Kesha’s Rape Allegations Echo at Lady Gaga’s Oscar Rehearsal
Quote:
Diane Warren had just gotten home from watching Lady Gaga rehearse with a full orchestra for her Oscar night performance. Gaga will sing “Til It Happens to You,” the song she and Warren wrote about rape, nominated for Best Song.
In the corridors and changing rooms behind the stage, people were whispering about Kesha — whose rape accusation against producer Dr. Luke is sending ripples through the music world and has led to a standoff in court with her erstwhile label at Sony, which is holding her to a recording contract.
Quote:
...The sordid saga of Bill Cosby, and coincidentally the Oscar-nominated song – which draws on experiences of sexual assault experienced by both Gaga and Warren – makes Kesha’s saga just the latest candid, public discussion of rape.

I hope there is a Kesha backdrop or something in the performance, to make this even bigger and force Sony to do something
This song is dedicated to women being sexually assaulted on college campuses. Kesha is getting enough press as it is – these incidents on campuses need as much airtime as they can get.
