A New York judge refused to grant the artist injunctive relief against Sony despite allegations of sexual assault by her producer.
It’s hard to be a woman in the music industry. That’s a lesson that gets learned over and over again—including recently, when multiple allegations against publicist Heathcliff Berru from women who’ve worked with him became public. But that story at least had a resolution with accountability—unlike the court ruling today in Kesha’s case against Sony, where the artist sought injunctive relief against the label to void or amend a recording contract that required her to either work with a producer who she says raped her, or to watch her work go unpromoted.
