Kesha slams her ex as a ‘starf**ker’ after he broke up with her for not inviting him to a Taylor Swift party – as she vows to expose ‘dark secrets’ of the music industry in candid interview
Kesha has branded her ex a ‘starf**ker’ as she told how he broke up with her because she didn’t invite him to a Taylor Swift party.
The singer, 37, spoke in a very candid interview with ELLE magazine Thursday where she recalled the incident.
Speaking to the publication, the Die Young hitmaker also promised that she would expose the “deep, dark secrets” of the music industry.
Speaking about her mystery ex, she said: ‘I felt like he was in it for the wrong reasons and that he was a bit of a starf**ker.
“I decided to test that theory and took one of my friends to Taylor Swift’s party instead.” He came over the next day and broke up with me.’

Last October, Kesha revealed she was “dumped” for the “first time” by a mystery boyfriend.
She admitted this on We’re all damned.’
Although she did not reveal the boyfriend’s identity, the tweet came months after she was photographed kissing film producer Riccardo Maddalosso. It is not known who she is referring to in the ELLE interview.
Elsewhere in the chat, she spoke about her current relationship with music and the industry as a whole.
It comes after a long-running feud and legal battle with music producer Lukasz Gottwald, better known as Dr. Luke.
The two had been embroiled in a bitter legal battle for nearly a decade after Kesha claimed the producer sexually assaulted her nearly two decades ago.
Dr. Luke then sued the pop star in 2014, claiming she defamed him by falsely accusing him of rape in 2005.
In June 2023, they reached a settlement in the years-long battle against sexual assault and defamation, a month before the case was due to go to trial.

She told ELLE: ‘The music industry should be terrified of me because I’m about to make some big moves and change this s**t.
‘I really want to disassemble it piece by piece and let light shine in all corners. I hope my legacy ensures this never happens to anyone again.”
‘I don’t believe you can create anything if you don’t feel safe. The old guard, they are falling. The old way of doing everything in secret: there is no future in it. So those of you with deep, dark secrets, better run away.”
After the legal dispute was resolved, the singer shared the news in an Instagram post revealing that the parties agreed to issue a joint statement on the resolution.
‘Only God knows what happened that night. Like I’ve always said, I can’t tell you everything that happened,” Kesha wrote.
“I look forward to closing the door on this chapter of my life and starting a new one. I wish nothing but peace for all parties involved.”
The statement was followed by the message from Dr. Luke, which said, “Although I appreciate Kesha once again acknowledging that she cannot tell what happened that night in 2005. I’m absolutely certain nothing happened.
‘I never drugged her or abused her and would never do that to anyone. For the sake of my family, I fought mightily for almost a decade to clear my name. It is time for me to put this difficult issue behind me and move on with my life. I wish Kesha the best.”
The long legal battle began in October 2014, when Kesha Dr. Luke sued for assault and battery, claiming his abusive behavior caused her to develop an eating disorder.

Kesha will leave the New York State Supreme Court on February 19, 2016
The long legal battle between the couple began in October 2014, when Kesha Dr. Luke sued for assault and battery.
The singer claimed that Dr. Luke drugged and raped her in 2005, and in 2016 she also publicly accused him of raping singer Katy Perry.
Dr. Luke immediately fired back with a defamation lawsuit of his own, claiming Kesha had defamed him with her false claims when she said in a text message to Lady Gaga that Dr. Luke raped Katy Perry.
Perry denied that Dr. Luke raped her in a statement, and a New York state judge ruled against Kesha in 2020, saying she had defamed her former producer, and an appeals court upheld that decision in 2021.
The judge also ruled that Kesha Dr. Luke will have to pay $373,000 in interest for her late payment to him of more than $1.3 million in royalties.
