Kesha had a strong message for those who body shamed her for the way she looked.
The 37-year-old pop singer posted pictures of herself in a black string bikini on Instagram on July 7 in response to critical remarks made on social media.
Kesha talked about her body's resilience and strength in the post.
âsheâs been through a lot. sheâs torn her acl on stage and finished the show. sheâs held my f***ing broken heart together.â
She continued:
"to those who think you're shaming me, you're actually making me feel very powerful."
And she transformed the criticism into a source of empowerment.
âso, to you, i hope you one day feel whole enough to not tear other women down. in the mean time, hate me harder b**ch:) đȘđ»"
People wondered what on earth anyone could be shaming her for.

In a 2017 piece for Teen Vogue, Kesha reflected on her prior experiences and said that she had overcome an eating disorder. She denounced body-shaming culture and underlined the harm that nasty remarks do to one's sense of self-worth and confidence.
Kesha's newest song Joyride came out earlier this month.
