Katy Perry Receives Pushback for Having Dr. Luke Produce 'Woman's World' Song After His Kesha Legal Drama


Katy Perry is getting slammed after Dr. Luke -- once accused of rape by Kesha -- produced her track meant to celebrate womanhood.

Katy Perry is facing mounting criticism for collaborating with Dr. Luke, the producer behind her upcoming girl anthem, "Woman's World," but who was also once sued by Kesha for alleged sexual, physical and emotional abuse. But it's Dr. Luke's involvement in Perry's first album in four years(she previously collaborated with him on 2008's "I Kissed a Girl," among others) that has some fans upset, particularly because of his nearly decade-long legal battle with Kesha. - GettyNevertheless, Dr. Luke's involvement continues to hang a dark cloud over Perry's new anthem meant to celebrate women, at least from many fans' perspectives.
