Frustrating to see women come forward with their past only to be shot down, not believed & disrespected for their bravery in taking action

She said, quote, “I didn’t shade Taylor. If you take it that way than fine. I’m just tired of seeing women use ‘women empowerment’ and ‘feminism’ to further brands without actually being the ones that have the uncomfortable conversations.”
She added, quote, “Not everyone has $250,000 to just give to people . . . I didn’t grow up with money, and I definitely haven’t made as much as her. At least I speak up about [crap] that’s uncomfortable, rather than trying to be P.C. 24/7.”
To Taylor’s credit, TMZ reports that Kesha DOES need the money.”
