OMG Was Demi Lovato Doing Coke?

So apparently, Demi Lovato had much bigger issues than anyone thought. I mean, between the cutting, and the self-esteem problems, it probably wouldn’t have been even remotely surprising if things turned out to be a bit more complicated than they were said to be, and according to Life & Style, there are eyewitnesses coming forward to claim that in addition to Demi’s anger management issues and self-worth problems, drug addiction was a factor in the ‘breakdown’ that resulted in her hospitalization. From Life & Style:

Texas college student Brian Payne clearly remembers the night he spent hanging with Demi in North Richland Hills, Texas, where he saw her firsthand doing cocaine at a mutual friend’s house party on Dec. 28 last year. “She was doing line after line like a pro — and she was 17 at the time,” he tells Life & Style, recalling the wild party they attended after a concert by the band Neon Indian at the Granada Theater in Dallas. “I just remember her doing it as if she had been doing it for a long time. It didn’t seem like something new to her.”

“This is a young girl who got caught up in the fame and fortune of Hollywood and couldn’t see straight anymore,” says another insider. “She had eating issues and emotional issues, and everything else got hitched along with that.”

This is awful, and you know what’s more awful? That people are all like, ‘What do you expect, this kind of stuff happens, it’s Hollywood, she’s famous, everyone does it.’ Why does that bother me? Because the girl is only eighteen years old. And apparently, at least if you believe these ‘eyewitnesses,’ this has been going on for quite some time. A fifteen year-old coke fiend? A thirteen year-old alcoholic? Yeah, it happens, and it’s not ridiculously uncommon, but the way that people act like it’s no big thing just blows my mind. I remember what I was like at seventeen and eighteen years old, and man, I could not imagine going through the stuff that this poor girl has. Adult in age does not necessarily equate maturity and life experience, as you all well know.

Know what I think? I think that if this stuff pans out to be true, that this girl was in much deeper trouble than anyone thought – or admitted – and it was obviously ignored for entirely too long. Demi was the one who hospitalized herself, and Demi was the one who admitted different issues that she’d been experiencing through her rep. Where the fuck was this young girl’s support system through all of this?

  • I really hope that this is not true. I’m not naive, I know they opperate in the world of hollywood that has all kinds of perverse adults wanting to expose these young girls, and that Demi is making alot of money, that at 18, is basically hers, and any of us with tons of disposable income at that young of age, with all that exposure, would make questionable decisions, but where is the responsibility in the Disney Co. in protecting these girls to the pitfalls that money and celebrity present. My niece and nephew watch all theshows on Disney and everytime I come over to the house I feel relieved that at 16 and 11, they still choose to be entertained by things that are safe for the family and should represent some sense of innocence and purity, at least that is the perception when you watch these shows. These kids find outabout these rumors or stories before we adults do. What kind of impression do you think it has on these kids? It seems like everyone of these Disneys starlets by the time they are 18 falls guilty if the same types of things. Either is sexting pictures, or it’s a sex video, or a substance abuse, or a racy photo shoot. Disney is not a wholesome company and I won’t have my kids watching programs that we teach them to watch so they will stay away from all the other vile stuff if Disney isn’t going to be that much better. The parents of these girls need to wake up and protect them and Disney needs to be more responsible in protecting the wholesome nature that their Co. is supposed to represent.

  • This girl is obviously on drugs, looking at her past trauma, this would be the predicted path a troubled person would follow, also the claims say that lovato hit the dancer in her face after she ratted her out for “partying”, who would risk their career just for this? unless there was more to it, its hollywood, the acces to that is as easy as buying gum, and of course they wont admit anything because that would be a huge monetary loss, the person you see in tv is never the same person in real life.

  • Demi Lovato is not on drugs or in rehab, she is in a help centre or something not rehab. She went because she apparently self injures and has an eating disorder. I hope she gets better soon.

  • a demi lovato não usa dogra essas pessoas são tão fazendo isso para acabra com a vida dela e se ela usar mesmo assim eu vou continuar sendo fã dela

  • I know people say that when you have a couple of friends that do drugs/harm their own body/eating disorders/depressed you will start doing all those things and end up being a big whole mess but trust me it is not true i have lots of stupid accuaintences that did that stupid stuff when they were like 14 and i’m totally safe i do none of that stuff you just have to have a possitive attitude and stay away from that kind of stuff see if people acctually do/did drugs then that was their choice and they need the help that they are most likely getting they don’t need people talking about it all the time it makes it worse for somone feeling depressed/unworthy because then they feel worse even if your stading up for them people need to shut up and help the people get over it don’t make things worse by talking about it. I have known people and have friends that used to be in that state of mind. They think that its not gonna get better but by trying to do things like that makes it more and more likely that it is not going to get better.
    People need to know how to
    handle situations like that.
    Thanks For Your Time Make Sure You Take It Into Action
