The music producer accused of abusing and fat-shaming pop star Kesha says it was the singers family and handlers who wanted to keep her off junk food, according to court papers.
After Keshas camp released emails last week from producer Dr. Luke criticizing her for breaking her "diet plan" by drinking a Diet Coke, Luke countered that the whole weight-loss initiative was her idea.
"Kesha and her managers know full well that they are mischaracterizing this conduct as 'abuse' because Kesha, her managers, and others in Keshas life, frequently discussed her weight and dieting practices and not in the most flattering of terms," Luke said in a reply filed in court Tuesday.
At issue are dueling lawsuits between Kesha, 29, and Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, over Keshas contract with Luke and allegations that the producer raped and drugged her.

Luke also denied claims he threatened Kesha to get her to sing particular lyrics for the song Crazy Kids.
But Luke says he asked a prominent third-party writer to provide alternative lyrics specifically to address Keshas concerns.
