AceShowbiz - Kesha, formerly Ke$ha, files a protective order against Dr. Luke to protect her medical records. Kesha is asking a Manhattan judge not to let "her most sensitive medical records including gynecological, psychiatric, and rehabilitation records going back more than ten years" be made public. Dr. Luke's team is allegedly attempting to deny their confidentiality.
Kesha's attorney James Pearl writes in a motion to Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Shirley Werner Kornreich, "Ms. [Kesha Rose] Sebert now fears that Gottwald will seek to disclose and disseminate her personal medical records in an attempt to embarrass and harass her, and she seeks the entry of a protective order precluding him from doing so."
"[Kesha] has disclosed highly sensitive personal medical records as part of this litigation, and her position as a world-renowned recording artist in whom there is great public interest renders any potential disclosure of those records potentially harmful to her personal and economic interests," James continues.
The order request comes after Luke's legal team refused to agree to keep Kesha's 913 pages of medical records confidential. The Sony parties, meanwhile, agreed to a protective order of confidentiality.
Luke's attorney Christine Lepera says in a statement, "Because Kesha made public accusations and in the case that she was allegedly harmed by Dr. Luke, the Court ordered her to produce her medical records. Now, Kesha wants to hide her records, while continuing to make self-serving, selective and misleading statements to hurt my clients publicly."
"Our position is that that the Court-and not Kesha's lawyers-should decide whether Kesha's medical information remains confidential given her public disclosures," Christine adds, "We in fact offered to keep the records confidential pending the Court's decision as to them. Kesha's attorneys refused that offer, and instead filed their misleading motion for more press attacks on my clients."
