Ke$ha Eating Disorder Being Treated in Rehab
Singer Ke$ha is receiving treatment for an eating disorder she says is the result of comment made by music producer Dr. Luke, according to reports on Sunday.
The 26-year-old "Right Round" singer checked into a rehab clinic just as reports arose about her music producer.
According to sources close to Ke$ha, Dr. Luke bashed the singer's weight and even referred to her as a refrigerator in the past, TMZ reported.

The comments allegedly began after Ke$ha's "Sleazy" tour in 2011 when the singer put on weight during her downtime.
Furthermore, Dr. Luke complained that Ke$ha "looks like a ---- refrigerator" during a music video shoot in 2012.
Consequently, Ke$ha has been trying to part ways with the producer. The singer is also seeking recovery from the negative comments that affected her body image.
Dr. Luke also serves other best-selling artists such as Miley Cyrus and Rihanna.
Eating disorders include bulimia, anorexia, and body dysmorphia, which is where the patient is preoccupied with a perceived defect, such as being overweight, when they are perfectly healthy.
Despite the alleged battle against anorexia and/or bulimia, Ke$ha was active on social media during New Year's Day with a link to her new music video for "Dirty Love."
"SURPRIZZLE Animals! Get your glitter! New video here," she wrote on Jan. 1. "This is my directorial debut : )"
"ENJOUY," she later added. "Cheers to this year being the best year ever. 2014 gon be the year of truth and freedom. And truth is. This is my fave song off my record. Check the video."

The singer has been striving toward a new image apart from her electric pop sound that brought her to stardom. Her new album, "Lipsha," is due in stores sometime later this year.
Also on New Year's Day, Ke$ha shared a photo of a new tattoo.
"Happy New Year," the singer posted to Twitter on Jan. 1 along with a photo of a smiley face tattoo.
