Kesha Wrote About Dr. Luke In Letters To Fans From Rehab

Kesha filed a lawsuit earlier this week against longtime producer Dr. Luke, claiming that he “sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused” her for a decade. But as BuzzFeed just discovered, a rare few weren’t shocked by the allegations. The news outlet discovered (and confirmed the authenticity) of several letters that the Warrior star wrote to devoted fans while staying at Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center earlier this year.

All of her letters were written on coloring book pages. Some of them have the “Timber” singer calling out the super-producer by name. “Annie – yes, Dr. Luke has tortured me & my family … he did do what people know about + so much more terrible shit,” Kesha wrote in one letter – see it below.

Kesha worked with Dr. Luke on four No. 1 singles and several other Top 10 hits, including “Tik Tok,” “We R Who We R” and Pitbull collaboration “Timber.” (The latter took off right as Kesha checked into rehab.) Once she filed a lawsuit, Dr. Luke immediately filed a counter-suit with his lawyer describing her actions as part of “a campaign of publishing outrageous and untrue statements.” Kesha then revealed that she told doctors of the super-producer’s alleged abuse.

These music business assholes (well, Dr. Luke) had almost successfully crushed my MAGIC,” Kesha wrote in another letter. “But that fucker didn’t win.” See Kesha’s other letters to fans at BuzzFeed.
