The artist and producer sued each other in October 2014 and trial was set to begin in July.

Dr. Luke’s statement says: “While I appreciate Kesha again acknowledging that she cannot recount what happened that night in 2005, I am absolutely certain that nothing happened. I never drugged or assaulted her and would never do that to anyone. For the sake of my family, I have vigorously fought to clear my name for nearly 10 years. It is time for me to put this difficult matter behind me and move on with my life. I wish Kesha well.

As part of their deal, the terms of which have not been made public, each of them is posting both statements. For nearly nine years they were engaged in heated, closely-watched litigation. At this point, after claims were dropped or tossed by the court along the way, Gottwald’s defamation claim was headed to trial in New York. The keystone of that dispute was whether or not the producer is considered a public figure, which would set a higher bar for succeeding on a defamation claim.
