After Demi Lovato’s relapse in July, the singer has been focusing on her recovery in a rehab facility.

Demi has yet to clear up the exact details of what happened and it seems that others have felt it is up to them to report the details of that night.

Upon reading the tabloids, the Skyscraper star was infuriated with the lies reported about herself and her situation.

So, she took to Twitter to make sure her fans knew truth from stories spun to make ‘sources’ some cash.

“I love my fans, and hate tabloids. Don’t believe what you read. People will literally make up stuff to sell a story. Sickening,” she wrote.

Demi then went on a Twitter rant, leaving five more posts slamming the haters and saying she was under no obligation to share her personal life with the public.

“Someday I’ll tell the world what exactly happened, why it happened  and what my life is like today.. but until I’m ready to share that with people please stop prying and making up shit that you know nothing about. I still need space and time to heal..

“Any “source” out there that is willing to talk and sell stories to blogs and tabloids about my life isn’t actually a part of my life because most of the shit I see is soooooo inaccurate. So newsflash: your “sources” are wrong.

“I would love to set the record straight on all the rumors out there but I literally don’t owe anyone anything so I’m not going to. All my fans need to know is I’m working hard on myself, I’m happy and clean and I’m SO grateful for their support.

She then ended the string of tweets on a positive note and paid tribute to those close to her that have been there for her through this tough time.

“I’m so blessed I get to take this time to be with family, relax, work on my mind, body and soul and come back when I’m ready. I have my fans to thank for that. I’m so grateful, truly. I love you guys so f*cking much. Thank you.”

While Demi credits her fans for supporting her on her way to recovery, she is furious that her so called ‘close friends’ would spill her personal info to the tabloids.

TBH, who wouldn’t be snapping?

Demi Lovato just stepped back into the social media ring to clap-back a fan who accused her of unfairly firing her back-up dancer.

The fan took to Twitter yesterday to call out Lovato's team, claiming their behaviour is "rotten" regarding the handling of the singer's altercation with her backup dancer.

Lovato shut down the fan for claiming that 'Dani', who spoke out about the star's recent overdose, should not have been fired.

According to Revelist, Dani Vitales, a backup dancer at the time, went to the press following Demi's drug overdose and trip to an L.A rehabilitation centre.

Dani Vitales, who was Lovato's longtime friend, then decided to write a lengthy statement on social media about the controversy, denying rumours that she supplied the singer with drugs:

“I have NEVER touched nor even SEEN a drug in my entire life,” Vitale, also 28, wrote on Instagram.

“I DO NOT DO DRUGS, nor would I ever encourage, or supply them to anyone I love.”

Speaking about the painful emotions which she endured following the accusations, Vitale said, 

“The circulation of an UNTRUE story on the internet yanked my life, my reputation, my name and everything I have worked so hard to stand for, out from underneath me. A damaging narrative that demonized me, placed blame on me, and has since cost me so many wonderful moments in life.”

"I care about Demi just like all of you do. I have not said anything about this situation until now because her recovery has been of the most importance" 

"I was not with Demi when the incident happened, but I am with her now, and will continue to be because she means the world to me just as she does to all of you."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by @commentsbycelebs on

On Thursday, a fan then took to Twitter and Instagram to write:

“It was completely unfair to fire dani, she’s one of the few who really cares about demi’s health and has been helping her for 3 years, she’s surrounded by people who only care about her money and she does not see it.”

The fan accused Lovato’s “team” of being “rotten,” commenting: “She does not realise it, needs a total change.”

We suspect the fan never thought Ms Lovato would actuallly see the tweet, but Demi saw it alright, and didn't hold back in the comments section:

“You have no idea what you’re talking about, ” later writing, “True friends don’t do interviews about you after you OD.”

Most readers speculated that she was referring to back-up dancer Dani Vitale, the 28-year-old singer quickly responded: “I’m not talking about Dani Vitale.”

Lovato might be referring instead to Danielle Martin,  her former trainer, who spoke out last week about severing ties with the singer:

“I lost my job for speaking up for her, to be honest,” Martin told Radar Online.

“Pretty sad. I did nothing but empower her. Nothing bad to say. The people around her I’m sure were happy to run to her. They told her I was taking the situation and making it all about me. I’d never do that. Not ever. I was standing up for her. That’s all.”

It's pretty clear that Demi's fans are NOT here for Danielle:

Demi is currently back in LA and spending time with her mother, Dianna De La Garzia, as well as attending a sober living facility.

We hope this drama doesn't hinder her recovery, we need Demi back. Not just for her legendary clap-backs too.

It's not news that Demi Lovato has had a ridiculously tough year, following her opioid overdose and subsequent trip to rehab in the past six months. 

After taking time away from the spotlight, the 26-year-old singer has finally returned to the 'gram for an important cause: to encourage her fans to vote in the US mid-term elections.

She posted this today from her polling place:

"I am so grateful to be home in time to vote! One vote can make a difference, so make sure your voice is heard!"

Lovato isn't the only celebrity to display their political standpoints and show their stance, but Demi's is all the more valuable for the struggle she is currently enduring following 90 days of sobriety.

The former child star was admitted to a rehabilitation facility on July 24 after suffering an opioid overdose in her Hollywood Hills mansion, currently on sale for €8.995 million.

She stayed in Beverley Hills hospital for almost two weeks before seeking in-patient treatment for her addiction, which she has suffered with throughout her life, alongside mental illness and eating disorders.

The star entered a treatment facility in 2010 for bipolar disorder, self-harm, addiction and bulimia, but relapsed after leaving the centre. Following this, she entered a sober living facility for a year, and celebrated six years of sobriety in March.

Her July overdose shocked fans and the famous alike. It followed the release of her semi-autobiographical single, Sober in June.

Her previous Instagram post is a selfie from July 23, the day before entering rehab, without a caption. She appears to have been dispelling fan fears that her life had ended as a result of the overdose:

The singer thanked her friends and family for their support during her troubles, and has been silent ever since. Today, she has used her platform to encourage a higher voter turnout.

Her mother, Dianna De La Garza,  has recently spoken out about her daughter's advancement: “Yes, she has 90 days and I couldn’t be more thankful or more proud of her because addiction being a disease, it’s work."

"She’s getting the help she needs. And that, in itself, encourages me about her future and about the future of our family.”

The 26-year-old singer was spotted by paparazzi out for the first time in Los Angeles last weekend, leading the public to believe that she has finished her stint at an addiction facility.

She went out to dinner with friend and designer Henry Levy, TMZ reported.

Her mother has been especially vocal about how grateful their family is that Demi is alive:

“I just feel like the reason she’s alive today is because of the millions of prayers that went up that day, when everybody found out what was happening,” she said.

“I don’t think she would be here if it hadn’t been for those prayers. I couldn’t have asked for a better team of people to save her life.”

Demi Lovato is doing well in rehab and is proud to announce she is 90 days sober.

The singer’s mum Dianna De La Garza appeared on the Sirius XM show Conversations with Maria Menounos to update fans on her daughter’s status.

She recalled the fateful night she heard of her daughter’s drug overdose.

The mum woke up to numerous text messages of people saying they had heard what happened and were sorry for Demi.

The singer’s assistant rang Diana and told her of the news shortly after.

“My knees almost went week, and I could barely stand up,” she said.

“The words that I heard are just a nightmare for any parent – ‘Demi overdosed’.” Her oldest daughter Dallas, Demi’s sister, drove her to the hospital to see her straight away.

Diana said she had no idea about her daughter’s addiction to opioids and spent the next weeks researching what opioids were and how to overcome dependency on them.

And the mum has used her new knowledge to help her daughter on her road to recovery during her time in rehab.

She was so proud to reveal that Demi has reached her 90 day sobriety milestone since her close call in July.

“Yes, she has 90 days and I couldn’t be more thankful or more proud of her because addiction, being a disease, is work,” Dianne said.

“It’s very hard, it’s not easy and there are no shortcuts.”

We are happy to hear the good news of Demi’s recovery and hope she continues to heal.

Meanwhile, she has her family by her side to help and support her along the way.

A few weeks after singer Demi Lovato was suddenly hospitalised due to an apparent overdose, her mother Dianna De La Graza, has given an update on her daughter's recovery.

Demi is “doing really well.”

Lovato’s mother, Dianna De La Garza, spoke publicly about the incident for the first time in which she said it's been hard for the whole family, and she still gets frightened when thinking back on it. “I literally start to shake a little bit when I start to remember what happened that day,” she said.

In what only must have added to the distressing situation, she explained that on the day her daughter was taken ill, her phone was bombarded with messages from people expressing concern for her daughter but that she herself was unaware of what had happened until she spoke to the star’s assistant. She added that she was "in shock" but that she and her family quickly rushed to Lovato's side in hospital in Los Angeles.

 “We got there as quickly as we could. [my daughters] Dallas and Madison and I jumped out of the car at the emergency room and ran into the emergency room to be by her side. She just didn’t look good, at all. She was in bad shape. But I said to her, ‘Demi, I’m here. I love you’. And at that point she said back to me, ‘I love you, too’.”

The Skyscraper singer was taken to hospital in July and later wrote a message to fans on her Instagram page saying she had learned addiction is “not something that disappears or fades with time” but that she would "keep fighting."

"[She is] doing really well”, adding: “She’s happy. She’s healthy. She’s working on her sobriety, and she’s getting the help she needs. That in itself encourages me about her future and about the future of our family.” 

Demi is known for her open and honest conversations when it comes to her personal struggles with addiction and other health issues. We hope she's recovering and getting the help and continued support she deserves.

Demi Lovato has been an absolute warrior during her recovery, and reports say that Demi is preparing to leave this week.

The singer was found unconscious in her home last week due to an overdose.

Demi has been struggling with addiction on and off again for many years, and she has always been open about her struggle. Just last year, she published a youtube documentary about her life, laying it all out for people to hear and learn from.

It is important to Demi that no matter what she is going through, she can use her experience to help others going through the same thing.

Many stars struggle with addiction, and it can be so difficult to break free from its clutches when under pressure from the limelight.

Demi has it even harder due to her diagnosed bipolar disorder. She is constantly on the road, performing for thousands of fans, and having every bit of her life all over social media.

The singer also struggled with an eating disorder, making dependency even more difficult to let go of in her life. 

It was suspected that Demi had relapsed after she surprised fans with her song “Sober” a few days before her overdose.

In the track, she apologies to her family and fans: “I’m not sober anymore. […] I wanna be a role model, but I'm only human.”

A source told TMZ that Demi nearly died but is stable and said to be released this week from the hospital.

Demi has continued to be transparent about her journey in life through her lyrics and in interviews as well.

Many of her fans love that the star is so real with them and were absolutely devastated when they heard the news of her hospitalisation.

The singer has not announced what her plans are after her release yet, but we can assume she will make a statement soon verifying her recovered health. 

We are glad to see that Demi has a supportive circle of loved ones around her, and we hope that she can continue to be strong and seek the help she needs.

Demi Lovato has been working for 18 of her 25 years, and she has been headlining arenas for the past five, and she will be playing the 3Arena tonight.

She began working on Barney & Friends, she starred in Camp Rock and her own Disney show Sonny With a Chance and she had record deals with Disney.

But in 2010 Demi was on tour for Camp Rock 2 with the Jonas Brothers. She left that tour early to seek treatment for cocaine use, bulimia, cutting, and bipolar disorder. She received intensive treatment in 2011 and in 2012 she entered a sober-living facility for more than a year.

Severing ties with Disney, she embarked on a major musical comeback, turning her dark times into number-one singles like “Skyscraper”; she also judged The X Factor USA, all the while speaking out about the mental health, eating disorders and drug abuse issues.

Demi recently released a documentary in October 2017 called Simply Complicated. It’s based on her recovery and her ongoing struggle.

Speaking about the project, the American star told Teen Vogue: "It was really hard to talk about on camera. But I knew that if I was honest, it would help somebody understand. Sometimes I'm not perfect with my recovery and my eating issues, but I keep fighting. And I want people to see that."

She only takes Sundays off when it comes to working out. She regularly shows off her hard work at the gym and happily poses in her gym kit on Instagram.

“I work out personally because of the way it makes me feel and the release of serotonin. It’s important to take care of yourself physically but also mentally as well," Demi told Self magazine.

"If you struggle with depression, anxiety, or any other type of stressors in your life, a really great way to get rid of those is through physical exercise and fitness." As for those days when she doesn't feel like working out because she's tired or busy, she admitted: "What motivates me on those days is knowing how I’m going to feel after I’m done."

Demi has also taken her love for fitness to the next level by joining forces with Kate Hudson's brand Fabletics, and she recently brought out her second line for the athletic fashion label.Kate Hudson said that Demi “embodies so many elements of the brand – including female empowerment and body positivity.”

Demi has been open about her own struggles with depression, eating disorders and substance abuse, and now co-owns CAST centres, which treat addiction and mental health.

"I've actually met people that go to CAST because they realised they needed to get sober or they needed to better themselves in some other way, it's changed lives, and I want to be able to do that again," Demi explained.

"My whole life, you know, is about giving back, and I think it's really important that I continue to do this while I'm on tour."

The Tell Me You Love Me Tour is Lovato's sixth headlining tour, promoting her sixth studio album, Tell Me You Love me (2017).

The tour began on February 26, 2018, in San Diego, and is scheduled to conclude on November 27, 2018, in Fortaleza. The European leg of the tour started in Belfast last night before moving to Dublin for Friday night. The supporting acts are yet to be announced.

Demi Lovato just celebrated six years of sobriety, and to celebrate, she made a heart-wrenching speech to fans about her struggles. 

According to Billboard, the singer made the speech during her concert in New York. 

The star has always been open about her history of bulimia and bipolar disorder. 

 

A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on

'Yesterday, six years ago, I was drinking vodka out of a Sprite bottle at 9 in the morning, throwing up in the car,' she told fans.  

'And I just remember thinking, ‘This is no longer cute. This is no longer fun.'

'So I took a look at my life and I said, "Something has to change, I’ve got to get sober" — so I did.'

 

A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on

'I made changes in my life, and the reason I became so open about my story is because I know that there are people here tonight that need to ask for help, and I want you to know that that’s okay.'

'Mental health is something that we all need to talk about, and we need to take the stigma away from it. So let’s raise the awareness.'

'Let’s let everybody know it’s okay to have a mental illness, it’s okay to have an addiction problem. I’m bipolar — like, whatever! I take care of myself.'

 

A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on

Demi then took the time to thank her fans for all of their loyal support.

'I can never say ‘Thank you’ enough to you guys for the support that you’ve given me over the years, and you’ve forgiven me for my mistakes.'

'Thank you for being a part of saving my life. I love you guys.'

Demi Lovato has never been shy about discussing her problems with mental health.

Having previously spoken about her struggles  with anorexia, as well as a life-time battle with bipolar disorder, the 25-year-old is determined to open the conversation around mental illness.

And it's for that reason that the singer's upcoming Tell Me You Love Me tour will offer more than just a live performance.

This year, all of Demi's concerts will kick off with a series of inspirational speeches as well group therapy and wellness workshops. Similar to the services offered during her and Nick Jonas' Future Now tour in 2016.

"It's basically like a therapy session before the concerts and we have speakers from all over and we're also helping out with different charities from around the country," Lovato said on Good Morning America on Wednesday.

"So it'll be an incredible, very moving and inspiring experience."

Speaking about what inspired her to create the crowd therapy sessions, she explained how she wanted to use her voice for more that just singing.

“I think that it's important for me to use my voice for more than just singing. I just know how important it is to use my platform to help others and to share my story in hopes that it inspires people to either get into recovery or better themselves.”

“Whatever it is, I just want people to know they're not alone and I'm here for them.”

Demi's Tell Me You Love Me tour, featuring DJ Khaled and Kehlani, begins on February 26 in San Diego, and while there's now word just yet, we're anxiously awaiting the announcement of an Irish date.
