Kesha Withdraws Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Dr. Luke In California

Kesha has dropped her sexual assault lawsuit against Dr. Luke… in California! That much was confirmed on Monday, August 1 when the singer’s legal team formally dropped the lawsuit in California (there’s still one in New York). The Tik Tok singer has been battling with her former producer for the last 2-years and it’s put a strain on her music career.  She can’t release any new music without doing it through her record label, so she’s been stuck between a rock and a hard place. The star tried her best to get out of her contract in order to release music without having to work without Dr. Luke.  That’s not a huge thing to ask, considering the allegations. Right?! It just didn’t seem to work out in Kesha’s favor, so she’s decided to see out the rest of her contractual obligations in order to do her own thing.  That included her submitting 28 songs to her record label.  She even recorded them at her own expense.  She’s desperate to move on from her ordeal.  “Kesha is focused on getting back to work and has delivered 28 new songs to the record label,” Daniel Petrocelli, partner at O’Melveny & Myers, said in a statement to BuzzFeed News. “We have conveyed to Sony Music and the label Kesha’s strong desire to release the single and an album as soon as possible.” Kesha has made it her mission to stay singing. She’s been doing live shows to keep herself busy.  When a huge star like Kesha doesn’t release any music for a while, there’s always that chance that their career will be over when they try and bring new music out.  Dropping the lawsuit in California does not mean that it’s all over.  There’s a similar lawsuit in New York that’s going full steam ahead.  What do you think about the latest developments?

Ladies aren’t even safe on the airplane. Air Marshal Took Up-Skirt Photos Of Female Passengers He wouldn’t need to take a picture of the box if he was getting some box. According to NY Daily News: A federal air marshal has been accused of betraying the very people he was paid to protect.

It Ain’t Over: Kandi Buruss Plans To Battle Kim Zolciak For That “Tardy For The Party” Gwap In Court Again

Kandi, let it go. Kandi Says Legal Battle With Kim Isn’t Over This is why you should never do business with friends. According to US Weekly: Don’t be tardy for the next court date! Kandi Burruss tells Us Weekly that her legal battle with Kim Zolciak over their 2009 song “Tardy for the Party” isn’t over yet. On Saturday, Oct. 12, The Wrap reported that a judge at the United States District Court in the Northern District of Georgia ruled in favor of Zolciak in Burruss’ lawsuit against her former Real Housewives of Atlanta costar. But the 37-year-old singer-songwriter and record producer tells Us she’s not dropping her case yet. “Kim really didn’t win. That was just one level of it,” she explains. “Now it goes back to other levels of the court and it’s still going on. Burruss sued Zolciak, 35, in March for profits made from the sale of the song, claiming the track was sold “without [the] plaintiffs’ authorization, license or consent.” Zolciak responded by filing legal documents of her own, accusing Burruss of filing the lawsuit to promote her now-canceled show The Kandi Show. “It’s just the principal of it at this point,” the Grammy winner tells Us of the ongoing lawsuit. “It’s not about the money. I’m doing great otherwise. It’s all just silly. It’s not a big deal to me. I’ve got my daughter and my fiance and am working on new music and a Broadway show that I will star in! So it’s all good.” Kandi, we get that you’re trying to prove a point, but don’t go broke on attorney fees. Continue reading
