On February 19, a New York Supreme Court Justice denied singer Kesha Rose's plea to be released from her five album contract with Sony and producer Dr. Luke. Kesha has claimed that Dr. Luke had verbally, emotionally, and sexually abused her throughout her career with him, and that his comments about her weight had led to her developing an eating disorder.

Now, remember, Kesha is not asking for this man - an alleged rapist - to go to jail, she is merely asking to be released from a contract which requires her to release her next six albums with him. Sony claims that Kesha can record her albums without Dr. Luke but without Sony's backing, Kesha fears that her music career will be decimated.

Alongside the growing case rose the hashtag #FreeKesha, which exploded on Twitter after news of Kesha's plea's rejection came out. Numerous celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande and Kelly Clarkson. Then, Sunday, Demi Lovato took to Twitter, releasing a storm of tweets on women's representation and empowerment. In the midst of her Twitter dissertation, Demi released a Tweet which many felt called out Taylor Swift , saying she was "also ready for self-proclaimed feminists to start speaking out or taking action for women's rights."

Taylor had been silent on social media regarding Kesha over the weekend, but later announced that she had donated $250,000 to Kesha and her mother in support of them and to help with court costs. Demi responded by tweeting, "Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I'll be impressed." The one-sided Twitter feud was immediately picked up by news sites, arguably gaining more coverage than Kesha's case - the actual problem which started the drama, and revealing two major flaws in celebrity society.

Celebrity culture takes real issues and trivializes them, focusing on instead needless drama and imaginary slights. Why did Demi feel the need to attack Taylor Swift? Obviously she felt that Taylor had not done enough for Kesha, but who determines what another person should or should not do? Taylor donated $250,000 while Demi tweeted support. In my mind, supporting a victim monetarily shows more of a stand of solidarity than 140 characters on a social media site.

I am not trivializing the support of celebrities who tweeted for Kesha, merely saying that support can be shown in different ways. In addition, Taylor was at one of her best friend's wedding last weekend - as maid of honor - can we not let the woman live her life for any amount of time without dragging her into some sort of imaginary conflict? If it isn't Demi it's Kanye or Katy Perry. Let Taylor be.

While Demi later apologized for her tweets, the damage had already been done. No, I am not referring to Taylor Swift's reputation, I'm talking about Kesha's case. An issue which should have been spread like wildfire through all social media and news outlets became overshadowed by the offenses felt by one woman. This article is proof - I should not even have to be writing this.

Instead of focusing on Taylor and Demi, we should still be focusing on Kesha, who has a long, hard road ahead of her. Kesha is the woman who deserves our attention, not only because her case is absolutely saddening and no one should have to go through what she has, but because it once again demonstrates inherent flaws in the music industry, including the glaring double standard in the lack of male artists who have not yet come out in support of Kesha but are not being attacked, but that's a different article.

Kesha deserves her freedom, and I am sick and tired of real issues being overshadowed by imaginary offenses. Stand by the victim instead of creating new drama, support one woman without pulling another down, because dragging women through the dirt in the name of feminism is the exact opposite of the movement's purpose.
