Kesha won't tolerate criticism about her body because she's “so proud” of herself.
“I didn’t think in 2024 people still body-shamed but … I am so proud of my body,” Kesha wrote on Instagram on July 7.
“She’s been through a lot. She’s torn her ACL on stage and finished the show. She’s held my f–king broken heart together.”
The singer added, “To those who think you’re shaming me, you’re actually making me feel very powerful. So, to you, I hope you one day feel whole enough to not tear other women down. In the meantime, hate me harder bitch.”
Kesha ended her message with a smiley face and bicep emoji, along with sharing two bikini photos.
What has Kesha revealed about her struggle with an eating disorder?
Kesha has openly discussed her body image in the past, often sharing her journey through recovery from an eating disorder.
“Finally I was like, ‘F–k. This. S–t. F–k this s–t. I’m hungry!’ And I am so anxious that I feel like I’m going to explode from all the secrets,” she recounted in a 2017 Rolling Stone interview.
“All the secret times I’m pretending to eat or other times I’m purging, and I’m trying to not let anybody know. And I’m just f–king sick of this s—t. And I remember just shaking because I was so fed up, so anxious, and I was just mad that I had let myself get to that point.”
Kesha's anxiety reached a point where she was unable to function. Now, she ensures her health is a priority, even during tours.
“I always have three meal breaks, ’cause being in recovery, I need to have time to sit and have a meal,” she explained to Self.
“I have about 30 minutes before I go on stage where I meditate, stretch and do breathing exercises. People probably think I’m back there doing shots, and [my routine is] the most zen s–t you’ve ever seen.”
