AceShowbiz - Lady GaGa continues to offer her support for fellow singer Ke$ha following the latter's legal battle with Dr. Luke. In her latest "Free Kesha" post, the Mother Monster urges Sony to cut ties with the producer who has been accused of abusing the "Tik Tok" hitmaker.
The Oscar-nominated singer agreed with fans protesting outside Sony's headquarters in New York and calling out the record company to drop Dr. Luke. She shared on Instagram footage from the demonstration with a caption, "#PeopleOverProfit you can #FreeKesha if you #FreeDrLuke Do what is RIGHT not what is better for business."
In an older post, GaGa told fans to stop victim-shaming Kesha and other sexual assault victims. "This is the most upsetting part for me," she wrote. "That the very reason women don't speak up for years is the fear no one will believe them or their abuser has threatened their life or life of their loved ones/livelihood in order to keep their victim quiet and under their control."
"What happened to Kesha has happened to many female artists including myself and it will affect her for the rest of her life," she went on. "No one needs to validate Kesha. Why is victim always the 'liar' why do we let people in a position of power get away with behaving in humanely? These guys hide behind the legal system and its their litigious behavior that is precisely what they use to rape these girls. 'Give me what I want or else I will come after you' and they have all the money and the resources to do it."
Kesha lost injunction against Dr. Luke to have her record contract dismissed. Since a picture of her crying in the courtroom hit the internet following the devastating ruling, fellow female singers like GaGa, Demi Lovato, Adele, Lorde and Ariana Grande have taken sides with her, Taylor Swift donated $250,000, while male musicians like Zedd and Jack Antonoff offered to produce her music. Other supporters include actresses like Anne Hathaway, Reese Witherspoon and Lena Dunham.
