Just saying: The Confident singer seemed to be following on from her show of support for Kesha, whom she described as a 'brave and beautiful girl' after a judge declared Friday she'd have to honor her contract with Sony and Dr. Luke
The Confident singer and songwriter posted 10 tweets Sunday in which she spoke about the way women are treated when they come forward and speak out about things that have happened to them.
A judge in New York on Friday declared that Kesha, 28, must honor her contract with Sony even though she has claimed that producer Dr. Luke had drugged and sexually assaulted her.
'Frustrating to see women come forward with their past only to be shot down, not believed & disrespected for their bravery in taking action,' Lovato tweeted.

Tweetstorm: Lovato, 23,said it's time society stopped ignoring women and it's time for women to make their voices heard
The former Disney actress went on: 'Happens way too often. I'm ready for women to be taken just as seriously as men..'
'Someone tell me why anyone would ever feel brave enough to come forward if they are most likely to be ignored or called a liar?'
Lovato also called out her peers who declare themselves to be feminists but remain silent.
She called on women to speak up for other women even if it's uncomfortable or inconvenient, and to take action 'to make actual changes in our society'.

Speaking her mind: Lovato seemed to realize the attention her tweets might get and said she didn't care how they were recieved
Lovato has long been an advocate for staying true to oneself and has publicly discussed her battles with mental illness and body image in an effort to help others.
Kesha was left in tears Friday after her legal case against Sony and Dr. Luke failed to get her released from a contract to make more records for the label.
The artist has said she's fighting to wrestle her career away from hitmaker Dr. Luke - full name Lukasz Gottwald - alleging he had drugged, sexually abused and psychologically tormented her.
The producer says Kesha made up that story in an attempt to ruin his reputation to try to weasel out of her recording contract.
