Ke$ha Checks In To Rehab For An Eating Disorder

Ke$ha has confirmed that she checked in to rehab for an eating disorder.

The 26-year-old singer said in a statement on Friday:

"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."

Us Weekly reports that Ke$ha is at the Timberline Knolls rehab center in Illinois, which is the same place Demi Lovato completed treatment back in 2010.

Though Ke$ha has been honest about her body image issues over the years, this does come as a bit of a shock. On New Year's Day, the seemingly happy and healthy singer debuted the racy music video for her song "Dirty Love" music video, and shortly after that she tweeted, "Cheers to this year being the best year ever. 2014 gon be the year of truth and freedom."

Here's to hoping she gets all the help she needs ... get better K Money!
