Kelly Clarkson: 'I was blackmailed into working with Dr. Luke'

Songstress Kelly Clarkson has revealed that she has previously clashed with producer Dr. Luke and doesn't think he's a 'good person' at all. 

Pop star Kesha recently went to court to try and emancipate herself from a contract with Dr. Luke, who she claimed drugged and raped her, but a New York judge refused the motion. Following this, Clarkson posted a message on Twitter to show her support for Kesha, which read: "Trying 2 not say anything since I can't say anything nice about a person... so this is me not talking about Dr. Luke (sic)."

The 'Piece By Piece' hitmaker has now told the Kyle and Jackie O Show that the producer is "demeaning" and "hard to work with", which is why she posted the above tweet:

"He's not a good person to me. We've clashed. But I can't really say anything other than that. I wasn't there (with Kesha). I don't know what happened specifically in their situation. Obviously I wasn't in the room. But I can remark on his character."

"Unfortunately when you have that poor of character, like so many artists don't like you and don't like working with you, that's not normal. I get along with everybody I work with. Obviously, he's a talented dude... He's just not a good guy."

"I've run into a couple of really bad situations, musically. It's really hard for me because he'll just lie to people, and it makes the artist look bad. He's kind of difficult to work with and kind of demeaning. It's kind of unfortunate."

She added: "People are like, 'Oh you've worked with Max (Martin) and Luke,' but Max and Luke are very different. I only worked with him because literally, I got blackmailed by my label. They were like, 'We will not put your album out if you don't do this.' It was a really hard time for me. And I tried to make the best of the situation."
