My best guesses:
- She is/was getting seriously abused and screwed over by Dr. Luke and Sony. Emotionally, financially, even physically (by suggesting/coercing drug use).
- That said, I'm not sure she was sexually assaulted, and that's a big deal here.
She was angry, distraught and hurt, and reasonably so by all accounts, and she was willing to do anything to get out of the situation, and (my guess) her mother came up with this idea. I think she was completely and totally wronged, and I think Dr. Luke is extremely shady at best and a monster at worst. I think he probably justified a lot of it with "This is just how the industry works!" But I'm not sure that he SEXUALLY assaulted her, which is kind of the crux of the whole thing.
