Ke$ha has recently entered a treatment program at Timberline Knolls in Illinois to deal with an eating disorder, but Radar Online reports that the "Timber" singer may also be struggling with alcohol issues as well.
"There's no doubt that Ke$ha has her demons and the chief one is an eating disorder," an insider told the gossip site. "It's the primary reason she checked into Timberline Knolls. But in recent months, those closest to her had become increasingly worried about her drinking. It's been the stuff of legend in the past and she's never hidden the fact that she loves to drink. Now, though, part of her bid to get healthy is to get completely healthy - and that will involve looking at her abuse of alcohol. Some of her advisors had raised this in the past."
It's no secret that the pop singer loves to drink, as her first hit single, "TiK ToK," detailed her love of Jack Daniels and partying. Her struggles with an eating disorder, however, have come about in recent years as she's noticably slimmed down, and the 26-year-old star has been very forthcoming about her decision to admit herself in rehab.
"I'm a crusader for being yourself and loving yourself, but I've found it hard to practice," Ke$ha said via statement issued to TMZ last week. "I'll be unavailable for the next 30 days, seeking treatment for my eating disorder...to learn to love myself again, exactly as I am."
Rumor has it that a major fight with her record label and Dr. Luke has added pressure, as the producer has reportedly tried to sabotage her career over a disagreement on the direction her music should take. While Ke$ha wanted her sophomore album "Warrior" to be a rock record, Dr. Luke and her label pushed for the electro-pop sound. Most recently, the singer released a self-directed music video for her song "Dirty Love," using the demo version instead of the album version with the legendary Iggy Pop due to the friction between her and Kemosabe Entertainment.
