Kesha Deposition Tape Leaks

Kesha Swears Dr. Luke DID NOT Rape Her In Leaked Deposition Tape — Watch Video

Well, this is awkward. Kesha may be claiming Dr. Luke drugged and raped her when she was 18, but in a deposition taken in 2011, the ‘TiK ToK’ singer firmly swore under oath that he didn’t. And it was all caught on video. Watch the newly released clip here!
Portions of Kesha’s deposition taken in 2011, in which she flatly denies Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald) ever drugging her or raping her, have surfaced online. And they’re so shocking that we can only imagine they’ll hurt any efforts she may make in the future to appeal the Feb. 19 court ruling, which forces her to fulfill her contract with Sony.
