Demi Lovato appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show this week, where she spoke for the first time in detail about what led to her drug overdose in July 2018. She broke her six-year sobriety just three months before, she told DeGeneres, in part because of the controlling nature of her old team and her unhappiness that grew over time. She said: I have to preface it with the fact that I got sober at 19. So I got sober at an age where I wasn't even legally allowed to drink. I got the help that I needed at the time and I took on the approach of a one size fits all solution, which is sobriety, just sobriety. And so my whole team took that approach and we did it. And we ran with it, and it worked for a long time. But I realized that over time as the things with the eating disorder were getting bad, I mean, over the years it got progressively worse and worse with people checking what my orders at Starbucks were on my bank statements. Just little things like that led me to being really, really unhappy. My bulimia got really bad and I asked for help and I didn't receive the help that I needed. And so I was stuck in this unhappy position. Here I am sober and I'm thinking to myself, "I'm six years sober, but I'm miserable. I'm even more miserable than I was when I was drinking. Why am I sober?'" And I sent a message out, and I reached out to the people that were on my team, and they responded with like, "You’re being very selfish. This would ruin things for not just you but for us as well." And when I heard that, my core issues are abandonment from my birth father as a child. He was an addict, an alcoholic; like we had to leave him. And I have vivid memories of him leaving so when they left, they totally played on that fear, and I felt completely abandoned so I drank. That night I went to a party and there was other stuff there and it was only three months before I ended up in the hospital with an OD. Lovato emphasized it was her choices that led her to recover today and be able to share her story: And you know, ultimately, I made the decisions that got me to where I am today. It was my actions that put me in the position that I'm in. And I think it's important that I sit here on this stage and tell you at home or you in the audience or you right here that if you do go through this, you yourself can get through it. You can get to the other side and it may be bumpy, but you are a 10 out of 10, like don't forget it. And as long as you take the responsibility you can move past it and learn to love yourself the way you deserve to be loved. She also spoke to DeGeneres about how her struggles with her eating disorder and her team's control of the food she ate contributed to her abuse of drugs. DeGeneres pointed out that whenever Lovato came on the show, her team would always make sure there was no sugar around her. "I didn't know that until today too, but I lived a life for the past six years that I felt like wasn't my own because I struggled really hard with an eating disorder, yes, and that was my primary problem and then it turned into other things," Lovato said. "But my life, I just felt it was so...and I hate to use this word, but I felt it was controlled, by so many people around me."

Since the positive reception to her 2020 performances, Lovato has been active on social media. However, some eager Lovatics may think she’s been a bit slow in releasing information. Fortunately, that’s all changed now. http://instagram.com/p/B9U2VO9hh2K On March 2, 2020, she revealed that a new single, titled “I Love Me,” is on the horizon. It’s set to debut on Friday, March 6, 2020. Lovato also shared a music video for the song is on its way. Given the title, we wonder if it will feature a battle between Lovato and “herself.”

http://instagram.com/p/B9Z3LfvhVhf Both Lovato and Grande got started in show business when they were very young. Lovato’s first role on Barney & Friends (alongside former pal Selena Gomez) led to her tenure as a Disney Channel star, appearing in films like Camp Rock and as the lead in the sitcom Sunny With A Chance. Meanwhile, Grande, who began her career in theater, was one of the young stars of the series Victorious on Nickelodeon. From there, she, like Lovato, focused on her music, though she has continued to act occasionally over the years. http://instagram.com/p/B1XLJQNBGGp Also in 2019, Lovato celebrated her 27th birthday in London with Grande and Braun. She posted videos from the day, including the above in which Lovato and Grande hug and another where Lovato blows out the candles on her cake. Lovato spoke about this day when she appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in March 2020, calling Grande “one of [her] good friends.” She added, “We just had the best birthday” and praised Braun for being someone that “supported [her] journey.” We hope to see more of these two stars together in the future.
