Sure, she has received some media attention for going to court to try to get out of a contract that would force her to work with a man she says sexually abused her, all while being prevented from doing what she does for a living, which is make music, for an extended period of time. These things in no way help her… Read more
I know, right? I bet this is TOTALLY just want she wanted. Those sluts just want to be famous and accusing people of sexual abuse always helps with fame. Read more
