Frustrating to see women come forward with their past only to be shot down, not believed & disrespected for their bravery in taking action
— Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) February 21, 2016
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?
— Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) February 21, 2016
I'm also ready for self-proclaimed feminists to start speaking out or taking action for women's rights.

At this point, some people were starting to wonder why Taylor Swift hadn't posted anything on the matter...
@taylorswift13 Please speak up for Kesha. You have so much influence. You stood up for artists re: money. Please do the same for abuse. â¤ï¸ÂÂÂÂ

As it turns out, Taylor donated money to the singer to help with her legal fees. In a statement to Us Weekly, a rep for Swift said: "In a show of support, Taylor Swift has donated $250,000 to Kesha to help with any of her financial needs during this trying time."
Kesha's mum confirmed the singer's generosity via her own twitter account.

A persons wealth is not measured by what they have but by WHO they they help with it. And Taylor Swift is is a truly RICH PERSON.
Thank you🌹— keshas mom (@grannywrapper) February 22, 2016
