The man who was accused of sexual assault by singer Kesha Rose Sebert, or Ke$ha, received another win in court on Thursday when an appeals judge ruled he didn’t have to meet a higher standard of review for his defamation claims since he isn’t a household name.
Bloomberg Law reported that the Supreme Court of New York Appellate Division, First Department, ruled that music producer Lukasz Gottwald, known as Dr. Luke, didn’t have to meet a higher bar for defamation because even though he is “an acclaimed producer, he isn’t a household name.” This means Gottwald “isn’t a public figure, or even a limited-purpose public figure, and therefore isn’t required to show that Kesha acted with malice or gross irresponsibility,” Bloomberg reported.
