Since last night, the hashtag #FreedomForKesha has been trending worldwide, and some people are curious as to why exactly that happened.

Yes, I'm obviously talking about Kesha (that's what the post is titled and that's why you clicked lol)... BUT SERIOUSLY, our lack of Kesha is problematic.

​Kesha has not released any new music since 2012.

Although at the time aside from the single Die Young, her album didn’t appear to make much of an impact in the first place. This was largely viewed as a result of her working with producer Dr. Luke.

Fans even set up a petition that aimed to release the singer from her contract with the producer as he was holding her back creatively. That year Kesha told Rolling Stone:

“What’s been put out as singles have just perpetuated a particular image that may or may not be entirely accurate.”

Two years later Kesha went to a rehab facility in order to recover from an eating disorder. Her mother later revealed on Twitter that her daughter was suffering from bulimia and Dr Luke was part of the problem.

In October 2014, Kesha filed a law suit against the producer in order to be released from her contract with him. The suit also alleged that she suffered “mental manipulation, emotional abuse and sexual assault” while working with Dr Luke.

He claimed she was trying to extort him and since then Kesha has been stuck in a legal battle unable to release any music. Court documents released this week had her attorneys saying that she is facing a “point of no return.”

 

Since then her fans have taken over social media in efforts to show their solidarity with Kesha.

Dr. Luke’s spokesperson said:

“As long as she continues to stand by her false claims of abuse against Dr. Luke and remains in breach of her contracts, he will continue to protect his professional and personal reputation.”

Despite selling an estimated 60million albums globally, she has struggled with body insecurities since finding fame at the age of 21.

Indeed, it's an issue she's been refreshingly open about.

However, appearing yesterday at the Los Angeles Pride, Kesha sparked waves of 'did she/didn't she' surgery rumours – namely because of the shapely derriere she sported.

Wearing a skin-tight, glittering leotard for the performance, she teamed the outfit with knee-high black patent leather boots.

Previously, images of the singer show her with a noticeably different shape – though she has yet to confirm or deny the speculation. 

Kesha was admitted to a rehab facility in January of last year for treatment of an eating disorder. 

The 28-year-old has said that the music industry sets "unrealistic expectations for what a body is supposed to look like".

She added: "I felt like people were always lurking, trying to take pictures of me with the intention of putting them up online or printing them in magazines and making me look terrible."

And in a 2013 interview with Self magazine, in which she stated that she doesn't have "a perfect body," she further explained: 'For me, I like showing off my legs because I work really hard on them.

"So you will rarely find me wearing pants."

However, she admitted that she refuses to weigh herself: "I stay far away from a scale because it's not about a number, it's about how I feel. I try to eat healthy because it makes me feel good."

The LA-native also filed a sexual assault civil suit against music producer Dr Luke, someone she once cited as a mentor, in October.

It is alleged that in the past Dr Luke had drugged her and forced himself on her, threatened to take away her publishing rights and constantly belittled her appearance.

The case is ongoing.

Kesha is suing her former producer over a number of serious allegations.

The singer is taking a case against her mentor, known as Dr. Luke, for charges of sexual assault, sexual harassment, gender violence, civil harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

She claims the famed producer had been abusive towards her since she signed with him almost ten years ago. On one particular occasion, she recalls taking what Dr. Luke referred to as "sober pills," before waking up naked in his bed "sore and sick with no memory of how she got there."

The report goes on to say that after the incident, the music mogul "threatened that if [Kesha] ever mentioned the rape to anyone, he would shut her career down, take away all her publishing and recording rights, and otherwise destroy not only her life but her entire family’s lives as well. He also threatened her and her family’s physical safety."

Dr. Luke denies all allegations, which also refer to a number of occasions when he verbally attacked Kesha's weight, calling her a "fat f**king refrigerator." The star entered rehab earlier this year for an eating disorder – something she claims was directly related to her producer's repeated negative comments about her appearance.

The singer also says she feared for her safety around Dr. Luke – citing one incident when she escaped his Malibu home and ran barefoot down a motorway to hide from him, after he began acting violently toward her.

The controversy began last year, when fans began petitioning for Kesha to be released from Dr. Luke's "evil grasp," claiming he was stifling her creativity.

The producer has filed a counter-case, saying the allegations are all lies created by Kesha's new management firm and her mother Pebe Sebert.

He also states that Kesha threatened him with the lawsuit months ago in the hope that she would be released from her exclusive contract with his company.
