Kesha

[SdK]

There has to be a middle ground and I'm sure it will be reached. Sony is full of crap though. They let that one direction guy off the hook I believe.

She shouldn't have to spell out all the reasons she no longer wants to work for a company that employs her rapist. Just let her out of the deal and walk away

I haven't come across a concise factual article about the history of the litigation.  It wasn't until after I posted NY's lack of a SOL for rape and someone posted something about Malibu that I found a/this case started in California.  But I saw that one problem she's had in the current matter is her testimony from an earlier case in which she denied some of the things she's now saying happened.  That case had people she had a deal with suing her for breaking that deal and getting w/the guy she's now trying to break off from.

How come this rapist is not in prison?

Money, power, fame, like normal..

She sounds like a total mess. High stakes human trafficking.

Pretty sure it's cause of our rape culture

Has Kesha actually tried to bring criminal charges against Dr. Luke? Just wondering.

How do we know all those beige people are rapists if they've never been convicted?

I'm curious about that too. I'll add that around 50% of the women I have encountered in my life were sexually assaulted. None of which were ever reported.

a) rape is bad
b) those statistics are pieces of crap

The graphic is meant to illustrate how many women have been sexually assaulted and not reported it, not to point to specific people who are unconvicted rapists.

Right but that graphic assumes that all of the men (aside from the two "falsely accused" ones) are, in fact, "rapists."  And I'm saying that's a pretty big assumption to make -- especially when the statistic itself shows that only one in three of the apparent rapists who actually faced trial ended up being jailed.

I'm certainly not claiming that rape isn't underreported, but I am saying that the underreporting problem naturally makes rape statistics pretty much impossible to quantify.

It's quite a catch 22. I mean, surely those figures were reported, or else the "rapists" number is literally completely fabricated. I guess unreported just means to the police.

Also, when you compare the reported to falsely accused numbers it is a bit more concerning. It doesn't make any sense to compare "falsely accused" to the number of rapes anonymously reported in surveys because there is literally no way to determine if those claims are true or false.

Gaga and T-Swizzle are Team #FreeKesha so this will probably be a bigger thing soon. <3

Surprised 'Ye hasn't come out in support of Kesha yet

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

This guy's name is Dr. Luke? Like, he's a doctor? Luke is his last name?

This might be a tough business lesson for kesha, but bad relationship with company rep is not a basis to terminate a contract with company (it sounds like she doesn't like the K antmore).

Maybe her attorney can show Sony knew the guy was a cosby, and she can get a big negligence award for putting him in charge of her. But the contract is the contract

You can't rip up a legal contract based on allegations. If he was convicted of any offense toward her, this would be a different situation.

I know I know. I'm speaking with my heart and not my head.

I can feel that bro. Kesha's alright.

It's weird to me that Nebraska can get out of its Big 12 contract because they get a comparable offer from another Power 5 conference, but Kesha can't get out of her contract with the entity that allegedly raped her. It seems like there should be some sort of fair buyout that could be arranged.

Anyone can break a contract whenever they want. You just have to be willing to pay for it. That's what Nebraska did.

Its a real graph with colors and everything that was passed around via Twitter or something, its obv real/correct.  Don't you know how the internet works?

The graphic would be better if they made it too like an American flag

[Mrs. Gooch]

Dr. Luke says he didn't rape Kesha. I don't know if he did or did not, but it is pretty clear that she was on drugs at the time - otherwise she never would have fixed her hair like that.
