Demi Lovato was shipped off to rehab a little while ago so that she could work out some emotional problems she has, but even in treatment she’s paying for her past bad behavior.

From RadarOnline:

Alex Welch’s high-powered lawyer Donald Karpel revealed he and Demi’s lawyers are moving towards a settlement.

“Alex is seeking a settlement, an apology from Demi and a donation made to a charity of her choice,” Karpel told RadarOnline.com.

Karpel said that he is working with the firm that representing Lovato and “has faith that we will reach an amicable settlement.”

Welch was scheduled to do an on camera interview with RadarOnline.com and other media outlets on Tuesday, but Lovato’s camp asked the young dancer to hold off on interviews while their case is being negotiated.

Uhhh, listen. I suppose there’s something admirable about this young dancer bypassing her opportunity to get rich for taking a punch to the face from a celebrity, but screw that. Dude, Demi Lovato punched her in the face. That’s like having someone hand you a sack of gold if you’re smart about it.

That dancer’s body wont stay forever Alex, but a few million in the bank might.

  • Sorry Molls, but your belief that someone is due MILLIONS for a punch from a GIRL is ludicrous. The apology and donation to charity should about cover it. If there was no physical damage, the dancer needs to move on.

  • “Alex is seeking a settlement, an apology from Demi and a donation made to a charity of her choice,”

    Doesn’t “seeking a settlement” mean money?

    And Chuck, never underestimate the amount of cash people will go for when celebrities are involved – especially one with a tween fan-base.

  • I think what Alex did by suing Demi but the lawyers work out a settlement agreement instead of going to court with this. I think it should of went to court I know Demi would of won the case.
    Demi in Rehab was diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder which is a mental illness that not a lot of people know they have.
    So what Alex did wasn’t what a true friend would do. Alex was just after money for herself. The thing that pisses me off is that Demi is the one who gave here a chance in the industry forst time you see Alex was in Camp Rock 2 and then she became one of Demi’s dancers then one incident happens in a airport that Demi’s sickness flares up and she can’t control it she beats up Alex one of her friends and Alex get’s money for Demi’s sickness.
    Just saying if Demi would of done the same thing to Selena or Miley or even Joe I don’t think that would want anything more then Demi to get help and apologize for what she did and that’s all I think they would want from that and they would still be friends.
