AceShowbiz - Sony considers cutting ties with Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald amid growing public pressure following sexual abuse allegations filed against the producer by Ke$ha. His contract with the recording company reportedly won't expire until next year but the label is expected to drop him early due to the controversy.
"There is no contest. Kesha has no case in regards to her contract but they can't afford the Adeles of the world out in the streets calling the label unsupportive," a source told The Wrap. "The fact that this hasn't already been taken care of with Luke is confusing, especially for people in the building."
It's unclear how Sony will part ways with Dr. Luke, but another insider said, "No court has convicted this person, so there may not be any legal basis to terminate an agreement. It would have to be mutual."
Since Kesha lost injunction to have court terminate her contract with Sony and Dr. Luke due to the alleged rape accusations, powerhouse names in music industry like Lady GaGa, Taylor Swift and Adele have since supported the singer.
