Kesha denies sexual abuse in leaked deposition video, and her lawyer responds

Kesha has been locked in a legal battle with her producer Dr. Luke, whom she has accused of sexually abusing her, since 2014, and on Friday the singer was denied an injunction request that would let her work outside her contract while the case plays out.

The singer signed with Lukasz Gottwald, known as Dr. Luke, in 2005 under his label Kemosabe Records, which is owned by Sony. The contract requires her to record six additional albums.

After Kesha, whose full name is Kesha Rose Sebert, accused him of emotional and sexual abuse in a 2014 lawsuit, Dr. Luke responded with a countersuit.

Dr. Luke posted a series of tweets Monday defending himself and denied raping Kesha.

On Tuesday, TMZ released a heavily edited 2011 deposition video - which the site says was from a "Luke source" - in which Kesha denies any sexual abuse by Dr. Luke. The deposition comes from a suit against Kesha and Dr. Luke filed by her former manager David Sonenberg.

In response, Kesha's lawyer says Dr. Luke "threatened" Kesha and told her he would "shut her career down" if she spoke about being drugged and raped.

Fans and other celebrities have rallied behind Kesha with the #freekesha movement.

The singer responded to support from fans and celebrities with an Instagram post.

She said: "I am beyond words in gratitude. thank you is not enough but it is all I have. a million times over and forever thank you. the support I have received has left my face swollen from tears. I love you all so much."

Kesha added that a larger statement is forthcoming.
