Normally I would feel sympathy for someone who’s been piled on like this - but she lost any sympathy I ever had for her by willingly choosing to go back to Dr Luke. She deserves all of this flack 100%.

Obviously she wanted a hit after her last 2 albums didn’t do well commercially. She calculated it would be safe given Dr Luke has had some recent hits. But she mis calculated. The empty feminism of her new song is incongruent with working with an alleged rapist.

1) Doja and Kim Petras do not necessarily appeal to the same fanbases as Katy. Just because their fans let it slide doesn’t mean the fans of Katy / general pop wouldn’t let it slide without calling it out.

2) there’s an argument to be made (whether you agree or disagree) that Doja/Kim are in contracts with Luke so they’re culpability is somewhat in question because of it. Not to mention Katy is more famous and the bigger star. Katy has more status and power and control of her own career at this point and had 0 legal binding to continue working with him. She just didn’t care about anything else than getting a “hit” so…

didn't kim go out of her way to defend dr luke?

[pciam]

I wouldn’t be surprised tbh

Yeah, I remember she said something along that line

Edit: Petras told NME she had “a really good experience” working with Luke and would “totally” do it again, adding, “I would like my fans to know I wouldn’t work with somebody I believe to be an abuser of women.” She later tweeted that her positive experience with Luke “does not negate or dismiss the experiences of others or suggest that multiple perspectives cannot exist at once.”

... so basically she semi backtracked

You won't find sense in this nonsense

More like her publicist intervened.

[willardwright]

Nah, Kim is trash, she said that she wouldn't work with him if she thought he was an abuser - so basically called Kesha a liar.

[pciam]

Good to know! That does make Kim trash!

To be fair to Doja, she signed with dr Luke when she was like 15 and it was before Kesha came out with the info he had raped her. And she’s also been pretty publicly critical of him as a producer too. When her contract is up I am interested to see what she does and where she goes
