Alleging that dr. Luke, as hes known, constantly insult ltd her, harassed her and even sexually assaulted her. Hesdynying the claims and suing her back. But now, come meants kesha made right here on this broadcast could end up having a big impact on the case. Kesha. Known for those pop hits that burn up the charts. Songs that are hard to forget. Like timber. Its going down im yelling timber reporter but yesterday, she was in the spotlight for a far more serious matter. Alleging abuse, emotional, verbal and even sexual, by her longtime producer, dr. Luke. Were asking for him to stop abusing her. Reporter mark geragos is keshas attorney. Theres one incident where shes afraid that hes going to strike her. Reporter dr. Lukes real name is lucas got wall. If you havent heard of him, you have heard his hits. From since you been gone to roar. Hes one of the most successful music producers of our time. But now, in a new lawsuit, keshas making an explosive claim. That he sexually assaulted her. The ghb date rape drug allegation is extremely disturbing. Reporter tell us about that. He has her take a, what he calls a sober pill. Next thing she knows, she wakes up naked in his bed the next day sore and knows that shes been violated. Reporter thats a serious allegation. Why not take it to the police first . A lot of this stuff put her in a situation psychologically where she couldnt face it. Reporter she says that in addition to the sexual abuse, dr. Luke forced her to drink and do drugs. All this, plus constant e motional abuse. He allegedly called her a fat expletive refrigerator. Led her, she says, to develop a potentially fatal eating disorder. Kesha was admitted to rehab earlier this year. Did dr. Luke have anything to do with that . Yeah, dr. Luke in many ways was the cause of her getting to the point where she had to go to rehab. Reporter this is allegedly been going on for ten years. Why file the lawsuit now . Thats whats so kind of ironic about it. The fact that he drove her to the brink of death, the fact that shes had to go through all this therapy has finally taken her to a place where shes Strong Enough to be able to do it. Reporter for almost ten years, since she was just 18, kesha and dr. Luke created dozens of hits together. Like inside we are who we are reporter and theyre still bound by a contract to this day. And that is what dr. Luke says this is all about. A Statement Released by his lawyer says, this is an attempt to extort dr. Luke into releasing kesha from her exclusive recording agreement. His lawyers immediately filed a countersuit for defamation and breach of contract. Dr. Lukes claim is that this is all just an effort to get her out of her contract with him. Any truth to that . Well, get her out of the contract, get her out of a predatory abusive relationship. Reporter but when kesha spoke to Chris Connell loin nightline in 2011, she had nothing but praise, even admiration, for the man who discovered her. He believed in me when nobody else did. Reporter she and her mother were living a much more simple life. Hosting paris hilton and any come ritchie on their reality show. Like to dance . Can you show us . Reporter around this time in 2005, dr. Luke found kesha in nashville, tennessee. Chef was a high school student, trying to break into the entertainment business. She moved out here and she was sort of sleeping on peoples couches and stuff like that. She worked around for, you know, wrote a lot and got it together. Reporter but according to keshas suit, dr. Luke convinced her to drop out of high school, leave her life behind and move to los angeles. And then, she says, he neglected her and her career for years. In what she calls a glaring example, remember the 2009 florida song right round . Well, thats kesha singing. She claims in her lawsuit, she never saw a dime. She was the hook girl on that song. The hook girl dunce always, in fact, mostly doesnt get credit on the song. You spin my head right round you get paid for a day or two of work. Reporter it wasnt until the following year that her career took off with the runaway hit tik tock. The party dont stop the album sold extraordinarily well on the power of that single. And she was an artist who broke off of a hit single. Reporter three years ago, dr. Vited us into his los angeles studio where he and kesha made the music fans cant get enough of. Was the vibe different because she had gotten over as an artist, because she had a hit . In some good ways, yes, like, she seemed to grow into it a little bit more. And, you know, certain kind of experience you get from going through all this, that can make you grow. As a person. Reporter and back then, kesha told nightline that during those long hitmaking sessions, the two became very close. I call him, like, every day about all my problems, honestly. Hes one of my best friends and hes like a brother and boys . Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. He knows about everything. Im not, like, really one to keep my secrets, so, i tell him everything anyways. The claims that she made about 245their close, relation i think, is a doubleedged sword. I think thats going to hurt her claim, because its going to be hard to explain, why would you say all those wonderful things about your rapist . On the other hand, explaining a cycle of abuse to a jury involves how, very often, victims cover for their rapist. Reporter the question now . Will any other stars who worked with dr. Luke claim they were victims, too . Dr. Luke has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. Kelly clarkson, britney spears, katy perry. Are they going to come forward and support kesha in this lawsuit . Well, they certainly havent come forward and support dr. Luke, have they . I havent seen, in fact, its been quite the opposite. Reporter now a jury may have to determine as their song says we are who we are reporter whether kesha and dr. Luke really are who they say they are. Next, a group of hard core biker dudes competing in a race that puts the Tour De France to shame. And later on nightline, tory burch made flats fancy. Now everyone from Anne Hathaway to Kerry Washington is sporting her designs. Oh, and shes a billionaire. Im angela, and moking with chantix.

Female announcer its a great big world and it can all be yours. Here and only here. Come and get it. Youre about to meet a group of adrenaline junky bikers so hard core, they make the Tour De France look like a practice run. On this race, theres no course, just chaotic streets and nerves of steel. Abcs Mariana Van Zeller went along for a hairraising ride. Reporter were in mexico city, riding in one of the craziest bike races youve ever seen. Theres few rules here. No set race course. And certainly no officials closing down the streets. Making cars and pedestrians fair game. Dubbed alley cats, these illegal races are the invention of bike mes sjengers. Nightline got a special invitation to go inside this punk rock Tour De France. To see what compels these guys to risk life and limb for mere bragging rights. Getting onto a motorbike right now. What do you think of this guy . Loco. Reporter look at him. Look at him. Meet lucas, the king of the alley cats. Who, with his homemade helmet cam in towel has been traveling around the world, filming these races for more than a decade. He asked to be interviews where hes most comfortable. Yeah, this is great. Its like really comfortable. Reporter what happened there . Well, just avoiding potholes. Its mexico. Reporter lucas once competed in organized bike racing. The type that occurs on closed courses without speeding traffic or blown red lights. But always the rebel, he felt constrained by the rules. He quit. And soon fell in love with the alley cat race. Huh does it feel to be so close to danger all the time . Feels good. You know, im familiar with danger. You have a buzz with your mind, saying, you know, im not totally in control of whats going on right now. Reporter on race day, we meet up with lucas and some of the other top riders. Bit nervous. Reporter chris from new york city, considered one of the fastest in the world. And pancho, one of the best mexico city riders. Ready . Think so. Reporter hes not nervous. Im nervous for him. He says im getting him nervous just by talking like this. We are starting very soon. Reporter organized to mimic a day of delivers packages, the race is made up of a series of checkpoints scattered throughout the city. Racing in teams of two, riders much check in at each location before heading to the finish. Woo reporter this is some crazy stuff. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Even though were on bikes, it is almost impossible to keep up with these guys. And some of the maneuvers were doing here are, like, crazy dangerous. Oh, my god. In 2008, an alley cat rider in chicago ran a red light and was struck and killed by an suv. Its the only known death attributed to an alley cat. People watching the video might say, my god, these guys are on the verge of killing somebody or whatever, but its just the opposite. 99. 9 of accidents are not caused bid us. Reporter i totally get your point. There is the idea, though, that theres not a lot of respect for traffic. Incidents are rare. But as far as breaking laws, i mean, thats like every 30 seconds, you know, or less, i mean reporter thats what you guys do. Get off use your head. Reporter back in the race, the riders are finding the checkpoints as they go. Their race directions are stamped at each stop to prove that they were there. But even finding the checkpoints is an immense challenge in this crowded city. Chris, lucas and poncho are lost. They end up in this sprawling marketplace. Finally, we catch up with lucas and the other riders, but our path is suddenly blocked by a massive highway. Lucas just hops off his bike and playing crossing guard, holding his hand out while well scurry across six lanes of traffic. Chris and krponcho arrive at on of the checkpoints. They do not complete a task. They were supposed to take a cell phone photo with their teammate. Ay, yi, yi. Reporter its now a mad dash to the finish. Usa versus mexico. With his legs spent, poncho eagerly hops a ride. This puts chris just out of reach. Poncho beats chris and lucas to the finish. But it doesnt even matter, as chris finds out hes been disqualified. This is why i asked in the beginning in english what the rules are, you told me something different. [ bleep ] idiots. Reporter how was it . It was intense. Reporter it was a crazy rush for us just to be following on motorbikes. I understand why you guys like doing this, crazy adrenaline. At the beginning, it was really dicey, but going through the market, that was crazy. And then going on the back roads, like, just real mexico. Reporter except for some bumps, bruises and flat tires, these alley caters have survived to race another day. For nightline, im Mariana Van Zeller in mexico city.
