Free Kesha
March 8, 2016
At the age of 18, pop singer, Kesha, was signed to producer Dr. Luke’s label Kemosabe Records owned by Sony Music Entertainment, and now 10 years later, she is allegedly trying to get out of her contract after being abused by him. Kesha’s first court date was Feb. 19.
“I feel bad for her. She just wants to get out of a really bad relationship, and they wont let her,” feminist, Sussy Sanchez, 10, said.
Dr. Luke is being accused of sexual abuse as well as causing Kesha’s bulimia disorder. Kesha officially asked for removal in Oct. 2014.
“She’s [Kesha] done,” Sanchez said. “She probably thought it would be over [that], he [Dr. Luke] would be over her but he is not.”
Dr. Luke has gone to Twitter to talk about the allegation. He denied any sort of sexual relations with Kesha. He then continued to thank family, friends and fans for their support.
Fans of Kesha have supported to the singer starting by the hashtag #FreeKesha on Twitter. They have also created a website, and a GoFundMe account to raise money to buy Kesha from her contract. The account has already raised over $22,000 in eight days, by 1,425 people.
Celebrities have also shown their support for Kesha on Twitter such as: Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Halsey, Lorde, Bea Miller and many more. Taylor Swift donated $250,000 to Kesha to help her through her hard time.
The case is being handled by the Supreme Court located in Washington, DC. It is still ongoing, with cases to follow. So far, they have denied her and claim to not release her from her contract.
“The concept of an outer-world beyond our true knowledge is captivating to me,” Torres said. “The fact that the mystery will never end is amazing to me; I can be 108 years old and still have the desire to lay under the stars.”
For Torres the darkness in the sky holds the chilliest feeling, and the realization that we are not the only planet with living necessities is fascinating as well as terrifying. The depth of secrets held in the universe can make a person want to run and hide.
“As much as I love space and all it comes with, it still spooks me knowing I will never truly know what lies ahead,” Torres said, “or if there even is an ‘ahead’ to go and search for. The whole thing is crazy, like ‘oh yeah, hey there’s a black hole near the 20th planet.’”
Torres was a rare child; she chose books that depicted the various concepts of space, rather than playing freeze tag alongside children like most kids do.
“When I was younger, I used to always only check out books depicting space, the ugly creatures found, and aliens, “Torres said. “I was the geekiest child. Add a fresh pair of glasses and short hair; I was not exactly your ‘it girl,’ but my weirdness only helped me connect with what I read.”
The placid moments people struggle to seek, Aimee-Nicole can find by simply staring up into the sky and relaxing. She hopes one day to be able to visit the N.A.S.A base. She plans on being an astronomer to help others understand what truly is going on in space.
