Kesha and producer Dr. Luke have settled their defamation lawsuit out of court, ending a fraught decade-long legal battle stemming from Kesha's claim that her former producer had sexually assaulted her.

announcing the settlement Thursday, Kesha said, “only God knows what happened that night,” while Dr. Luke again proclaimed innocence.

“Only God knows what happened that night,” Kesha wrote. “As I have always said, I cannot recount everything that happened. I am looking forward to closing the door on this chapter of my life and beginning a new one. I wish nothing but peace to all parties involved.” “While I appreciate Kesha again acknowledging that she cannot recount what happened that night in 2005, I am absolutely certain that nothing happened,” added Dr. Luke. “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.

Kesha’s latest album, “Gag Order,” was released on May 19. It’s her final album for Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe label imprint. She’s scheduled to perform at the Hollywood Palladium on Nov. 18. Dr. Luke has multiple songwriting and productions credits on the forthcoming Kim Petras album, set for release tonight at 9 p.m. PT. He co-wrote and produced Lil Durk’s “All My Life” feat. J. Cole, which currently sits at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
