Kesha made a startling claim about being given a real knife while performing at Lollapalooza. The singer revealed that a prop knife went missing and was replaced with a real butcher knife stolen from the kitchen without her knowledge. This incident drew comparisons to Alec Baldwin's recent involuntary manslaughter case, where he accidentally shot a cinematographer on a film set after being handed a loaded gun by a prop manager.
On social media, reactions to Kesha's revelation varied from shock to amusement, with some users referencing Britney Spears' past antics involving knives. Spears had previously posted a video of herself twirling butcher's knives in her kitchen, leading to a wellness check by the police. However, it was later clarified that Spears was simply being provocative and paying homage to Shakira's performance.
During her performance at Lollapalooza, Kesha was seen on stage wearing a midriff-baring outfit with a large knife in hand, accompanied by dancers drenched in fake blood. The reason behind incorporating the knife into her act remains unclear, as her representatives have not provided a comment on the matter.
