New York appeals court upholds summary judgment that ruled the producer is not a public figure

On Thursday, New York Supreme Court Judge Jennifer G. Schecter ruled that Kesha had defamed Gottwald in the text message to Lady Gaga, citing Perry’s denial and that there was no supporting evidence for the claim. The judge also rejected Kesha’s legal team’s defense assertions that Gottwald is a “public figure.”

The judge also ordered Kesha to pay $374,000 in interest on back royalty payments to Gottwald’s company in breach of her contract. While the ruling appears to be a setback for the pop star’s claims, the judge clarified that Thursday’s ruling was not a declaration on whether or not Gottwald raped Kesha — that aspect would be left to a jury.

“Today’s important decision by the Court in Dr. Luke’s lawsuit brings him closer to the justice that he seeks. First, the Court has now ruled that Kesha made a false and defamatory accusation about Dr. Luke when she baselessly claimed that he raped Katy Perry. Second, the Court rejected Kesha’s attempts to invoke legal technicalities to avoid responsibility for her statements.,” Lepera continued. “And third, the Court also correctly held that Kesha breached her contract with Dr. Luke’s company.

This makes me really sad... KeshaRose sweetie.. You don't deserve this

Kesha has been treated so unfairly in court since she first spoke out. Claiming Dr. Luke isn’t a “public figure” is complete bullshit when we have the GRAMMYs nominating him for ‘Producer of the Year’ - it doesn’t make any sense but I’ll leave it there.
