Anyone who hasn't learned not to mess with Kesha yet should probably figure that out immediately. 

Kesha's been very open about her struggles with mental health and an eating disorder she claims stemmed from the emotional and sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her former producer, Dr. Luke. And yet, trolls still dutifully harass her.

So Kesha fired back with a middle-fingers-to-the-sky vacation photo to let her critics know that, despite their best efforts to tear her down.

"I have been battling depression and an eating disorder for a while now. My career is in a strange place and it feels like I'm fighting an uphill fight some days," she wrote. "But I have decided to take my life back. My freedom. My happiness. My voice. My worth. I will not just fucking be quiet and hide. Today I will say fuck it and live."

And if you still, somehow feel the need to talk trash, apparently her new BFF is a shark.

"When a whale shark decides to be ur best friend and reconnect you to your true self and nature and spirituality and magic and beauty and love and gratitude," Kesha wrote. 

She even got a tattoo to solidify their eternal connection.

Kesha is set to play the Billboard Music Awards this Sunday. Her performance is reportedly a statement that will address her ongoing struggles with Dr. Luke.
