Kesha was delivered a huge blow Wednesday by a New York judge who dismissed nearly all of the singer's counterclaims in her ongoing lawsuit against Dr. Luke.
The star previously accused the producer of drugging, raping and abusing her during her career. The hitmaker, in turn, has vehemently denied the allegations and countersued for breach of contract and defamation.
On Wednesday, New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich cited lack of jurisdiction and failure to procure facts proving the allegations when tossing out the majority of Kesha's counter claims.
The pop star's claims invoking human rights laws were dismissed ? alleging the plaintiffs "discriminated against [her] based on her gender" ? were dismissed because "Kesha failed to plead that any of the alleged discrimination occurred in New York State or City ... the court has no jurisdiction over" the claims, the judge wrote.
As for the civil rights, or "hate crime," laws, the singer had to prove Dr. Luke "harbored animus towards women or was motivated by gender animus when he allegedly behaved violently toward Kesha," the judge stated in court documents obtained by PEOPLE. "Every rape is not a gender-motivated hate crime."
According to Justice Kornreich, the only allegations Kesha made that meets the elements of "physical violence or property damage" were claims that Luke assaulted her on an airplane and raped her in his hotel room. But "the claim is time-barred," writes Kornreich.
The singer's claim of "intentional infliction of emotional distress" was also dismissed because the judge believes her allegations "do not meet the strict pleading standard. Her claims of insults about her value as an artist, her looks, and her weight are insufficient to constitute extreme, outrageous conduct intolerable in civilized society," Kornreich wrote, adding the instances that would constitute as intentional were "time-barred."
Aside from throwing out her claims, the judge also denied Kesha's request to make amendments. "Kesha's request for leave to amend the CCs is denied because there is nothing in the record from which the court can determine whether the amendment would be meritorious," state the papers.
However, the judge wrote the lawsuit regarding Kesha's recording contracts will continue.
Reps for Kesha and Dr. Luke are not commenting at this time.
she's a dangerous liar;
I honestly don't know which side to believe.
But the allegations are true I feel bad for her.
i actually feel bad for him...
she's ruining his reputation and his life with this.
I didnt believe her in the first place.
King Luke didnt touch that girl.
Oh dear. Such an odd case, I don't know who to believe tbh.
I do believe he called her a fckn refrigerator tho.
He raped this bitch
I think they had a sexual relationship that turned into him thinking he had some sort of ownership over her that went beyond her music career, and now she's screaming rape to get out of a slave contract.

i mean him being as old as he is he should know better .. if he would admit to them having a sexual relationship with her but it was never rape it would be more believable but he is denying it all that i DONT believe
I think thy had a consensual sexual relationship and Kesha somewhere along the line, wanted owt & Luke didn't.
I don't think he raped her tbh but who am I to judge

Praying
Kelly Clarkson didn't want to work with him on All I Ever Wanted but RCA forced her to work with him. I believe he did rape Kesha. The industry can be very sleazy especially when most producers are male.
i hate young mjnbhjvjhb i spat out my drank at "praying" jhbjngv fuckin faggot :dead:
Sbbddbdbdbdbfbfbfbfbfffffffffff
Yeah he definitely raped that girl.
The Judge never said it didn't happen. She just said Kesha didn't have proof it happened in the State or City of New York. There has to be proof beyond a reasonable doubt to prosecute. I wish they made that clear for the dummies who only read a headline and not the full article.

Right.
I feel bad for Kesha if it's true but in this day and age there is no excuse not to have SOMETHING. She didn't have any texts? Emails? Screenshots? audio recording? video footage?
This isn't the stone age. Put that smartphone to USE
:nowgorl:
I believe her
😓😥
