Kesha: I’m ‘pretty magical’

Kesha thinks she is "pretty magical".
The ‘Tik Tok’ hitmaker has hit back at an Instagram user who criticised her body, insisting she is finally in a place where she "feels empowered to address nasty comments" about her physique.
Replying to a comment made on her account, she wrote: "I see that you would very much like me to know that you think I’m ugly and also a ‘w***e’. Well, I understand that is your opinion but I disagree. I’m not perfect but I’m pretty f***ing magical. And also, I am not, in fact a w***e.
"Bullying someone who has struggled publicly with body issues is pretty mean. Thank god I’m in a place in my life where I feel empowered to address your nasty comments instead of letting them destroy me.
"So. On behalf of anyone anywhere who struggles with body image, STOP IT. My body is not your business. In conclusion, kiss my magical imperfect ass."
It is not the first time the 29-year-old singer – who is currently involved in a legal battle to be released from her record contract over allegations of sexual abuse she has made against producer Dr. Luke – has slammed body shamers, previously insisting she is not a "slave to perfection".
She wrote: "not a slave to perfection right now. f**k it. ***body shamers please f**k off ain’t nobody got time for it. @lhorizonpalmsprings in my skivvies (sic)"
Meanwhile, Kesha recently claimed she is desperate to be "free from [her] abuser".
She said at the time: "I’m so, so beyond humbled and thankful for all of the support I’ve received from everyone. All I ever wanted was to be able to make music without being afraid, scared, or abused. This case has never been about a renegotiation of my record contract – it was never about getting a bigger, or a better deal. This is about being free from my abuser. I would be willing to work with Sony if they do the right thing and break all ties that bind me to my abuser."
