UPDATE: On Friday morning, a New York Supreme Court Friday judge denied Kesha's request for a preliminary injunction, which would temporarily nullified her contract with Sony Records and Dr. Luke, the man she says raped her when she was 18.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich ruled in favor of keeping the contract valid, explaining that Sony would suffer irreparable harm if Kesha didn't abide by the contract which states that she is obligated to make six more albums with the record company.


Kesha flew into out of LAX on Thursday, the day before her New York court hearing in her ongoing lawsuit against super producer Dr. Luke. For her flight from the City of Angels to the Big Apple, a curly haired Kesha donned a plaid miniskirt, white blouse and beige capelet. Clearly, Kesha has been keeping herself in fine form as she's been gearing up for Friday's court date.

On Thursday, Kesha posted on Instagram, "I have nothing left to hide. I did this because the truth was eating away my soul and killing me from the inside. this is not just for me. this is for every woman, every human who has ever been abused. sexually. emotionally. mentally. I had to tell the truth. so the outcome will be what it will be. there's nothing left I can do. it's just so scary to have zero control in your fate. but this is my path this life for whatever reason.... #Friday."

In 2014, the big-voiced singer filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke, claiming that he'd sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused her for a decade.

The 42-year-old then filed a countersuit in which he claimed Kesha and her mother Pebe Sebert were attempting to extort him in order for Kesha to be released from her long-term recording contract and to give her publishing rights to her music.

Earlier this month, Kesha got some good news when New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich granted a motion to dismiss Luke's claims against Pebe because there was no jurisdiction over her. Dr. Luke also filed a similar suit against Pebe in Tennessee, and that is still active.

The judge also dismissed Dr. Luke's claim that Kesha's manager Jack Rovner had interfered in his business relationship with Kesha. The judge determined that his actions were in the scope of his authority since he was her manager.
