In a shocking turn of events, Kesha is claiming that she was sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused for 10 years by her producer, Dr. Luke, reports TMZ. The singer/songwriter is striking back -- suing the music man, claiming that she almost died as a result of the years of abuse.

In a new lawsuit, the "Tick Tock" singer alleges that the super producer was abusive to her from when she signed on with him at the age of 18. The 27-year-oid claims that he repeatedly made sexual advances toward her, forcing her to use drugs and alcohol to render her defenseless.

The lawsuit alleges that Dr. Luke forced Kesha to snort something before getting on a plane and then during the trip, he forced himself upon her while she was drugged.

Kesha also alleges he forced her to drink with him, which led to a her waking up naked in Dr. Luke's bed, sore, sick and with no memory of what happened.

Kesha's complaints towards the not-so-good doc are not new. The unruly singer alleged earlier this year that Dr. Luke's emotional abuse is what led to much talked about eating disorder. She claims Dr. Luke said, among other things, "You are not that pretty, you are not that talented, you are just lucky to have me."  She claims he called her "a fat f***ing refrigerator."

This news is the first time we've heard of any physical and sexual abuse.

Kesha's lawyer, Mark Geragos, told the website, "This lawsuit is a wholehearted effort by Kesha to regain control of her music career and her personal freedom after suffering for ten years as a victim of mental manipulation, emotional abuse and an instance of sexual assault at the hands of Dr. Luke." 

Geragos adds, "The facts presented in our lawsuit paint a picture of a man who is controlling and willing to commit horrible acts of abuse in an attempt to intimidate an impressionable, talented, young female artist into submission for his personal gain. Kesha is focused on moving her life and her career beyond this terrible time."
