Kesha has made a wild "don't knock it till you try it" masturbation confession.

The 39-year-old singer, who has kept her love life out of the public eye since rising to fame in 2009 with her breakout song 'Tik Tok,' opened up about her sex life during a May appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

At the time, Kesha told host Alex Cooper that she was "mostly celibate" and shared the unique way she had been exploring pleasure on her own.

"I’m now mostly celibate, you know, except for when you’re in Italy," Kesha said at the time.

The 'Die Young' singer then revealed what she does when she's not enjoying a romantic escape.

"I actually masturbate to gratitude meditations," she said. "Don’t knock it till you try it."

Gratitude meditation is the practice of reflecting on the things in our lives we’re grateful for and can involve guided meditation, breathwork, and visualization.

Kesha explains how she's rediscovering pleasure

The singer went on to explain how reconnecting with pleasure had become an important part of her personal journey, especially after becoming an independent artist.

"I keep coming back to pleasure... It is okay as a woman to feel pleasure in this world," she said.

"When you go through things, pleasure is not like the number one neural pathway that your brain always goes to when you have survived things, and I had to reprogram that, and I do it every f***ing day and I’m not even embarrassed about it."

For her, embracing pleasure is also part of preparing herself for a future relationship, although she has no intention of settling for just anyone.

"This is why I’m celibate because I’m calling in a f***ing king. Like, it’s time for my king," she said. "My p***y is manifesting with gratitude that my king is coming. Your body has to align with your reality before it shows up in your life."

Singer reveals why she's choosing to stay single

Elsewhere in the interview, Kesha admitted she was embracing her single status after reflecting on some of her previous relationships.

"This is why I've been mostly celibate, and I'm going to remain very single on purpose because we’ve worked on this trait of mine," Kesha said.

She told Cooper that she had dated people she "had no business dating," labeling one as "smelling kind of like a Subway sandwich that had been sitting in the back of your car for a couple of days".

Although the Grammy-nominated star described herself "secretly a hippie," she said "there's a line" she won’t cross when it comes to dating.

Kesha has previously spoken openly about her sexuality

The singer has also been open about her sexuality over the years, previously identifying as bisexual.

In a 2019 interview with Attitude magazine, she said that gender had never been a deciding factor in her attraction to someone.

"I have always been attracted to the soul behind a person’s eyes. It has never occurred to me to care about a specific gender, or how someone is identifying, to make me wonder about whether or not I’m attracted to them," she said at the time.

However, three years later, she clarified her sexuality and shared: "In case I haven’t been straightforward enough (LOL), I just wanted to take a sec to tell everyone that you are not only enough, just as you are, but the world is so f**king lucky to have you," she said.

“I’m not gay. I’m not straight. I don’t know what I am. I love people. I love people because we are all our own little consciousness journeys, dancing around the sun,” she continued.

"How weird and interesting and fun this life is, right? I refuse to be anything, really, except for open to it all? I know it can be confusing sometimes, but you are so seen and loved. Love u animals, happy pride?" she added.

Since the US Department of Justice released its first batch of Epstein-related files last year, President Donald Trump has come under fire numerous times for his relationship with the disgraced financier, but the worst allegations could soon come to light.

In a new ruling by a federal judge, the US Justice Department has been ordered to publish handwritten FBI interview notes containing allegations that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused a girl aged between 13 and 15.

The President does not have long to appeal the damaging order

Unless the order is appealed, enacting a temporary pause, the evidence must be added to the department's online Epstein Library by November 23.

While the ruling could bring new evidence about the president into the public domain, it is the way that investigators documented the woman's account that has raised more concern.

Unusually, handwritten notes were used to prepare three FBI Form 302 reports documenting interviews conducted in 2019.

Speaking to investigators, the woman alleged that she was sexually abused and physically assaulted when she was aged between 13 and 15 by Trump, Epstein, and others. At the moment, these are allegations, not findings made by a court.

After Senior US District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan examined the notes and versions of the documents containing proposed redactions, the Justice Department argued that handwritten material was difficult to redact.

However, Katie Phang, the journalist and lawyer who brought the case to the department, argued that more than 100 handwritten records the department had already released with redactions.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has been ordered by the judge to publish the handwritten notes within 14 days of the November 9 order.

Authorities are being scrutinized over their handling of the files

As part of the case, Katie Phang v. Todd Blanche, the journalist is challenging the department's handling of records covered by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was put into place on November 19, 2025.

On January 30, 2026, the Department of Justice announced that it had published nearly 3.5 million pages.

Although it is a step closer to uncovering what Trump and Epstein's relationship was really like, the release of these documents will not establish whether either party are true or either party is actually guilty of the crimes alluded to.

This comes after Congress heard that President Donald Trump is accused of brutally raping a former Miss Switzerland beauty pageant contestant at New York's Plaza Hotel in 1993.

While the House Judiciary Committee was investigating Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking crimes, Beatrice Keul came forward with the allegations.

In a report released by Democrats on the committee, the claims were laid out in full. The former model claims that Trump and Epstein allegedly preyed upon her and other vulnerable young women, aged 16 to 22, during the "Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant," which she labelled a "hunting ground" for the two men.

Currently, no charges have been brought in relation to these allegations.

Further allegations about Russell Brand have emerged after the now-disgraced comedian and actor was sentenced to 10-and-a-half-years in prison for three counts of sexual assault and one count of rape, with victims revealing one weird request he had for them all.

The allegations have been revealed after six more women came forward with claims of sexual assault and misconduct against the comedian, who is beginning his jail term.

Brand has previously denied wrongdoing, maintaining that his relationships were consensual, but his legal representatives did not respond to an agreed deadline to comment on the latest allegations.

While the new accounts include allegations of serious sexual misconduct, several women have also described a recurring pattern around personal hygiene.

According to their accounts, Brand appeared to have an unusual fixation with women's teeth and cleanliness, with one of the new accusers, identified by the pseudonym Vicky, claiming Brand requested that she go and brush her teeth during sex.

According to Vicky, who was just 19 when she met Brand after attending one of his comedy shows in 2007, she described feeling overwhelmed when the comedian noticed her, saying: “I was so nervous I felt myself shaking.”

Vicky initially viewed his attention as something of a “fairytale”, and the pair later had sex, but when they met again a couple of weeks later, she recounted an uncomfortable moment while they were kissing.

According to The Times, Brand stopped and told her to go and give her teeth “a good hard brush”.

“I was just so embarrassed,” Vicky admitted.

Another woman alleged that Brand also insisted she brush her teeth whenever she visited his flat.

According to her reports, he kept new toothbrushes for her to use, with Georgia saying the experience left her feeling “dirty” and was “dehumanizing”.

The claims bear similarities to an account previously given by Alice, who was 16 when she began a relationship with the then 30-year-old Brand.

According to The Times, Alice had noticed several toothbrushes at Brand's home and asked him what they were for, with Brand allegedly telling Alice the toothbrushes “weren’t for her,” and that they were for “dirty women”.

The allegations of unusual demands did not stop at brushing teeth, either, with Rosie, who met Brand after winning a competition in 2006, describing an encounter at his home that she then claimed left her feeling particularly humiliated.

After the pair had sex, Rosie said they went into the bathroom, where Brand allegedly asked her to lick the toilet seat.

“I want you to lick that toilet seat,” he reportedly told her.

Rosie refused, claiming Brand then became angry because she would not comply.

“He then got angry and seemed p***ed off that I wouldn’t let him humiliate me,” she claimed.

She revealed to The Times that she believed the demand was intended to establish whether she would “do anything” for him, an account that echoed an earlier allegation, in which Brand had allegedly ran a bath for a victim and demanded she remain in it while he left the house.

Grim detail emerges about sex in disabled bathrooms

Another detail emerging from the latest allegations concerns Brand's reported use of disabled toilets, with Rosie claiming that her first sexual encounter with the comedian took place inside a disabled toilet.

A separate allegation involving a disabled bathroom involved Louise, who knew Brand through her work at a London venue, revealing to The Times that Brand would reportedly spend around an hour meditating inside the venue's disabled toilet each day.

On one occasion, a member of his staff told Louise that Brand wanted to see her and was waiting in the bathroom.

“I went up to it, and he [Russell] cranked the door open, and he’d switched the lights off inside,” she claimed.

Brand allegedly attempted to persuade her to approach the bathroom door, claiming he required toilet paper. When she handed it to him, Louise alleged that “he grabbed her - hard”.

While she attempted to move away, she realized that one of Brand's staff members was standing behind her, but managed to remove herself from the situation.

“I tried to get away, when I stepped back, I realised his [member of staff] was standing right behind me,” she revealed.

She remembers going into another room, where she “properly cried, because I felt like a piece of meat”.

The new allegations add to the growing number of accounts concerning Brand's behaviour towards women. Several of the women who spoke to The Times for its reporting are separate from the victims whose allegations were investigated by police and formed part of the criminal case against him.

A former Playboy Playmate has claimed that Hugh Hefner tried to force her to engage in sexual relations with her twin sister.

Karissa Shannon, 37, has spoken out about her alleged experiences with the late founder, who died in 2017 at 91, after Hefner's widow, Crystal Harris, made allegations about the treatment of Karissa and her twin, Kristina Shannon, on the Lisa Guerrero Unleashed podcast.

The sisters lived at Hefner's LA mansion between 2008 and 2010, when they were between 18 and 20 years old.

Harris, who married Hefner in 2012, claimed that Hefner would force Karissa and her sister to take part in incestuous acts.

Speaking about her own experiences with Hefner, she said: "I do believe that I did whatever he wanted me to do. And if that involved sex, then I just did what he wanted me to do."

"There were times that were really uncomfortable for me in the bedroom. In the bedroom things would happen that ended up just not being OK," she added.

Crystal then recalled one horrific encounter when Hefner allegedly tried to "shove the twins' heads onto each other’s vaginas to get them to engage with each other sexually".

She added: "That is incest. That is disgusting. I didn’t want them to have to do something like that with each other. So that was very, very hard."

Karissa responds to Hugh Hefner allegations involving her twin sister

Following Harris' revelations, Karissa confirmed that her account was "true," alleging that Hefner had repeatedly tried to pressure the sisters into sexual activity with each other.

"He would try to force me and my sister to have sex with each other," she said in an interview with Page Six.

Karissa said that she was surprised by the public reaction, saying she had "figured people would already have assumed that" about their experiences at the mansion.

She also revisited an encounter with Hefner on the twins' 19th birthday in October 2008, which she had previously described as feeling like sexual "assault" and "rape."

However, Karissa was adamant that she and her sister never actually engaged in sexual activity with each other, despite Hefner's alleged demands.

"Me and my sister never actually did it together,' Karissa said. "So that's a statement I want to say. Like, really, we never, never had incest[uous] sex. Like, we never did that. We faked it. We faked it every time. And it was horrible. Like, we faked it completely."

Hefner allegedly believed the twins' encounters were real

Karissa claimed that Hefner never realized the sisters were pretending and genuinely believed they were engaging in sexual acts.

She alleged that Harris, who witnessed some of the encounters, knew the twins "were faking it," but Hefner "had no idea" and "thought it was real."

She said the acts of incest "made him so happy," and he even said it was "beautiful".

"He wanted to see it and wanted us to fool around with each other and said that if we really loved each other, we would do it together," Karissa added.

She also confessed that she was unaware of the extent of the sexual activity taking place between Hefner and other women living at the mansion.

Looking back, she said she and Kristina had supported each other through their experiences, eventually leaving the property after approximately two years.

Harris, meanwhile, expressed relief that the sisters were ultimately able to leave the mansion.

"I didn’t want them to have to do something like that with each other," Harris said. "So that was very, very hard".

Karissa vows to raise son differently

Karissa has also opened up about her personal life, revealing that she is engaged and expecting her first child, a baby boy she plans to name Genesis.

Speaking to Page Six on Thursday, the former Girls Next Door star said she was determined to use her past experiences to shape the way she raises her son.

"I want him to be opposite of whatever Hef was portraying," Karissa told the outlet. "I want him to be a gentleman, and I want him to have manners, and I want him to lead with his heart."

Karissa is not revealing the identity of her fiancé but shared that he is a "simple, blue-collar guy" from Windsor, Ontario and praised him for being so supportive of her past.

"He’s sweet, and he loves me deeply and unconditionally. He’s quick to defend me in comments [on social media] and supports my career and all my projects. He’s proud of who I am," she said.

One of Hugh Hefner's many ex-girlfriends has spoken out, confirming rumors that he demanded she have incestuous sex with her twin sister.

Former Playboy playmate and resident of the mansion, Karissa Shannon, confirmed that Hefner's widow, Crystal Harris' recent claims about her late husband giving her and her twin sister sex orders are "true".

Karissa revealed she was shocked that people were so stunned by Harris' use of the word "incest", telling Page Six that she was frequently coerced into uncomfortable situations with her twin sister Kristina.

Karissa has been very open about feeling abused by Hefner

The now-37-year-old model noted that she had previously described sex with the late Playboy founder as feeling like “assault” and “rape,”.

Allegedly, he forced Karissa, who lived in Hefner’s famed Los Angeles estate with Kristina from the ages of 18 to 20, to have a threesome with her twin on their 19th birthday.

Recalling the traumatic period of her life to Page Six, Karissa said: “He would try and force me and my sister to have sex with each other.

“Me and my sister never actually did it together. So that’s a statement I want to say. Like, really, we never, never had incest[uous] sex. Like, we never did that. We faked it. We faked it every time. And it was horrible. Like, we faked it completely.”

Hefner's wife knew that the sisters were faking it, but her husband Hef did not

She also mentioned that Harris, who was married to Hefner from December 2012 until his death in September 2017 at the age of 91, was often present and knew that she and Kristina “were faking it.”

However, Karissa claims that Hefner "had no idea" and even "thought it was real", sickeningly claiming the uncomfortable intimacy “made him so happy” because he thought it was “beautiful”.

Recalling how he pressured the teenage sisters into such disturbing acts, she added: “He wanted to see it and wanted us to fool around with each other and said that if we really loved each other, we would do it together.”

Thankfully, the twins helped each other get through it, with Karissa saying: “Me and my sister spoke about it. … We were like, ‘Let’s just fake it.'”

Later in the interview, the model - who is currently expecting her first child - said that her experience in the Playboy mansion made her empathize with the sets of twins who came before her and her sister.

Notably, she mentioned Sandy and Mandy Bentley, who shot to fame through their work as Playboy playmates in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Karissa claimed she had pondered: “Were they actually doing it?”, adding: “I felt bad for those girls because [Hefner] was younger in those days, so he was harder to fool. So I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, those poor girls are probably ruined.'”

Describing a miserable meeting with her predecessors at a party, she said: “I just felt so bad. I was like, ‘Look at them; they just look ruined from this place.’ And that’s why I promised myself I wouldn’t stay [at the Playboy Mansion] very long.”
