New York | Taylor Swift is giving some financial assistance to Ke$ha as she fights to get out of a contract with a record producer she has accused of sexually assaulting her. A representative for Swift confirmed Sunday that Swift had donated $250,000 to Ke$ha in a “show of support” to help her in her legal fight against megahit producer Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald. The “Tik Tok” singer sobbed in court Friday as a judge denied her bid to get out of her contract with Dr. Luke, who has worked with artists including Britney Spears and Katy Perry. Luke has denied Ke$ha’s allegations, and his lawyers reiterated his views in a statement Monday. Attorney Christine Lepera called Ke$ha’s accusations “outright lies that have been advanced to extort a contract renegotiation and money.” While Friday’s court decision is not the final judgment in the case, the ruling has led to an outpouring of support for Ke$ha on social media from other celebrities like Kelly Clarkson.
