Kesha Thanks Fans for Support Amidst Legal Drama

Kesha doesn’t even know what to say at the moment.


But she knows she has to say something.



The singer is embroiled in a legal battle against music producer Dr. Luke, who Kesha has accused of plying her with drugs and alcohol over the years and who she has also accused of sexually abusing her.


A judge decreed in court last week, however, that the artist did not provide sufficient evidence to break her contract with the producer, prompting Kesha to break down in tears.


In response, a number of celebrities – from Taylor Swift to Demi Lovato to Lady Gaga to Jack Antonoff – have expressed their support of Kesha on social media.


Swift has even donated $ 250,000 to her fellow star.


Now, for the first time since her legal request was denied, Kesha has spoken out and thanked everyone for standing by her during such a trying period in her life.


“I am beyond words in gratitude,” she wrote as a caption to the above image, adding:


“thank you is not enough but it is all I have. a million times over and forever thank you. the support I have received has left my face swollen from tears. I love you all so much.


“a statement too large for this format is coming….”



Following Friday’s victory in court for Dr. Luke, who insists he did not rape Kesha, the producer’s attorneys released the following statement:


As Dr. Luke has said repeatedly, the allegations against him are outright lies that have been advanced to extort a contract renegotiation and money.


Kesha and her counsel have cavalierly subjected Dr. Luke and his family to trial by Twitter, using a vicious smear campaign to ruin his reputation for financial gain while failing to support their claims.


Kesha to date has never verified the allegations in this case – even when given the opportunity in her affidavit. Nor has she ever offered a credible explanation as to why she would have signed a second recording agreement, recorded two albums and an EP and signed a publishing deal with Dr. Luke after allegedly being sexually abused.


It will further be shown that the incidents alleged never happened.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: Lisa"s Evil Web

Last night on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 6 Episode 13, Yolanda Foster sent out an email that rocked the cast to its core.


We’ll give you one guess what the subject matter was …



In many respects, this e-tirade was a long time coming.


If you watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online, or read any celebrity gossip online, you’re keenly aware of the subtext here.


All the back-talk has become legendary this season.


What might surprise you is who ended up being the target on this installment: Lisa Vanderpump, a.k.a. the spider spinning her web!


Erika Girardi summed up her co-star thusly:


“I think she engages from the side. She’s a sniper from the side. I don’t think she wants to leave any fingerprints, that’s what I think.”


Kathryn Edwards paraphrased that later, telling us that her primary lesson in the 90210 is: “Don’t get caught in [Vanderpump’s] web.”


Vanderpump, obviously, was displeased by this and ended up in an extended dialogue with Eileen Davidson about a proper apology.


Davidson wasn’t about to give her one.


Rather, she wanted Lisa to own up to some of her actions, while the Vanderpump Rules star wanted Davidson to stop talking about it.


To our surprise, Eileen wouldn’t budge.



Kyle Richards marveled at it as well: “Eileen, you’ve got balls. Just say, ‘I’m sorry’ and move on. It’s easy: I’m sorry.’ Done, bam, boom.”


This can be traced back to Yolanda Foster, who knows a thing or two about being the subject of gossip and brought this to the forefront.


“Kyle and Lisa whispering strikes a nerve in me … You don’t whisper like this in a group of women,” Foster said, which leads us to the email.


She expounded on her continuing displeasure in a letter to Richards but CC’d to all of the other women. Yolanda told Kyle point blank:


“Your lack of compassion is not a pretty look.”


Foster said, “I explained to her, from a very clear point of view, what I had to say and I wanted all the other girls to hear it as well.” 


What to make of all this? Perhaps Erika Girardi summed it up best with her thoughts on the skirmish, and of the cast members overall:


“It’s not that I’m not open to having women friends, because I have them. They’re just few and far between. I want really good women in my life.”


“Not just any old broad that comes in.” 


Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 8 Recap: Maddie"s Back!

What took place on Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 8 last night? The return of Maddie Ziegler, for one … and not a moment too soon.



Maddie returned from shooting her movie, and while Abby Lee Miller was not especially happy to see her, that was likely a good thing.


Why? Because if Abby was jealous of Maddie’s fame (hilarious but true), that could serve to knock her down a peg and motivate her.


If you watch Dance Moms online, nothing should surprise you regarding Miller’s mental state at this point, but that’s another issue entirely.


“I did have so much fun filming a movie, but it’s great to be back,” Maddie said, though Abby feared she’d lost her passion for dancing.


Ziegler said she wasn’t aware of any controversies involving Miller, such as Abby quitting the show or facing federal bankruptcy charges.


Miller, for her part, insinuated that Ziegler wouldn’t have made a name for herself had it not been for Dance Moms. (We know, yeesh.)


“Without her dance training, Maddie wouldn’t be getting these opportunities,” the brash coach said, encouraging her to focus on winning.


Abby was far from pleased that Maddie ended up in the bottom of the pyramid this week alongside her younger sister Mackenzie. 


Nia Frazier and JoJo Siwa were also down there.


At the top of the pyramid: Kalani Hilliker, followed by Kendall Vertes and Brynn Rumfallo. As a result, Abby did not give Maddie a solo!


Oh, the other moms were buzzing over that one.


Ziegler’s mom reminded them that her daughter appeared on Ellen with Sia and is getting plenty of traction in her career at this point.


Abby, of course, didn’t watch Maddie’s interview.


To see how the rest of the drama played out, follow the links above … but please be advised, there is a 100 percent chance of SHADE.

Kailyn Lowry Responds to Matt Baier"s NASTY Tweets About Her!

Earlier today, we revealed some of the cruel and insulting tweets Matt Baier unleashed on Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry.



Back in 2014, before Baier became engaged to Kailyn’s friend and Teen Mom OG star Amber Portwood, he trolled Kailyn endlesssly with a series of nasty tweets, like this one:


“What was the topic of Kailyn’s book? How to bang ugly dudes, cheat in a shower and have my face always look like I’m allergic to shellfish?”


And this one:


“Kailyn’s face breaks my TV…The worst thing to ever happen to high definition is Kailyn’s face.”


Like he should talk. Just sayin’.


Now, in an interview with The Real Mr. Housewife, Kailyn addresses Baier’s insulting tweets, and her response will surprise you.


“Honestly, it is what it is,” said Kailyn. “Obviously I was skeptical about him at first because of it.”


“But I met him in person and he was very nice to me,” she added. “And let’s face it. I’m sure there are people we do KNOW, consider friends and are acquaintances with that talk crap about us too.”


Floored.


Normally, we expect a Teen Mom to release their inner Kraken on anyone who speaks an ill word about them (cough, cough, Farrah Abraham), but Kailyn clearly took the high road.


In fact, the 23-year-old’s response is far more mature than the comments previously shared by 44-year-old Baier.


But duh, Baier is a sketch ball.


Before actually finding his meal ticket with Amber, he courted Farrah on Twitter and had an unhealthy obsession with yet another Teen Mom, Jenelle Evans.


He’s also got eight kids with six different baby mamas, owes thousands of dollars in child support and doesn’t pay his rent.


Sorry, did we say sketch ball? What we meant was TOTAL LOSER.
