"[I] would rather start a dialogue ABOUT WOMEN COMING FORWARD ABOUT BEING RAPED."
Since news broke that New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich denied Kesha's injunction that would allow her to make music outside of Dr. Luke's label Kemosabe Records, also part of Sony, pop stars all over the world flooded the "Tik Tok" singer with support via the interwebs. However, Taylor Swift took it a step further by reportedly donating $250,000 to help her out with her financial needs since she can't make music (as well as money) at this time.
While news of Taylor's philanthropy was welcomed by many, fellow popster Demi Lovato is blasting the 1989 singer for speaking with her bank account instead of actually doing something about it. And she wanted to make sure Tay knew about it and started blazing fury onto Taylor's Instagram comment section.
"How the f--k am I making this about myself? At least I'm talking about it. Not everyone has 250k to just give to people. Would love to but I didn't grow up with money and def haven't made as much as her," Lovato wrote (via JustJared). "At least I speak up about s--t that's uncomfortable to talk about rather than trying to be politically correct 24/7."
She continued with, "There's no 'rivalry' I just give more fucks than other people and would rather start a dialogue ABOUT WOMEN COMING FORWARD ABOUT BEING RAPED than throw money at one person."
The messages on Taylor's Instagram was supposed to be a response about a number of tweets that Swifties claimed was throwing shade at their beloved pop star.

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

Happens way too often. I'm ready for women to be taken just as seriously as men..

Someone tell me why anyone would ever feel brave enough to come forward if they are most likely to be ignored or called a liar?

I'm also ready for self-proclaimed feminists to start speaking out or taking action for women's rights.

Women empowerment is speaking up for other women even when it's something uncomfortable to speak up about.

Women empowerment is using your voice to help the voiceless women be heard.

Women empowerment is taking action now, not when it's convenient.
