Over the last few months, the media has not been able to stop talking about the case of pop artist Kesha suing Sony and her producer Dr. Luke after he allegedly verbally, emotionally, physically and sexually abused her. The case started in 2014 when Kesha initially sued Dr. Luke, but lately there have been updates about the case.

Kesha is being held hostage in her record deal with Sony and judges refuse to let her out of her contract so she can record new music. On Feb. 19, a New York State judge denied Kesha the right to get out of her music contract with Sony and Dr. Luke.

This past week, new information was released concerning the case. The recording artist posted a photo on Instagram on April 3 with a caption that said, “so. I got offered my freedom IF I were to lie. I would have to APOLOGIZE publicly and say that I never got raped. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS behind closed doors. I will not take back the TRUTH. I would rather let the truth ruin my career than lie for a monster ever again.”

It sickens me that a woman who has gone through so much abuse for her career would be denied the right to be able to record her music freely without a monster controlling her work. Kesha should not have to face being raped and abused to do what she loves.

I have so much respect for Kesha after this because she is willing to do anything to make sure that the truth comes out. She is willing to give up her career to make sure Dr. Luke gets what he deserves. She is not giving up and lying about what happened and she shouldn’t have to. I love how she fired back through Instagram, letting her fans know that she won’t give up on this.

I have no idea how Dr. Luke is not even getting reprimanded for his actions. This shows how much power huge media companies like Sony have over our judicial system. I know it’s just Kesha’s allegations against his word, but not even allowing Kesha to have her freedom from him is just wrong.

The hashtag #freeKesha has been trending over Instagram and Twitter during the past few months, showing support for the musical artist. Many fans have been taking to the Internet to show their support and to let her know that she is not alone.
