Top 10 Celebrity Legal Battles of 2016
With great fame comes great...er chances of being sued. Nobody knows this fact better than celebrities, and 2016 was no different. This past year we saw some of our most beloved stars entangled in celebrity court battles ranging from the bizarre to the just plain wrong. For the sake of nostalgia, here are our picks for the top celebrity legal battles of 2016!
Kesha spent most of 2016 entangled in a bitter legal battle with her producer and alleged rapist, Dr. Luke. The hashtag #FreeKesha began trending after the “Tik Tok” singer said that her producer had not only restricted her music and lyrics, but verbally, physically and sexually abused her, resulting in a stay at a rehab facility.
After suffering several court blows, Kesha eventually dropped her California lawsuit in August in order to focus on releasing new music. However, she will continue to pursue appeals in New York, where a judge dismissed her sexual abuse claims against Dr. Luke in April.
