Kesha dropped in on social media Sunday to share sizzling bikini snaps with her 3.3 million followers.
The 37-year-old pop star — who just released her first single as an independent artist — modeled a black two-piece swimsuit and added a caption calling out body shamers.
‘I didn’t think in 2024 people still body shamed but. i am so proud of my body. she’s been through a lot,’ she began the message.
The Tik Tok hitmaker continued, ‘She’s torn her acl on stage and finished the show. she’s held my f*****g broken heart together.’
Directly naming critics, she concluded: ‘To those who think you’re shaming me, you’re actually making me feel very powerful. so, to you, i hope you one day feel whole enough to not tear other women down. in the meantime, hate me harder b****:).’

The first image showed the star, born Kesha Rose Sebert, lying on a rocky outdoor surface with her back arched.
Her skimpy swimwear bared the small tattoos on her arm and the sizable ink on her ribcage.
In a second capture, she wore an opened white robe, revealing her taut tummy and cleavage.
She posed on a balcony with a sunny backdrop with a clear blue sky and ocean view.
Kesha covered her blonde locks with a black baseball cap and went makeup free in the pair of snaps.
Her friend Kyle Richards was among the first to comment and show support as she wrote, ‘So beautiful inside and out,’ with a heart emoji.
One fan wrote, ‘An absolute queen, an inspiration, and a warrior who’s had to be strong even when she should have been protected. We love you.’
Someone else added, ‘you have the most beautiful soul and heart. that’s what will carry on with you through every lifetime.’

Kesha has a history with bulimia and anorexia, which she said got worse as her career took off in 2009.
In 2017, she admitted to Rolling Stone that she ‘really just thought I wasn’t supposed to eat food.’
‘If I ever did [eat], I felt very ashamed, and I would make myself throw up because I’d think, “Oh, my God, I can’t believe I actually did that horrible thing. I’m so ashamed of myself because I don’t deserve to eat food.”‘
She recalled that ‘the worse’ she got and ‘sicker’ she became, the ‘better a lot of people around’ her were saying she looked.
‘They would just be like, “Oh my gosh, keep doing whatever you’re doing! You look so beautiful, so stunning,”‘ she told the music magazine.
On July 4, Kesha released her first single as an independent artist; pictured in Philadelphia during the Wawa Welcome America Fourth of July Concert

After teasing new music for months, the songstress dropped her newest tune, an upbeat anthem called Joyride on July 4.
It marks her first single since she officially parted ways with producer Dr. Luke’s record label Kemosabe Records and RCA in 2023.
It follows a lengthy legal battle against Dr. Luke, who she accused of sexually assaulting and abusing her for years.
In May 2023 she released the album Gag Order, which was the final project she was contractually obligated to put out.
