Kesha has been going through an ongoing legal battle with Dr. Luke. She filed rape allegations against him and wants out of her music contract with Sony. Taylor Swift donated $250,000 to Kesha to help her out with legal fees but is being criticized by Demi Lovato. Demi tweeted some rude comments such as “Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I’ll be impressed“. There were also harsher comments than that posted. As the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. After all the fire surrounding her comments, Demi released a somewhat apologetic statement to Taylor. The important thing to note here is that women should not be afraid in reporting sexual assault. Hopefully Kesha’s legal case turns out to be fair and just.
