AceShowbiz - Dr. Luke took to Twitter on Monday, February 22 to address the judge's latest court ruling in the Kesha, formerly Ke$ha, case. The music producer denied he ever raped or had sex with the "TiK ToK" hitmaker.
Luke began, "Until now I haven't commented on the lawsuits, which should be resolved in court not here on Twitter. It's a shame that there's so much speculation out there basing itself on so little information. The only truly objective person who knows the facts is the judge. The judge did not rule in Kesha's favor on Friday."
"I understand why people without all the information are speaking out. I can appreciate their compassion," he continued, "But lives can get ruined when there's a rush to judgment before all the facts come out. Look what happened at UVA, Duke etc. of course any sane person is against rape and sexual assault but everybody who is commenting is doing so without knowledge or facts. They are getting behind an allegation only - motivated by money."
Luke went on to address Kesha's rape allegation against him. "I didn't rape Kesha and I have never had sex with her," he explained, "Kesha and I were friends for many years and she was like my little sister. Kesha has denied under oath the horrible allegations now being made against me. Here is the testimony."
He shared screenshots of some articles about Kesha's 2011 testimony in which she denied date rape by the producer.

Luke added, "Kesha's lawyer Mark Geragos made another false rape claim against me that was denied by publicly Lady GaGa. Mark Geragos (kesha's attorney) represented Scott Peterson and Chris Brown. How can he pretend he cares about women's rights? Imagine if you or somebody you loved was publicly accused of a rape you knew they didn't do. Imagine that."

Luke claimed he was raised by a feminist mother and have 3 sisters and a daughter. "I have 3 sisters, a daughter, and a son with my girlfriend, and a feminist mom who raised me right," he shared, "Kesha and I made a lot of songs together and it was often good but there were creative differences at times. It's sad that she would turn a contract negotiation into something so horrendous and untrue. But I feel confident when this is over the lies will be exposed and the truth will prevail.."
"I want to thank all my friends and family who have supported me throughout this. This is an ongoing legal case so I won't be responding / talking much about this. This should be tried in a court of law," he concluded.
