Kesha's lawyers filed a notice of appeal on Monday to attempt to overturn Judge Shirley Kornreich's February decision to deny the singer an injunction on her recording contract, effectively keeping her in contract with Sony and several of the company's imprints associated with producer Dr. Luke, whom Kesha has accused of drugging and sexually assaulting her. Dr. Luke has denied any wrongdoing in the case, calling the singer's claims "outright lies."
In a pre-argument statement obtained by ET, Kesha's lawyer, Mark Geragos, stated that the singer is seeking a reversal of the decision based on three main points, the first being that "the Court erred in basing its decision on its finding that Kesha could record without interference from Gottwald."
"Although it recognized that 'slavery was done away with a long time ago' and that 'you can't force someone to work . . . in a situation in which they don't want to work,' the Court's ruling requiring Kesha to work for Gottwald's companies, purportedly without his involvement, does just that," the statement read. "As the Court itself recognized, 'It's slavery. You can't do that.'"
