“In an explosive Instagram post Sunday, Kesha revealed that she was "offered [her] freedom" – most likely the nullification of her contract with Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald – if she rescinded her rape accusations against the producer.
"So. I got offered my freedom IF I were to lie," Kesha wrote in the caption of a selfie. "I would have to APOLOGIZE publicly and say that I never got raped. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS behind closed doors. I will not take back the TRUTH. I would rather let the truth ruin my career than lie for a monster ever again."
A source close to the case tells Rolling Stone that, during a dialogue between the singer and Gottwald's legal teams "a couple months ago," the aforementioned option toward terminating her contract was given to the singer. It's unclear, however, whether that option occurred during formal settlement talks between the two parties or if the idea was simply proposed to Kesha's team.”
