The legal saga between Kesha and Dr. Luke — the producer who Kesha has accused of sexual and drug-related abuse — continues, but a New York judge ruled Wednesday to dismiss concurrent lawsuits Dr. Luke brought against Kesha’s mother and manager.

New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich first addressed a lawsuit Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald) brought in October 2014 arguing Pebe Sebert and Jack Rovner, Kesha’s mother and manager, respectively, encouraged Kesha to try to escape her recording contract and helped her organize public defamation efforts surrounding the crimes she alleged against Gottwald. Kornreich granted a motion to dismiss Wednesday, according to documents obtained by EW, on the grounds that the court lacks jurisdiction — but that provides scant relief for the defendants, considering that Gottwald filed a similar lawsuit in Tennessee to prepare for the possibility that a judge would throw out the New York suit.
