'He's not a good person,' Pink says when opening up about her past experience working with the music producer, who is embroiled in a long, highly-publicized legal battle with Kesha.

AceShowbiz - Pink is opening up about her past experience working with Dr. Luke amid his ongoing legal drama with Kesha, formerly known as Ke$ha. More than a decade after she collaborated with the music producer, the 38-year-old singer is speaking up against him, claiming that "he's not a good person."
In a New York Times profile, Pink first addresses Kesha's allegations that Dr. Luke was sexually and verbally abusive toward her. "I don't know what happened," Pink says of the "Praying" hitmaker's claims, before adding, "but I know that regardless of whether or not Dr. Luke did that, this is his karma and he earned it because he's not a good person."
Pink collaborated with Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, in 2006. He co-wrote and produced three songs on her fourth studio album, "I'm Not Dead". She says she now refuses to work with the 44-year-old, telling the publication, "I have told him that to his face and I do not work with him."
The "What About Us" songstress goes on claiming in the interview, published on Thursday, October 5, that the music mogul "doesn't do good business, he's not a kind person, he doesn't do the right thing when given ample opportunities to do so, and I don't really feel that bad for him."
Pink is not the only singer to speak up against Dr. Luke. Last month, Kelly Clarkson claimed she lost "millions" of dollars to avoid having a songwriting credit "near" the producer's name. She told Z100, "I want to pretend this didn't happen in my life and I want to forget it... I was making a point to the people working with me going, 'This is how much I didn't want to do this.' I don't care about the money."
Kesha filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke in 2014, claiming that he drugged and sexually and verbally abused her. She dropped her sexual assault lawsuit in August last year as she wanted to focus on releasing new music. "My fight continues," she tweeted at the time. "I need to get my music out. I am continuing to fight for my rights in New York. Thank you for all your support."
