In the wake of the Depp-Heard case, we cannot let another woman’s trauma be mocked and meme-ified across the internet.
Defamation lawsuits are filed against individuals or groups for making false statements that harm another party, personally or professionally—but more and more, defamation suits are being weaponized by accused abusers to use against survivors, threatening them with never-ending legal battles or financial ruin. And the increased media spotlight that defamation cases have had in the last year poses a dire threat to all domestic abuse survivors.
In 2014—two years before #MeToo shined a new light on abuse from public figures—Kesha alleged Gottwald sexually, physically and emotionally abused her. She said there were at least two occasions in which he drugged and raped her. Kesha said the distress of working under her abuser caused extreme emotional tolls, including leading her to develop an eating disorder.
Kesha fans deliver a petition to Sony on March 11, 2016, in New York City. They are protesting Sony’s refusal to voluntarily release the singer Kesha from her contract which requires her to make three more albums with producer Dr. Luke, a man she claims sexually assaulted her.
