Ke$ha recently teamed up with the It Gets Better campaign to fight bullying, and in a new interview with NY Mag she shared that she, too, has haters.

“Oh absolutely. I have haters. I have so many haters. People assume because you’re in the public eye that we don’t notice or we don’t care about it, but I’ve definitely experienced my fair share of hate.”

“And that’s what doing the It Gets Better Campaign is about, because there will always be haters, there will always be cynical people, and there will always be jealousy. It’s really just learning to ignore the haters and giving them the finger and doing what you know is right for you. That’s what I’ve had to learn how to do, and that’s what hopefully any kids getting bullied would know how to do.”

Even though she has stepped up as a role model in this aspect, Ke$ha says she doesn’t want kids to wake up and brush their teeth with Jack Daniels:

“It wasn’t an instruction manual for 8-year-old little girls to do.”

And what about the ever-so-trendy dollar sign meant to play an S in the middle of her name? Ke$ha says she doesn’t plan to drop it any time soon:

“I don’t know. It’s ironic. Some people have gotten the irony, some people it’s been lost on. It is definitely obnoxious. But I think part of the job of a pop star is to be a little bit obnoxious, so I think I’m doing my job well.”

Ke$ha is scheduled to perform at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on November 21st.
