Kesha opens up on Instagram on how devastated she is after the Court released a decision not to terminate his contract with Kemosabe Records and the chance to be finally free from her music producer Dr. Luke who is previously alleged to have sexually and physically abuse her.

"I am beyond words in gratitude. thank you is not enough but it is all I have. a million times over and forever thank you. the support I have received has left my face swollen from tears. I love you all so much. ❤️ a statement too large for this format is coming...." the 28-year old singer wrote on her social media page as reported by Complex.

The singer filed the lawsuit in 2014 that alleges Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, of emotionally and sexually abusing her many times in the ten years of her music career, CNN said.

Now a trending topic in social media the #FreeKesha movement is said to be far more complex than what the public knows as Dr Luke who is said to have molested him is also the same person behind her success in her hit songs.

It can be remembered that the producer worked with Kesha in her debut project being the back vocals of Flo Rida's "Right Round" in 2009. He was also behind the success of the singer's party anthem "Tik Tok (2010) and other tracks Animal and Warrior (2012).

The Free Kesha movement has now been gathering support from artists in the music industry: Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Fiona Apple, Lorde, Iggy Azalea, Miley Cyrus and Kelly Clarkson, according to Daily Beast. Taylor Swift has even donated $250,000 to the singer.

Recently, Girls creator Lena Dunham also backs up Kesha and released a long essay expressing her sympathy towards her.

"When I saw the outcome of Kesha's court case last Friday, I felt sick. Actually sick - I wanted to ask my Uber to pull over so I could throw up in a New York City trash can. The photos of her beautiful face crumpled with tears, the legally necessary but sickening use of the word "alleged" over and over in reference to the assault she says she remembers so vividly - it all created a special brand of nausea that comes when public events intersect with your most private triggers," she wrote as cited by Idolator.
