Kesha and Her Lawyer 'Are Prepared to Fight' Dr. Luke

After news that the 'Tik Tok' hitmaker is suing her music producer emerges, Kesha's lawyer says, 'We are prepared to fight until he agrees to get out of her life once and for all.'

Kesha, formerly Ke$ha, has filed a lawsuit against her music producer Dr. Luke, alleging sexual abuse and she is prepared to fight him in the court. The statement was delivered by her lawyer Mark Geragos after the suit made headlines, telling PEOPLE, "We are prepared to fight until he agrees to get out of her life once and for all."

In her lawsuit, Kesha alleges that she "nearly lost her life" because of Dr. Luke's treatment to her. The producer, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, allegedly sexually abused her and "cruelly and incessantly" commented on her physical appearance among other allegations. The "Tik Tok" hitmaker, however, only found the courage to fight back now.

"She's made efforts, [but] she is not a confrontational person. The efforts were always met with psychological warfare, [predatory behavior] and things of that ilk. She finally got to a place where she is surrounded by people that are supportive enough that she felt like she could finally do it, and felt like she needed to do it. She just couldn't go on this way. Getting out of the contract is really secondary to extricating herself from his control," Geragos explained.

"It's emblematic of what happens in this industry," Geragos said of sex abuse in entertainment industry. "You get these guys who end up preying on these young women, tying them up in contracts and in their power plays, and then literally being predators. [Dr. Luke] is nothing but a predator."

Dr. Luke has denied Kesha's allegations and launched a countersuit. In a statement, the producer said that "extortion [was] the ultimate goal of this defamatory campaign."
