Kesha vill bli fri från kontraktet med sin påstådda förövare. Om tre veckor får hon svar från domaren. Den anklagade Dr Luke nekar. Enligt honom har Kesha och hennes mamma hittat på detta för att få kunna förhandla till sig ett bättre kontrakt.

En dokumentär av Hanna Frelin och Linnea Beijer Producent Carl-Johan Ulvenäs Exekutiv producent Axel Winqvist Tekniker Fredrik Nilsson Programmet är gjort hösten 2020 och görs av Tredje Statsmakten Media.
