Cheryl Fernandez Versini has become the latest star to voice her support for embattled singer Kesha.
The X Factor judge blasted Sony, the label which last week won a court battle against the Tik Tok hitmaker when she tried to leave their roster because she claims she was raped and drugged by producer Dr Luke.
Speaking to The Sun at Wednesday night's BRIT Awards, 32-year-old Cheryl backed Kesha - on the same night Adele dedicated one of her four prizes to the star.
Cheryl, who went public with her romance with One Direction star Liam Payne on Sunday, said: 'It’s sickening and she 100 per cent has my support. As a woman I can’t imagine what she has been through. I can’t believe it. She should have the right to do whatever she wants. 'I will definitely reach out to her just as Taylor Swift and Adele have. To have to be in a working environment and go through that is awful. It’s so important to have your voice – she’s had that taken away.
'She should be able to leave. Why won’t they let her leave? As a mentor on X Factor, when I support the girls I’m so passionate about them feeling safe and supported. She’s lost that.'
