I actually thought about Demi/Taylor during the Grammys because I was thinking about how Demi and Selena Gomez used to be such BFFs, but now it's Taylor and Selena (and has been for awhile I guess). Demi's outburst is embarrassing. This isn't about her, and she's coming off as trying to make it that way, even if that's not her true intention. She was complaining about how she can't just give $250,000 to Kesha because she didn't grow up with money and doesn't make as much as Taylor. Umm... okay? But Taylor does, and I'm sure Kesha appreciates the gesture. It's just a reality that money helps and the legal fees and everything have probably been a major source of stress. Taylor is choosing to help monetarily, and Demi can help in the way she sees fit/is able.

I suspect Demi has resented Taylor Swift for a loooong time, and it spilled out with this issue. I don't understand why celebs take beefs like this to Twitter. They do realize we the public will see it, right?

Someone on ONTD said it best- "$250K is likely more useful for Kesha and her family right now than a short tweet and a hashtag."

Oh, the Selena Gomez jealousy makes so much sense. I thought Demi was having another downward spiral, but her being jealous of SG being "besties" with T-swift makes so much more sense. I don't know what Wilmer Valderrama does for a living now, but I wonder if she cares that HE didn't "speak out" about Ke$ha OR donate money to Ke$ha.
Demi just wants a pat on the back but doesn't seem willing to put her money where her mouth is. She seems so jealous of Taylor's money, career, and "friendships" that its making her lose her damn mind publicly.
Agree there is no contest about who is the best feminist among all female pop-stars- that would be kind of missing the damn point.
Demi got mad that "a silent donation" was made. The hell? In some circles and circumstances its considered crass to boast about donating a crap-ton of money. Perhaps she didn't want to embarrass Kesha by letting the world know that she "needed Taylor's help". Perhaps Taylor left the decision up to Kesha, so that Kesha felt she still had SOME agency and dignity in her own life.
What a horrible situation. And Demi L. seems like a terrible person trying to make it all about herself.

My favorite tweet in the rant:
Demi is doing the hard work, slogging through the trenches and tweeting in the middle of the night! She might even switch her profile picture and create some REAL change.

The volume, vehemence, and late hour of her tweets did make me wonder whether she was in a manic phase, in which case I hope someone close to her is trying to get her help.

I agree with Sunny. Clearly, to me, this situation touched all sorts of nerves for Demi. She's been pretty open about her struggles with various conditions and I hope she's okay. She may very well be jealous of Taylor. But it almost sounds like Kesha's situation resonates deeply for her.
Yeah, she's making it about her, but I think there is something else going on as well.

My favorite tweet in the rant: This tweet also can apply to Beyoncé's video for "Formation".
