Singer Ke$ha Was Pressured By Record Company To Lose 15 Pounds In 30 Days – Her Mother Speaks
“It wasn’t just Luke. She had an advisor who told her he had a meeting with a record company and they said she better lose 15 pounds in the next 30 days,” Sebert told Radar in an exclusive interview.“He told her he didn’t care if she shoved her hand down her throat or took illegal drugs, but she had to lose the weight.”
“Everybody in the industry has thrown up! Ke$ha’s been in the bathroom with other celebrities throwing up!” Sebert said.“Who knows who’s the one who’s gonna have the heart attack or the stroke? She was really good at hiding it.“She had been dieting and exercising and she got really thin and Luke told her she wasn’t thin enough and needed a trainer, but I couldn’t afford a trainer as a single mom. She came home a month or two later so skinny,” Sebert recalled.“She told me she was juicing and hiking Runyon, but she was throwing up. I knew at some point she’d done it. I told her it was dangerous…her teeth, her voice. She’d swear she wasn’t doing it anymore, but had a breakdown right before Christmas and told me she’d been doing it pretty much on a daily basis since two months after she signed with Luke.”
“When someone feels like they have no control, it’s like it was the only thing she could control,” Sebert added.“She had no control over her career, her time, where she goes. She’s like a show dog who gets called from point A to point B, but Luke’s comments to her pushed her into the next level.”
