Kelly Clarkson is speaking out about music producer Dr. Luke – the same man Kesha claims physically, sexually & mentally abused her. After a judge told Kesha she would have to fulfill her recording contract obligations with her label, Kelly Clarkson wrote on Twitter:
 “Trying 2 not say anything since I can’t say anything nice about a person … so this is me not talking about Dr. Luke” 

Now, she’s saying more, but not commenting specifically on Kesha’s case, just her own experiences with Dr. Luke.

She starts off by saying, “I’ll be honest about the guy, but I don’t know about that situation”

.

Former American Idol winner and current expecting mother, Clarkson says she and Dr. Luke “clashed” and to her, Dr. Luke is “not a good person”

Clarkson says, Kesha’s fans have been demanding to know, “why don’t you defend her?” and her response, “I wasn’t there”. Meanwhile, In a Monday interview with Los Angeles’ AMP Radio 97.1, Lady Gaga declared that Kesha is being “publicly shamed” for accusing producer Dr. Luke of sexually assaulting her. “I just want to stand by her side because I can’t watch another woman that went through what I’ve been through suffer, you know?” Gaga explained, referring to her own experience being sexually assaulted. “And have everyone have a go at her as if, you know, she’s lying.” Gaga also shared that she and Kesha have been talking on a daily basis and that it’s been “really devastating to witness” the legal system prevent the singer from breaking her contract with Dr. Luke.

Kelly points out that she’s not the only artist whose not too fond of the infamous Dr. Luke, writing: “When so many artists don’t like you, that says something”

She says:

“Unfortunately, when you have that poor of character – so many artists don’t like you and don’t like working with you – that’s not normal. I get along with everyone I work with, but he’s just not a good guy for me. Obviously, he’s a talented dude. He just lied a lot. I’ve run into a couple of really bad situations. Musically, it’s been really hard for me because he will just lie to people. And it’s like, ‘What?’ And it makes the artist look bad. He’s kind of difficult to work with; kind of demeaning.”

Kelly Clarkson says the only reason she worked with Dr. Luke was “because literally I got blackmailed by my label. They were like, ‘We will not put your album out if you don’t do this.'”

Clarkson worked with Sony Music and Dr. Luke on her hit and his first huge success, “Since U Been Gone”. He also helped write Clarkson’s single “Behind These Hazel Eyes” and “My Life Would Suck Without You”.

Meanwhile, Kesha recently gave a heartfelt acceptance speech saying, “don’t be afraid to speak up against any injustice you experience. Don’t let people scare or shame you into changing the things about you that make you unique”. The Human Rights Campaign Nashville awarded Kesha with the Visibility Award, recognizing the singer’s stance in speaking out against bullying of LGBT youth.

Kesha continued saying, “As many of you know I am going through some personal things that have been really intense and hard lately and I just want to say thank you for the support I have received,”
