claim about Perry. Kesha managed to turn Katy Perry from a potential ally into a witness against her credibility, which is why she’s still salty about her to this day.

Every time a witness appeared in this case, they hurt Kesha's credibility. The eyewitness at the party saw nothing unusual. Her mother's own emails exposed the plot. Katy Perry denied being raped. Even Kesha's own previous testimony contradicted her current claims.

This was never about rape, it was about money and contracts. Kesha wanted out of her deal with Dr. Luke, and her team calculated that rape allegations would create enough public pressure to force a settlement, as that email, laid out in painful detail, makes clear.

The most damning evidence isn't what Dr. Luke did or didn't do, it's what Kesha and her mother did. They lied under oath, threatened extortion, and when caught, claimed they were protecting their alleged abuser. 

Despite not being guilty, Dr. Luke's career suffered massive damage. Artists avoided working with him, his name became toxic, and feminist activists treated him like a convicted rapist rather than someone who'd never been proven guilty of anything.

The real victims here are actual rape survivors whose credibility gets damaged every time someone uses sexual assault as a litigation tactic. When you turn rape into a business strategy, you don't just hurt your target, you hurt every woman who's ever experienced real sexual violence.

When your own mother exposes your plot via email, your previous sworn testimony contradicts your current claims, and you still think you can keep going, just because feminists were gassing you up during the MeToo era, you’ve reached a level of mental retardation that’s almost impressive.

Judge Jennifer Schecter initially ruled that Kesha had defamed Dr. Luke and ordered her to pay $373,671.88 in damages. That ruling was later reversed, and the two parties eventually settled, with Dr. Luke not proven guilty of ANY sexual assault allegations.

The Kesha vs. Dr. Luke case stands as a monument to everything wrong with cancel culture and social media justice. If we still believe that Dr. Luke is guilty, despite no conviction, despite all the inconsistencies, despite all the lies, and the lies under oath, then there’s no reason for the same people who defend Jay-Z to also believe his alleged accuser.

The "believe all women" ideology is just a rebranded version of the lynch mob mentality that terrorized black men for generations. Back then, white women could destroy a black man's life with a single accusation, no evidence required, no questions asked, just the word of a white woman against a black man.

Emmett Till was murdered because a white woman claimed he whistled at her. The Scottsboro Boys were nearly executed because two white women falsely accused them of rape. Countless black men were lynched throughout the South based on nothing more than a white woman pointing her finger and saying "he did it."

The only difference now is that modern feminists have expanded their target list from black men to all men. These aren't civil rights activists, they're misandrists. Half of them literally put "misandrist" in their bios while simultaneously accusing men of rape, because apparently hating an entire gender is now considered a personality trait rather than a psychological disorder. 

Kesha quite literally has a song talking about how much she hates straight white men. Megan Thee Stallion, who also accused a man of a crime, has a song where the lyrics are literally "Imagine, if you will, we murdered all the males." Just like the racists hated black people, modern feminists hate men.

The methodology is identical to 1950s Mississippi: accusation equals conviction, evidence is optional, and due process is for people we actually like. If they can convince you that Dr. Luke is guilty without a shred of proof, despite his accuser lying under oath, despite the email, despite every witness contradicting her story, they can convince you that any man is guilty without proof.

They believe Kesha because she’s a woman. This is a believe all women case, and if you don’t believe me, just ask any of them: What would convince you otherwise? What would convince you that Dr. Luke isn’t guilty?

I’m entirely certain that whatever answer they give will only prove exactly what this is: a believe all women case.

Back then, they said "believe all white women" when they accused black men. Now they say "believe all women" when they accuse any man. The rope may be metaphorical now, but the mob justice is identical.

Protect men.
