Kesha has amended her lawsuit against Dr. Luke to include Sony Music Entertainment
Kesha has amended her lawsuit against Dr. Luke to include Sony Music Entertainment, accusing the company of putting female artists in ‘physical danger’ by having them work with the producer.
The Tik Tok hitmaker previously filed legal documents seeking to have her contract with the producer dissolved after accusing him of sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abusing her for almost a decade and submitted an amendment to the case earlier this week in which she alleges the company supported the 41-year-old musician's behaviour.
Court documents state: “Dr. Luke’s proclivity for abusive conduct was open and obvious to Sony Music Entertainment executives, who either knew of the conduct and turned a blind eye and concealed Dr. Luke's abuse.”
“SME’s conduct placed Jane Doe female artists, including Kesha, in physical danger by giving Dr. Luke full creative and business control over young female artists who were compelled to become dependent ,” the document added. —contactmusic.com
50 Shades writers unhappy
According to the screenwriter of 50 Shades of Grey Kelly Marcel, promises made to her by the studio and producers were ‘utter bullshit.’
The film adaptation of author EL James’ sexy bestseller was a huge hit.
However, the film's production was notoriously fraught with tension, and the experience was not at all what Marcel expected.
“I wanted to do something different with the screenplay, and when I spoke to the studio and the producers and made that quite clear, they were very enthusiastic about that and loved the things I wanted to do," Marcel said. —hollywoodreporter.com
Chimps know what's right
Chimpanzees are capable of metacognition, or thinking about one’s own thinking, and can adjust their behavior accordingly, researchers at Georgia State University, Agnes Scott College, Wofford College and the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York have discovered.
Their findings suggest chimpanzees share with humans the capacity for metacognitive monitoring.
Metacognition occurs when individuals monitor what they know and don't know, when they seek information they need to know and when they respond to a question. —sciencedaily.com
