Bebe Rexha<\/a><\/strong> knows about making an escape. <\/p>\n

The 30-year-old singer-songwriter has been making music since 2010, years before she celebrated breakout fame with hits like “Me, Myself & I” and “Meant to Be.” Along the way, Rexha has faced the darker side of the industry she long worked to break into. <\/p>\n

In a newly released interview with Cosmopolitan UK<\/a><\/em>, the star recalled several uncomfortable experiences with producers and writers she weathered over the years. <\/p>\n

“When I first got to LA, I worked with a very big producer. He put me in a room with lots of other songwriters and engineers who all seemed high [on drugs],” she alleged to the magazine. “One writer walked in and said, ‘Listen\u2014you have no hits, but I have loads, so I’m going to go downstairs and party with my friends and you’re going to write a song, record the vocals and edit it. That will be our song that we wrote together.'”<\/p>\n

According to the article, that experience allegedly took place at Dr. Luke<\/a><\/strong>‘s home, the record producer who has long been in a legal battle<\/a> with fellow star Kesha<\/a><\/strong>stemming from a sexual assault lawsuit<\/a> she filed back in 2014. He has repeatedly<\/a> denied the allegations<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

According to Rexha, Kesha’s mother told her not to work with the producer. <\/p>\n

“I remember being at a dinner party with [Kesha and her mother, Pebe Sebert<\/strong>]. Her mom came up to me and whispered, ‘Don’t do it.’ She was talking about working with Dr. Luke,” she said. “The music industry can be a dark place, and she could have been trying to stop me from getting in her daughter’s way. But I listened and honestly? Trusting her was the best thing I ever did.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The songstress also remembered an unnamed, allegedly handsy producer. “There was a producer who would come into the studio and massage my feet. One time he tried to go above my knees and was getting a little rough, [so] I pulled my feet away,” she described. “He said, ‘Nah, I’m going to do what I want’. But I was raised to never let someone touch my body if I don’t want them to.”<\/p>\n

However,  the producer’s assistant later allegedly called her to tell her he wanted to buy the star a sundress for her to wear without underwear. “He’s really famous,” Rexha told Cosmopolitan UK<\/em>. “My former managers said, ‘Just work with him, you need a hit song.'”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Another recording studio experience spurred her to quietly get “the f–k out of there.”<\/p>\n

“There was one night. I was alone in the studio and a [different] producer had a group of five or six guys with him. I had heard things about him from his past and I just couldn’t take it any more,” she told the magazine. “I felt like I was going to get raped. I quietly called myself a taxi from the recording booth, which was enclosed, and I got the f–k out of there. It was the worst night ever.”<\/p>\n
