Some of you may recall a few blogs back when I was ranting about all this bullshit that’s going on with Kesha (remember, it was the blog where someone accused me of being non-white because I think black lives matter!). Since then, a slew of female celebrities from Adele to my all-time-favorite, Fiona Apple, have spoken out for their support of Kesha, which is awesome! Women with some form of power in the entertainment industry supporting another woman being disenfranchised in it is really great and I love it.
However, maybe no one has spoken out about her support of Kesha as much as Lady Gaga, which is totally fine, good for her. However, it’s really hard to take Gaga and Miley Cyrus (who has also taken to Instagram to show Kesha support) when they still support and work with some of the scummiest dudes in Hollywood.
Lady Gaga claims to be a victims advocate and is practically taking over the Kesha train (all aboard as Gaga makes it all about her), yet in the last couple of years she’s worked with R. Kelly, who likes to piss on teenage girls and hide in closets for extended periods of time. I mean, “Ignition (Remix)” is a bit of a jam, but the guy still tried to marry Aaliyah when she was 15 until her parents were like “No, you old creep!” I mean, there is legit video footage of him peeing on an underage girl, which is worse than the Kesha and Dr. Luke thing, since that’s still a he-said/she-said scenario. We KNOW how R. Kelly fells about peeing on minors. Hint: he loves it!
However, since Kelly Clarkson said that Dr. Luke wasn’t a good person I have to go ahead and assume he’s fucking awful, because Kelly Clarkson is like music’s sweetheart and I feel like she doesn’t hate anybody, so if she thinks you’re shit then you probably are.
Aside from R. Kelly, Gaga often works with notorious scum bag/pervert photographer Terry Richardson, who numerous young women have made sexual assault/harassment claims against.
Very few people make me as uncomfortable to look at than Terry Richardson does, and the shit he’s allegedly done to dozens of young models is really fucked up.
Speaking of Terry Richardson, you know who else he’s besties with? Miley Cyrus! Another Kesha supporter who often works with Terry and is currently working with everyone’s favorite step-dad turned husband, Woody Allen!
Not only did Woody Allen take nudey pics of his teenage step-daughter and then marry her, he also allegedly molested one of his own daughters, yet Miley is more than happy to work with him.
Before you get in the comments and bring up the fact that a lot of the crimes I’ve mentioned in here are only alleged, let me get to my point of why Gaga and Miley look like hypocrites who only show support to a fellow female when she’s famous and it looks good:
Kesha alleges that Dr. Luke abused her, and Gaga and Miley are willing to stand by her on that claim because it’s bullshit how often women’s voices aren’t heard when they make abuse accusations. That’s totally fair. However, you can’t stand by one woman and claim to have her back and believe her, then go for drinks with men and work with men who numerous women have made allegations against; with some of those allegations proving to be 100% true.
You don’t get to pick and choose which alleged victims of sexual abuse you support based on what’s good for your career. You’re not a real supporter then, you’re just a douche bag trying to get in on a popular cause.
If you think women who allege sexual abuse should be heard then why are you posing topless for alleged sexual abusers? Why are you starring in shows with old men who take nude photos of teenage girls they helped raise? Why are you in a music video grinding on a man who took a piss on a teenage girl? Why are you co-starring in those new Jello Pudding ads with Bill Cosby?…Ok, I made that last one up. But still, you get my point.
You can’t promote women’s voices being heard, then overlook so many of those voices just because Terry Richardson takes good pictures of you.
Years ago, I wrote a blog about Lady Gaga needing a gag order and I still stand by it.
Get your shit together, or shut the fuck up.

This is typical of a blog. (ie. Not real journalism)
LEt’s count all the embarrassing parts of this article, shall we?
1. Black Lives MAtter? No one has ever suggested they don’t. The ones who care the LEAST about black lives are OTHER BLACK LIVES., If a black person is murdered, there is over a 90% chance that they were murdered by ANOTHER BLACK person. So, anyone who screams Black Lives Matter is an idiot, unless they are addressing the REAL issue hurting black lives. THAT is why you are an idiot.
2. Just because Kelly Clarkson said Dr. Luke was not a good person doesn’t even come CLOSE to giving any credibility to Kesha’s claim. Especially since Kesha testified UNDER OATH in 2011 that Dr. Luke never made any sexual advances toward her. This was well after she now claims she was raped
3. I hate Miley Cyrus as much as the next person, but she stopped being photographed by Richardson when the credible allegations against him came out.. Pretty famously so, too. Pretty much everybody BUT the one person who is writing about it (and therefore should have done SOME research) knows this

Oh also…Terry Richardson DOESN’T take good pictures of either of them, or anyone. HE makes women look like skanks. And not even in the “Hey…don’t slut shame women by calling them skanks!” sort of way. In a way that no one would disagree that they look like nasty disgusting skanks. Nothing even remotely sexy about his pictures.
