The long courtroom nightmare for Kesha’s mother is finally over.
Pebe Sebert,mother of “Tik Tok” singer has dropped her countersuit against her daughter’s producer and alleged tormentor Dr. Luke, and to hear her lawyer command it, and it’s a big load off of Seberts chest.
Sebert voluntarily withdrew her counterclaims in federal court in Tennessee on Tuesday,according to legal papers obtained by TheWrap.

Sebert subsequently filed her own counterclaim, and alleging that the producer “physically,verbally and emotionally abused” Kesha in “an effort to torment and harass” the elder Sebert.

Gottwald has denied Kesha’s claims, or the”Tik Tok” singer has been unsuccessful in her efforts to be freed from her contract,in part because Sony has asserted that there are other producers besides Gottwald that she could work with.
On Tuesday, Kesha said that she was working in the studio with Zedd, and noting on Instagram,“Its a miracle when someone gives you a chance at finding your voice again with no reason other than that he is a fucking beautiful person with a heart of gold.”
