The music producer complains he's been subjected to a "trial by Twitter."
The music producer that pop star Kesha claims raped her is breaking his silence.
Dr. Luke tweeted that he did not rape her nor did he have sex with her.
In a lengthy series of tweets, Dr. Luke said:
I didn’t rape Kesha and I have never had sex with her. Kesha and I were friends for many years and she was like my little sister.

I have 3 sisters, a daughter, and a son with my girlfriend, and a feminist mom who raised me right.

Kesha and I made a lot of songs together and it was often good but there were creative differences at times.

It’s sad that she would turn a contract negotiation into something so horrendous and untrue.

But I feel confident when this is over the lies will be exposed and the truth will prevail..

Kesha has been getting big name support including Taylor Swift who donated $250,000 to help the singer with her legal bills.

After Swift’s donation was revealed, Lovato tweeted:
Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I'll be impressed.

Lovato took the “Bad Blood" singer to task on a Swift fan site where she wrote: “At least I'm talking about it. Not everyone has 250k to just give to people. Would love to but I didn't grow up with money and def haven't made as much as her. At least I speak up about sh** that's uncomfortable to talk about rather than trying to be politically correct 24/7."
But Lovato says there's "no rivalry" between the two. The "Skyscraper" singer also posted:
As for Dr. Luke, he's refusing to get involved in a "trial by Twitter" after some of music's biggest names have come out in support of the 28-year-old singer.
Writing on the website Lenny Letter, Lena Dunham penned an essay called “Why Kesha’s Case is About More Than Kesha,” the actress said: “When I saw the outcome of Kesha’s court case last Friday, I felt sick.”
Lady Gaga tweeted:
There are people all over the world who love you @KeshaRose. And I can say truly I am in awe of your bravery.

It's a rich display of girl power at a time when one embattled pop star could use it.
