Kesha Shuts Down Her Body Shamers Once and For All

Kesha is ready to literally flip off the haters. The star recently posted an inspiring photo on Instagram with a message to anyone who would dare to bring her down. 


Kesha defiantly captioned the photo, “I have been battling depression and an eating disorder for a while now. 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. I will not just fucking be quiet and hide.” 

She also took a shot at her body shamers, giving “a big ol fuck u if u wanna hate on my body. just remember that makes u look like a dickhead.”

Kesha received tons of support in the comments section, ranging from expressions of solidarity to revivals of the #freeKesha hashtag. After a rough year, it looks like Kesha is ready to take control and demand the respect she deserves. 

We’re glad to see her standing up to the trolls and sending out such an empowering message. Raise those middle fingers high, Kesha!
