To suggest that she probably had a chance during those ten years to stop a bad relationship from devolving further does not mean anyone is holding a flag for the music producer.

And I'm sorry, I see a world of difference between a few weeks and ten years. Sexual abuse is not some magical blindfold that makes one impartial to the passing of time (or mounting physical/psychological damage). I understand that it is true for some people in bad relationships to numb themselves to pain and accept their bad circumstance as fate. That should not be suggested as a blanket for every such case.

It is difficult to comment in an in-depth way when we don't have more solid details of the relationship in question. We are confined to conjecture, really.

Sony is expected to end its contract with producer Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald a year before its expiration, according to The Wrap.

Sony will likely terminate the contract due to the growing public pressures the label is facing amid the producer's legal battle with Kesha. The lawsuit has apparently become "a public relations headache" for the label.
Thoughts as the story develops?

Some good news. Never was a Kesha fan, don't expect I ever will be, but it wasn't right for her to be locked up in a contract like that with someone she could not work with. I expect she'll still be held to her contract with Sony though, which is kinda bittersweet since they didn't seem to care much about her and are only doing something now because it's hurting their image.

There are updates by Dr Luke/his attorneys that the stories about Sony dropping him are untrue, or at least unsubstantiated. Which sounds more realistic to me than Sony unexpectedly dropping him after protecting him throughout this case, with much success to boot.
