Kesha finally loves her body: “I look good naked!”

Katrina Barber/Getty Images for SXSWIn the past, Kesha‘s been outspoken about her body image issues: her eating disorder and the pressure that the music industry put on her to look “perfect.” As part of a conversation with Refinery29 at the South By Southwest festival this week, Kesha discussed how she finally overcame those insecurities, and stopped letting online bullying get to her.

 “It’s empowering to sit with my imperfection and be real and vulnerable, Kesha said.  “In truth, there’s real power. I used to nitpick everything and it was f***king exhausting. Now I’m feeling myself. I look good naked!

“Criticism online used to tear me up,” she added. “Then I realized you can’t make people you don’t know your higher power. The internet shouldn’t be a place that makes us feel unsafe.” 

That conversation was part of Refinery29’s “Reclaim Your Domain” campaign.  In a separate Q&A with students during an anti-bullying workshop in Austin, Texas, Kesha spoke more about the topic, noting, “Trolls are only powerful if you let them be…I try to remind myself that these are just people hiding behind a screen, saying things they would never say to your face.

“I have learned to try to take other people’s’ opinions with a grain of salt,” she continued. “Over the years, I’ve gained a certain level of self confidence. I know that I’m a good person, so it’s easier to not let someone else mean comments bring me down. But I admit, it’s not easy.”

Kesha also called President Trump “the commander-in-chief of the trolls,” noting, “When people, and especially kids, see the president acting so negatively towards others, I think that it can cause them to justify similar behavior in their own lives — and that’s not okay.”
