"Dr. Luke has been tyrannical and abusive since our relationship began," Kesha, who's *represented by the high-profile attorney Mark Geragos, stated in an affidavit from September 2015. "I was too young and naive to even *understand what he was doing to me."

"Kesha's allowed to work with another producer," Pebe *(pronounced pee-bee) explains (and Sony *confirms). "But Luke gets to approve them. He gets to approve of anyone she works with. He has final say over everything."

Meanwhile, the support for Kesha has created a PR nightmare for Sony, which maintains that it cannot interfere with Kesha and Luke's contract. A Sony representative tells Billboard, "We have done everything we could to resolve this." Additionally, Luke's attorney denied -- and Sony would not comment on -- a March 9 The Wrap report stating that the company plans to end their relationship with Luke ahead of the expiration of their contract next year.

Full interview at source, where Pebe goes into detail on what exactly happened to Kesha.

It's too long to copy and paste.

A Sony representative tells Billboard that, following an internal investigation, they found no evidence to support Kesha's allegations of sexual abuse.

On Oct. 5, 2005, Kesha and Dr. Luke attended a birthday party for Nicky Hilton at her sister Paris' Hollywood Hills mansion. Kesha was drinking. According to Kesha's 2014 lawsuit, Luke raped her after giving her what he called "sober pills": GHB, a drug commonly used in sexual assaults. This, the suit alleges, is what allowed him to "bring [her] back to his hotel room alone and rape her while she was unconscious." The documents don't specify a date, but according to Pebe, Luke drugged her at the Hiltons' party and took her back to his hotel that night. An eyewitness at the party confirms to Billboard that both Luke and Kesha were there (although the source says, "I didn't see anything weird" between the two of them). By midafternoon the day after the party, Pebe had grown concerned after calling Kesha multiple times and getting no response. (On an average day, Pebe says, the two spoke by phone every six to eight hours.) Finally, her mother maintains, Kesha returned her call, saying she had woken up naked in what she believed was Dr. Luke's hotel room. "Mom, I don't know where I am. I think we had sex. I'm sore and sick. I don't know where my clothes are. 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. Pebe says that a friend of Kesha's picked Kesha up and drove her back to her apartment. (Kesha never went to the hospital.) "At some point over the following few days I called my best friend and pored over the details," Kesha recalls in the 2015 affidavit. "I had only had a few drinks but after I had taken this 'sober pill' I blacked out." Says Pebe: "Looking back, I don't know why we didn't go to the police. 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.' I didn't follow my instincts."

A former Jive executive says Luke "has a massive ego" and is known to be "difficult" to work with. 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. He's very talented, obviously -- he's a guitar player interested in pop beats -- but he's diabolical. 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. "There's not one speck of doubt in my mind that he didn't commit these allegations," she says of Luke, who has a girlfriend and two young children. "He's a loving father and an incredibly generous family member. I've seen really good relationships with the people he has worked with for years. He's strong, kind and a loving and utterly good man."

Kesha says in the 2015 affidavit. "He encouraged me to not eat -- even when I was eight days with no solid food and skipping meals to work out two times a day." On one song, according to Pebe, Luke wanted her to sing a lyric that included the phrase "some fat bitches in the bar." "She would never say something like that -- not in a million years," says a collaborator of Kesha's who heard about the incident from her. "There's no way Kesha would ever want to degrade a certain body type in a song."

(Swift and Kesha later spoke directly.)

Pebe makes me feel indifferent. She needs to get out.
