Dr. Luke is speaking out for the first time on his legal battle with Kesha. The producer took to Twitter earlier today to respond to Kesha's allegations of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. "I didn’t rape Kesha and I have never had sex with her. Kesha and I were friends for many years and she was like my little sister," he tweeted. Luke went on to say that "any sane person is against rape and sexual assault," but that the people commenting are doing so "without knowledge or facts."
His tweets arrive only hours after his lawyer released an official statement earlier today and called Kesha's allegations an "outright lie." The statement also called any claim that Kesha is not 'free' to record is a 'myth.'
Kesha has yet to make any public statement since before her court date last week where the judge denied Kesha's motion for a preliminary injunction to be released from Kemosabe Records. Read all of Dr. Luke's tweets below.
Until now I haven’t commented on the lawsuits, which should be resolved in court not here on Twitter.
It’s a shame that there’s so much speculation out there basing itself on so little information.
The only truly objective person who knows the facts is the judge. The judge did not rule in Kesha's favor on Friday
I understand why people without all the information are speaking out. I can appreciate their compassion.
But lives can get ruined when there’s a rush to judgment before all the facts come out. Look what happened at UVA, Duke etc.
of course any sane person is against rape and sexual assault but everybody who is commenting is doing so without knowledge or facts.
They are getting behind an allegation only - motivated by money.
I didn’t rape Kesha and I have never had sex with her. Kesha and I were friends for many years and she was like my little sister.
Kesha has denied under oath the horrible allegations now being made against me. Here is the testimony.
Kesha's lawyer Mark Geragos made another false rape claim against me that was denied by publiscly Lady Gaga
Publicly
Mark Geragos (kesha's attorney) represented Scott Peterson and Chris Brown. How can he pretend he cares about women's rights?
Imagine if you or somebody you loved was publicly accused of a rape you knew they didn't do. Imagine that.
I have 3 sisters, a daughter, and a son with my girlfriend, and a feminist mom who raised me right.
Kesha and I made a lot of songs together and it was often good but there were creative differences at times.
It’s sad that she would turn a contract negotiation into something so horrendous and untrue.
But I feel confident when this is over the lies will be exposed and the truth will prevail..
I want to thank all my friends and family who have supported me throughout this.
This is an ongoing legal case so I won't be responding / talking much about this. This should be tried in a court of law.
uh, it's probably worth noting that the selectively unsealed deposition dr. luke is referring to also includes this: pic.twitter.com/CJC1Myix0I
