Kesha's Onstage Knife Mishap Raises Safety Concerns In Entertainment Industry

Kesha American singer-songwriter

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.
