Kesha Slams Trump J.D Vance After ‘Childless Cat Lady’ Comments
Kesha is a proud cat mama and she has proven so over the years. In fact, ahead of the recent Presidential election, the singer shared her thoughts on Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate. “Booooo! F-ck that man,” she declared. However, she didn’t stop there, adding, “That’s all I have to say. F-ck them all.”
The Ohio senator faced backlash last year over remarks he made during a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson. In the resurfaced footage, Vance claimed the U.S. is being led by “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”

Vance went on to target specific Democratic leaders, stating, “It’s just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”
Inside Kesha’s Highly Publicized Lawsuit
In October 2014, Kesha filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke, accusing him of sexual assault and battery, sexual harassment, emotional abuse, and violating California’s laws on business practices. She alleged that Dr. Luke had drugged and raped her and emotionally manipulated her over the course of their professional relationship, which began when she signed with his label, Kemosabe Records, at the age of 18.
Dr. Luke denied the allegations and filed a countersuit against Kesha for defamation and breach of contract, claiming she fabricated the allegations to break free from her recording contract.

The #FreeKesha Movement
Kesha’s legal battle sparked the #FreeKesha movement, with fans and celebrities advocating for her freedom from her contract with Kemosabe Records, which kept her tied to Dr. Luke.
High-profile artists, including Taylor Swift, Adele, Lady Gaga, and others, showed support for Kesha during this time. For example, Swift donated $250,000 to help with Kesha’s legal expenses.
In June 2023, just weeks before the case was set to go to trial, Kesha and Dr. Luke reached a settlement agreement. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but it marked the end of nearly a decade of legal battles.
