I think I need to go to the hospital," she said. Then Kesha's phone battery died. Pebe kept calling her daughter until Kesha called back from the hotel's landline. Kesha never went to the hospital.
Kesha told me not to do anything. She said, 'Mom, I just want to sing. I don't want to be a rape-case victim. I just want to get my music out. Less than two months later, according to Pebe, Luke and Max Martin met Kesha and Pebe for lunch at a restaurant in Beverly Hills to discuss who should become Kesha's manager.
Max Martin declined to comment. However, according to Pebe, Luke wanted Kesha to go with his friend, the prominent talent manager Larry Rudolph, who has managed Britney Spears for most of her career. Kesha wound up in tears, Pebe says, after Luke grew frustrated, slammed his fork down and lectured them on his authority over her management.
The two walked out of the restaurant and didn't communicate with Luke again for two years. Kesha signed with Sonenberg and began searching for a record deal. Kesha nearly found one at Warner Bros. DioGuardi tells Billboard that Warner Bros. Soon after, DioGuardi says, "we decided to release her from our agreement. After the failed deal with Warner Bros. She was a little dramatic, but I never knew for sure. What do I do? Kesha, according to a lawsuit Sonenberg would file in , fired Sonenberg in September Sonenberg declined to comment.
She also signed to Dr. Luke's publishing company Prescription Songs, which houses dozens of songwriters and producers. That year, Kesha came into one of Luke's studio sessions with Flo Rida.
The rapper realized he needed a female voice for his new track, which in early became the No. In late or early , Dr. Luke flew with Kesha to New York to shop for a record deal. In the lawsuit, Kesha claims that before a flight to Los Angeles, Luke forced her to snort "an illicit drug" and made sexual advances on her while she was intoxicated on the plane, where she had started drinking.
Luke came over and started making out with her and was all over her," says Pebe. Pebe also claims that Dr.
He refused to let her work on the music, even though he had promised he would. In , she sent emails, which she has shown to Billboard , to Dr. Pebe says he never wrote back. Luke, who was born in Providence, R. He spent his off-nights DJ'ing and working on remixes of his and other artists' music. He has co-written and co-produced more than 30 top 10 Hot hits and 16 No. Luke, according to some of the artists and executives with whom he has worked, was no exception.
One top music manager who has known Luke for more than 20 years, and whose roster includes best-selling pop and rock acts who have worked with him, says, "Luke is a terrible person. No one likes dealing with the guy. He'll do anything to f-- over everyone. This thing with Kesha is a perfect example. He could have let her out of the deal a year ago -- her career was already on its downside -- but he's such an asshole he just wouldn't do it.
Veteran publicist Elizabeth Freund has known Luke who is not her client since he was 11 years old, when she was his sister's camp counselor. He's strong, kind and a loving and utterly good man. Kesha's career exploded in early , when her debut single, "Tik Tok," hit the radio and spent nine consecutive weeks at No. Her debut album, Animal -- a giddy collision of pop, rock, hip-hop and dance music powered by Kesha's outsized party-girl persona -- hit No. Luke's focus on Kesha, says Pebe, only intensified with her success: "This is when Luke started getting really hateful," she says.
She thought all her dreams were finally coming true, but this was just a f--ing trip to hell. Pebe recalls that Luke would comment about how Kesha, who has spoken openly about her battles with bulimia, wasn't fit enough.
On one song, according to Pebe, Luke wanted her to sing a lyric that included the phrase "some fat bitches in the bar. Kesha's lawsuit states that Luke once "physically backed Kesha into a corner, where she was curled up in a ball, crying and fearing for her life.
She climbed up nearby mountains and hid so he wouldn't be able to find her, then, says Pebe, called her manager to come pick her up. With her newfound stardom, Kesha worked a regular job as a waitress and as a songwriter for other artists. There is no correlation between happiness and amounts of money. Early on in her career, Kesha was in a relationship with a man named Harold, who was the love of her life at the time.
But in December , two years after Perez Hilton swore to stop cyber-bullying celebs and unfortunately before revenge porn laws were made mainstream following the celebrity nude photo hackings of , the blogger posted intimate leaked photos of Kesha, which she said destroyed her relationship. She sobbed on the phone to her mom and said in a voice-over that she thought the days of Hilton "torturing" her were behind her — but she was wrong.
The singer later she forced herself to rally, even though she wanted to break down, saying in a voice-over, "This picture leak is awful, but I can't let it hurt my performance. There will always be haters, but it's how you respond that matters I know I have to be strong and not let it get to me, otherwise he wins. In another episode, Kesha lamented via HuffPost , "[Hilton] single-handedly ruined the only relationship that's ever meant anything to me.
My family doesn't have to deal with this. He stands for everything I hate. Everything I'm against. In January , Kesha checked into a rehabilitation center after struggling with an eating disorder , where she stayed for three months. Explaining that her condition was triggered by pressures from the music industry and media, she told Rolling Stone , "I was slowly, slowly starving myself.
The worse I got and the sicker I got, the better a lot of people around me were saying that I looked. They would just be like, 'Oh my gosh, keep doing whatever you're doing! You look so beautiful, so stunning. As for what rehab was really like for this celeb , a nutritionist and therapists taught her to love herself again while receiving treatment at Timberline Knolls outside of Chicago, but it wasn't easy.
It's going to make me fat, and if I'm fat, I can't be a singer because pop stars can't eat food — they can't be fat. The singer later revealed at a SXSW talk that her doctors "were surprised [she] hadn't had a stroke — because [she] hadn't consumed enough" for so long and "almost died.
Kesha sued her longtime producer, Dr. Luke, in October , alleging that he drugged and sexually assaulted her on at least one occasion, according to TMZ. In addition to fearing physical violence from him, she also claimed he was verbally and emotionally abusive during the near-decade they'd worked together, including allegedly bodyshaming her, which further triggered her eating disorder. Luke real name Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald vehemently denied the allegations and countersued Kesha for defamation and breach of contract, accusing her of trying to extort him to get a new record deal.
The two have gone back and forth in court in both California and New York ever since. After adding Sony to her lawsuit in June , alleging that the label turned a blind eye to Dr. Luke's reported abuse, Kesha was denied her request to leave Sony the following February.
She appealed the decision a month later, and claimed in April that Dr. Luke allegedly offered her a settlement and to release her from his label if she recanted her rape allegation — which she refused to do. However, Kesha later dropped her sexual abuse lawsuit against him in order to focus on her music.
In September , Kesha was denied an appeal in her New York countersuit to exit her contract with Dr. Meanwhile, Dr. At the same time, not knowing who her dad was must have been tough emotionally. The thing is, Kesha apparently has some ideas about who her father could really be.
The story starts back when Kesha's mom was a busy artist, touring with acts like the Rolling Stones. Rosemary Patricia Sebert, or Pebe as she goes by, apparently didn't know who her daughter's father was. But fans have long speculated that Kesha's father could be any manner of famous folks, just because her mom was a successful artist who was on the road a lot.
And according to The Famous People , Kesha admitted she had no clue who her real dad was. Still, she suspects that it could possibly be Mick Jagger, of Rolling Stones fame. As fans may know already, Mick Jagger has at least eight children that the public knows of.
