The Little Miss Sunshine and Scream Queens actor has previously shared about having been sexually assaulted and abused by an ex-partner, leading her to be outspoken on the topic of domestic and sexual violence.

Meanwhile, Katy's upcoming song "Woman's World" has sparked backlash due to the involvement of producer Lukasz Gottwald — aka "Dr. Luke." This is the same man who has been accused of drugging, raping, and abusing Kesha, starting almost a decade of lawsuits that have since been settled (Dr. Luke has denied the allegations).

Echoed in this were relentless attacks on Abigail's work, leading her to remind people that she was indeed nominated for an Oscar for Little Miss Sunshine:

Abigail was also met with straightforward verbal abuse:

Disgusting. Well, Kesha's new song "Joyride" is out now.
