We love Kesha exactly as she is.
But especially when she unapologetically takes a stand against internet misogyny with a flair only fitting pop music's badass glitter queen.
After one commenter felt compelled to criticize the singer's appearance on social media, Kesha dragged him out of the cesspool of anonymous trolls to personally inform the user that he can kiss her "magical imperfect ass."
"I see that you would very much like me to know that you think I'm ugly, and also a 'whore'. well, I understand that that is your opinion, but I disagree," she wrote. "I'm not perfect but I'm pretty fucking magical. and also, I am not, in fact, a whore. also bullying someone who has struggled publicly with body issues is pretty mean. thank god I'm in a place in my life where I feel empowered to address your nasty comments instead of letting them destroy me. so. on behalf of anyone anywhere who struggles with body image, STOP IT. my body is not your business. ✨in conclusion, kiss my magical imperfect ass 💋❤️✌🏼️💅."
The caption was written under a photo of Kesha bending over in a blue bikini and delivering exactly what she promised.
In 2014, Kesha checked herself into rehab to treat a severe eating disorder, which her mother, Pebe Sebert, revealed almost killed her.
Sebert blames DJ/producer Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald for her daughter's eating disorder. She also told People magazine that Gottwald once likened Kesha to a “refrigerator” and told her to keep her weight from fluctuating, a claim Gottwald’s rep denied. (Kesha is currently in a legal battle with Gottwald, whom she accuses of sexual assault and battery, which he denies.)
Despite the negativity, the "We R Who We R" singer has been riding the self-love wave of late, posting body-positive messages on social media.
"I have been battling depression and an eating disorder for a while now," she captioned a photo of herself in May. "My career is in a strange place and it feels like I'm fighting an uphill fight some days. but I have decided to take my life back. my freedom. my happiness. my voice. my worth."
Reminder: Kesha is NOT the one to come for. Nope. Don't even try it.
