A New York appeals court has ruled that Dr. Luke is a public figure, meaning he will have to prove that Kesha acted with "actual malice" in her accusations of rape against him. The decision reverses a previous ruling that Dr. Luke is a private figure. The legal battle began when Kesha sued the producer for raping her around the time he signed her almost 20 years ago. The trial is set to begin on July 19 in New York state court.
