Anyone see that Kesha meme on facebook?

She should have talked to the guys from Incubus before trying to dispute a contract with Sony. She isn't the first musical career they've destroyed. These multi-album contracts are designed to milk the entertainer until they eventually bust.

Which is what this is really all about

She is a horrible person. Accusing someone of drugging and rape. She and her mother swore under oath in 2011 that neither of these things happened. There was no rape kit performed, there is no physical evidence. This is purely her word against his. Her story has flopped back and forth multiple times.

The meme was a picture of her crying, with a giant wall of text basically telling her story as if it were fact. Clearly made by a fangirl... Got over 100,000 shares/likes/comments... People can be so stupid

Just because she said something happened, doesn't mean it did.

And I'm reading article comment sections, filled with comments of the manner... "victims commonly deny due to shame and guilt"

That type of reasoning is so idiotic and should not be anywhere near a courtroom. That type of thinking leads to exploitative legislation where women can retroactively determine consent and what constitutes rape.

And it's like people don't realize lying under oath is a criminal offence.

Social media can be a piece of shit some times.

"Despite the judge adding Kesha had the right to choose another producer with whom to work, she broke down sobbing at the hearing in Manhattan."

[oh the horror]

What really bothered me about this story is you get level headed males commenting on the legal aspects of not being able to just break contracts due to accusations or mentioning ANYTHING to the contrary and immediately they had legions of women calling them names and just ripping them to shreds like they condone rape on any level.



Look, we all know rape is wrong. We know his. However, we also as men know that allegations of rape sometimes are false and women DO use them to seek revenge or get ahead, like in this case in a legal matter, and some get PAID.


Once this allegation is out there the man is labeled in this way for LIFE. Meanwhile I've yet to hear anything happening legally to a woman who falsely accuses a man of this.

There are some ladies that actually believe a man should be guilty until proven innocent in cases of rape allegations.


I'll repeat, some women believe men that are accused of rape should be deemed guilty and proven innocent. How terrifying is that?

An agreement is an agreement. You don't get out if it because your fans feel bad. The root of it is she wants more money anyway. Who cares who makes more between them? She makes a lot from her success. If she thinks she should make more that's on her. She's gotta grow up.

Dug into this a little bit. This is 110% about money and nothing else.

Two things that stand out to me.

1.) This Dr. Luke guy offered Kesha the opportunity to finish out her recording contract without his involvement. She'd have been free to write and record without his input, finish out her contract and then hit the road. She turned this down.

2.) She's used the civil court system to try and bully her way out of recording contracts before.

3.) She's made statements saying how her entire focus is solely about getting her music out...that she'd record it on her own and release it for free. Three years later, she hasn't done this.

Conclusion: Chick wants all the money to go to her. Has decided that the social stigma and "guilty until proven innocent" mentality that accompanies merely accusing someone of a vile crime is perfectly acceptable tactic for achieving this. Its also slightly ironic considering she is 100% the prototype of a manufactured pop superstar who owes just about everything that is her career to other people, including the people she's suing. Why she thinks this entitles her to all of the money when other people are doing a ton of the work is mind-boggling.

Conclusion: This Dr. Luke guy is a sleazy record industry type doing what every record company does: screwing artists out of sales royalties.

Great post. Disgusting how all these female artists are coming out supporting her when she has no evidence whatsoever

Somebody mentioned Incubus before. I go back to the SCIENCE days with those guys and their show at the Avalon nighclub in Boston a month or two before Morning View dropped ranks as one of my Top 5 shows of all time out of hundreds I've been to. THAT was a case of an artist with a legitimate beef against their record label. They don't have hired songwriters to polish their work. They create all of their own artwork and photography for their records. Like the majority of rock bands, they built their brand from the ground up.

This Kesha broad is a product. Her mother trained her from the start to be a pop star and used music industry contacts to make it happen. Just looking at the singles she's released, while she does get writing credit on the songs, someone record industry hitmaker (Luke and Max Martin, namely) is also credited with taking whatever she's doing and making it better. What she gets is probably in line with what she deserves considering where the material comes from.

Her net worth is 40 mil

I don't know about you but it seems like she's earned a hell of a lot of coin

Some people just want the world

The overwhelming majority of musicians make their money on touring constantly and merchandise sales. Even with the millions of albums and singles she's sold, she sees very little of that money.

If she wasn't using an army of songwriters to actually compose her music, I'd say she should be entitled to more than her contract probably gives her, industry standard or not. But...she's not.

Honestly, you sign with a major record label, and they make you work with their trite songwriters.

I know someone who was making some fresh and fairly original music, and now he's signed with a record label, they just churn out garbage at an ridiculous rate. All about the $.
