Apr 6 2016 - 2:35pm

Just days after Kesha revealed that she was offered her freedom if she lied [1], news broke that a New York judge rejected her case against Dr. Luke on Wednesday. According to E! News [2], the court argued that Kesha was being "unreasonable" because Sony was "ready, willing and able to approve a producer with whom Kesha can work other than [Dr. Luke]."

As far as the singer's hate crime claims go, the judge rejected those too, stating that although Dr. Luke's actions "were directed to Kesha, who is female, [her claims] do not allege that [Luke] harbored animus toward women or was motivated by gender animus when he allegedly behaved violently toward Kesha." The judge then went on to add that "every rape is not a gender-motivated hate crime." While Kesha has yet to comment on social media, check out our full rundown of everything that's happened so far [3].
