Kesha Perfectly Claps Back After Trolls Body-Shame Her Bikini Pics On Instagram

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.

“she’s been through a lot. she’s torn her acl on stage and finished the show. she’s held my f***ing broken heart together.” 

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.

“so, 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:) 💪🏻"

People wondered what on earth anyone could be shaming her for.

Kesha's newest song Joyride came out earlier this month.
