From TMZ:
Ke$ha has gone to rehab for an eating disorder … TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to the singer tell TMZ … she’s at Timberline Knolls near Chicago, the same place Demi Lovato went for her issues.
We’re told the singer — who’s a vegetarian — was admitted early this morning.
Ke$ha tells TMZ, “I’m a crusader for being yourself and loving yourself, but I’ve found it hard to practice. I’ll be unavailable for the next 30 days, seeking treatment for my eating disorder … to learn to love myself again, exactly as I am.”
In updated reports, she is also apparently blaming producer Dr. Luke for her illness:
Ke$ha is telling friends her eating disorder was caused by her very own music producer Dr. Luke — claiming he bashed her weight and even called her a big, fat refrigerator … TMZ has learned.
Sources directly connected to Ke$ha tell us … it all started when the singer’s “Get Sleazy” tour ended in 2011. She says Luke — who signed Ke$ha to a deal at age 18 — started ragging on her over the extra lbs she had gained in her downtime.
Ke$ha says Luke — a huge producer who has worked with Miley Cyrus and Rihanna — began calling Ke$ha fat and urged her management team to do something about it.
Our sources say Ke$ha complained … during a music video shoot in 2012 Luke told her she “looks like a f***ing refrigerator” … and the singer was profoundly affected by it.
