Demi lovato reveals she was raped at 15 & violated by her drug dealer

[BUtterfield 8 37,893]

In her docuseries Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, the songstress reveals that she was sexually assaulted by her drug dealer the night of her overdose.

"I didn't just overdose. I was taken advantage of," the 28-year-old says in the film about the July 2018 night during which she has said she almost died.

A friend of Lovato's, Sirah Mitchell, explained Lovato had been given heroin "laced with fentanyl" that night. "He also ended up getting her really high and leaving her for dead," Mitchell says about the dealer in the documentary.

"When they found me, I was naked, blue. I was literally left for dead after he took advantage of me," Lovato says. "When I woke up in the hospital, they asked if we had had consensual sex. There was one flash that I had of him on top of me. I saw that flash and I said yes. It wasn't until a month after the overdose that I realized, 'You weren't in any state of mind to make a consensual decision.'"

In the series, Lovato is emotional as she recounts dealing with the trauma that she faced not only from the night of her overdose but with a previous sexual assault.

"When I was a teenager, I was in a very similar situation. I lost my virginity in a rape," she says in the film. 

While acknowledging that she and her alleged attacker had been "hooking up" at the time, Lovato says she had made clear she hadn't been "ready" to lose her virginity.

"I was part of that Disney crowd that publicly said they were waiting until marriage. I didn't have the romantic first time," Lovato says. "That was not it for me — that sucked. Then I had to see this person all the time so I stopped eating and coped in other ways."

Lovato then says "f— it, I'm gonna say it," and reveals she shared what had happened to her to adults. However, her alleged attacker "never got in trouble for it."

"They never got taken out of the movie they were in. I always kept it quiet because I've always had something to say. I don't know, I'm tired of opening my mouth. Here's the tea," she says.

I love her so much... this girl has been through SO much in her life and I'm just so glad she's survived. I hope she's doing okay

Legit question: how can anyone who advocates for feminists rights be friends with a clearly misogynist person like her manager Scooter Braun?

It's sad that she had to go through such an awful experience. I hope she can heal and the victimizer pays for he's done to her and most likely others.

Pretty sure scooter is just money hungry and not a misogynist

I don't want to accuse him without the facts of course but based on what Madison Beer said, I wouldn't put misogyny past him:

"Now Beer is outspoken, unafraid to share her truth. But she pauses when asked how those years with Braun shaped her understanding of the industry.

“It’s something I’ve only just lately been thinking about a lot – it was such a false narrative,” she admits of her time with the manager.

Regardless of whose side you are on, Braun, 39, has in recent years become the media villain in a story of female empowerment and overcoming misogyny in a male-dominated industry.

Swift, 31, has accused him of “incessant, manipulative bullying” and, after he purchased her back catalogue in 2019, of “controlling a woman who didn’t want to be associated with” him; Selena Gomez, Halsey, and Iggy Azalea were among those to speak out in support of Swift.

Beer says her own years with Braun were of the “Oh you don’t have a say, you don’t know what you’re talking about, little girl” variety, but she hasn’t let that attitude break her.

“I hold value and if you can’t see it and don’t want me to have a voice, I am out,” says Beer. “There are times where I haven’t felt heard, and I think ‘I won’t back down,’ I don’t care how big and scary you are, if you’re the head of a label, or a president.. I will not be demeaned.”

I think that Braun is more than money hungry.

Alright

That is really, really dark and upsetting. I hope she's getting the support she needs.

Oh sh*t, fentanyl is some serious stuff, like 50+ times more potent than heroin. It only takes micrograms for someone to overdose, it's pretty much impossible not to. 

Demi might be problematic at times, but the girl's been through a lot. Respect to her for coming back from this.

America is scary like how accessible they are with drugs and guns

[VasilisVas 4,635]

Seems like most women In the music industry (or have celebrity status overall) have been victims of rape at some point or another. That’s sickening and so disturbing. Hoping the best for Demi and any other person who has been in her or similar positions. 

[ShayCristoforo 10,223]

She has really been through it. So many offenders get to live freely while victims like Demi are just reaching for happiness and peace. What a world.

What in the... she was 15 when she filmed camp rock... and that person did not get removed so that means one of her co-stars was the one who r‘d her 

[Quartz 11,923]

DRUGS ARE BAD. Been there. It puts you in a very heavy cloud where dark things happen. Your humanity is traded for a 'good time'. I am SO glad she's out of it. Even if she gets to sell millions of records later on, i think overcoming drug dependency will always be her biggest accomplishment. I'm so proud of her.

Who tf was her rapist and how is he allowed to be free with no consequences???  

Disney explain yourself...
