Kesha Suffers Another Legal Setback After Judge's Latest Decision

New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich, who in February denied Kesha her freedom, has her dealt another setback.

The judge has examined Kesha’s allegations accusing Dr. Luke of drugging and raping her in 2005 and committing ongoing abuse.

Kornreich determined that several of Kesha’s discrimination claims aren’t legitimate because of lack of jurisdiction, while other claims don’t add up.

The judge noted that the facts as they have been submitted by Kesha’s team don’t add up to the allegation that the music producer harboured hostility towards women. Kesha was accusing Dr. Luke of breaching "hate crime" laws.

Kesha’s allegation that Luke assaulted her on an airplane and raped her in a hotel before 2008 is the only one Kornreich deemed to fit the criteria, but the claim came after the five-year statute-of-limitations. Therefore “the claim is time-barred.

Kornreich added that her claims can’t be based on abusive remarks and threats made over a ten-year period. Rather, there needs to be physical violence or property damage, claimed The The Hollywood Reporter.

As for a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress, the judge reportedly wrote that “insults about her value as an artist, her looks, and her weight are insufficient to constitute extreme, outrageous conduct intolerable in civilized society.”
