Kesha Lawsuit: Demi Lovato & Lorde Speak Out After Verdict

Kesha broke down in court as she lost her case to nullify her contract with Dr Luke and Sony records on Friday.

The 28-year-old has been battling with the record label and producer for the last three years and was inconsolable when her request for a preliminary injunction - that would have given her a temporary break from her contract - was denied by a judge in Manhattan Supreme Court.

The singer wanted to nullify her six album deal with Sony Records after accusing the producer - real name Luke Gottwald - of raping her when she was 18-year-old, but a judge turned down the request claiming it would undermine the state’s laws governing contracts.

Celebrities such as Demi Lovato have spoken out showing their support for the singer:

Frustrating to see women come forward with their past only to be shot down, not believed & disrespected for their bravery in taking action

Happens way too often. I'm ready for women to be taken just as seriously as men..

Someone tell me why anyone would ever feel brave enough to come forward if they are most likely to be ignored or called a liar?

I'm also ready for self-proclaimed feminists to start speaking out or taking action for women's rights.

Women empowerment is speaking up for other women even when it's something uncomfortable to speak up about.

Women empowerment is using your voice to help the voiceless women be heard.
