It was a decision that hit close to home for assault survivors everywhere. In standing up for herself, she was not only accused of lying — she continued to fall victim to the disgusting power dynamic Dr. Luke had used to threaten another aspect of her life: her career.



In her new song, Kesha perfectly captures her resilience after standing up to her alleged attacker.

According to the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault, the most common reason women don't report getting assaulted is the fear that we won't be believed. We are almost always victim-blamed, and our credibility as a whole gets questioned incessantly. This can affect our mental health, and in turn, it makes us feel like our attackers still hold power over us.

For Kesha to be subject to all this, after her career was literally hindered by her attacker, was unbearable.
