The Dr. Luke versus Kesha lawsuit saga just took another twist on Wednesday.
According to TMZ, songwriter Pebe Sebert, Kesha’s mother, is suing the producer, claiming she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder that occured as a result of Dr. Luke raping her daughter n a way “as not to be tolerated in a civilized society.”
Pebe is largely restating the claims Kesha has made — that Dr. Luke gave her a date rape drug and raped her. But she also adds new detail, claiming Luke would brag about taking girls out on a first date, get them drunk and then “f*** them in the ass.”
Pebe also claims Luke dealt drugs to entertainers — which she says is how he acquired the name “Dr.” — during his 10-year run as a guitarist on “SNL.”
The action is a countersuit, filed in response to a lawsuit Dr. Luke filed, alleging Sebert was using the rape claim to get her daughter out of a recording contract. Sebert’s lawsuit also claims her blood pressure spiked and she became so upset dealing with the incident she would get hysterical and need to be medicated.
This whole story is awful and it only seems to prove that fame and the world of young pop stars has got to be so crappy at times.

“Here’s the thing. You make the same mistake over and over again until you learn your lesson. We girls sometimes do the thing where we pick the same person over and over again — they look and seem different, but deep down, they’re the same. And that’s on us.”
Oh, GIRL, I hear you.
