Kind of hard to believe she's 19 years-old here. She looks really mature.
SHE'S 19?????!!!!
She is really mature!
fr she be looking 25
I remember watching these interviews and being like “wow she’s amazing. She’s come so far”, but even in this interview she was still using. I’m so happy that she’s now 5 years sober and that she’s taking care of her eating disorder. ❤️
yeah, I know ... now we KNOW she was so lying here but luckily she did get the help and made a change.
She isn’t taking care of it I mean she just relapsed
Beautiful Flow3r that doesn’t mean she isn’t trying which is taking care of it
Beautiful Flow3r that's so insensitive.... I can't even
Shes not now lol
I'm a 16 year old boy, and I shed tears over this. I love Demi and the person she is and am glad she stood up and talked about these issues. She is a beautiful person inside and out and I love it.
Same here
You guys in the comments are horrible. You think you're cool because a 16 year old boy can have these issues and say that he cried watching this? Like you've never cried. Freaking egotistical assholes. Grow a brain and fuck off.

Really? Guys have feelings too, they are humans and they are allowed to cry. You are no one to judge him. This is a serious topic & the fact that he felt something over this is incredible. Plus he said it on the internet, that my friend makes him have balls that you don't have.
Nancy Ayala well said c:
SuperGameRocket loser
It's crazy to think that even here she was not sober :(
I see IT in her eyes When she is off
I don't understand, this supose to be after her first overdose, i thought she was clean at that time
@@arielbrocani7388 She hadn't an OD at that time, she had a breakdown. This interview aired on September, 2011 and she actually got sober on March, 2012.
Yeah, so sad to think now!😐💔
How do we really know she is sober now?
Anyone watching this after watching simply complicated and thinking wow she was still struggling with drugs badly too :(
Laine Burton yes 😔
When you watch stay strong then simply complicated it makes sense.
shes my hero, role model & inspiration
Demi is my world💙💙💙💙
Hannah Borland YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Lol
Same ^^^^^^
So proud of what she's overcome and definitely proud to be a Lovatic 💕💖👊
hell yeah!
Lovatic 4ever! Demi's my role model and I am so proud! She deserves being surrounded by fans and people who look up to her! She is just a young girl, but she does know the meaning of life!
wow hearing her you would never know she was still using and abusing coke and alcohol.
My name is Leilani too 😃
Someone give her a Grammy, please
Richard Meister because she was bullied?
MileyRay Hansen no because she played off being well that it was so hard to believe she was suffering the whole time
Dinah Ray Hansen Because She is a great singer.
I think you mean an OSCAR lol
She's so inspirational, I love her to death. She is really a good person and it's nice to see someone in the industry making such a positive impact on young girls, especially compared to other ex-Disney stars. Props to you, Demi, you're amazing.
So the American idol performance happened about a year after this interview. She was still struggling with substance abuse at this time. Damn she knew how to hold her shit together when it was time to. I think performers have a good knack for that but damn
Glad she's really better now though.
Ashley Brabson 6 months, actually. She started to get sober in March 2012.
When other people ask me why I love her.. I just answer simply because she taught me how to be a warrior.
How can anyone bully Demi Lovato? She's so pretty
That's how, bullying is basically based on jealousy
Mya A. . I see what you mean but that doesn't make it ok. Screw those people that bullied Demi, am I right? xD
She got bullied cause she was called fat and ugly cus of her eating disorder, and now shes stronger than shes ever been :D
What does pretty have to do with getting bullied? You can get bullied for any kind off shitty reasons no matter how pretty you are. It's not like pretty people are immune and "ugly" people aren't. The source for bullying does not come from the one getting bullied, it comes from the one(s) doing the bullying.
TheGlittra True, but I think it's ridiculous how bullies think they can get away with injustice such as picking on someone's looks, race, jealousy or whatever. She had her issues, but you can't help but admire her for fighting her way through it. This is why I like Demi because she's humble and she's one of the few Disney Channel stars that didn't go off the deep end after leaving. At least to my knowledge. xD
Beautiful Demi, well said.
Omg this was when she was doing drugs
Demi has changed my life in so many ways. I'm so thankful for everything she is doing. She is and always will be my role model.
shelby ward me too. Been a Lovatic since camp rock and loved her since Barney! I must of watched every demi video but this one I’ve only just found it aha 💕
Cannot believe stars like Demi and Kesha had to go through this, it's so cruel that people fat sham them both beautiful young women, they're inspirations to young girls everywhere
She's so strong. It's unreal
I couldnt even contain myself like that. im impressed.
Exactly incredible human being 👏
...and hot as fuck
She's been through so much & still managed to come on top! Most perfect role model ever😍💕
Dmgirls except she was on drugs at the time of this interview
I hate people that say she's fat! She's not. She's healthy, not like the artists and model that don't eat! #lovaticandproudtobe
Yes, because thin artists and models don't eat. Because anyone who's thin is anorexic. Right? Wrong.
She helped me so much. My mom wants me to be like those girls on the magazine, but I don't and Demi really inspires me.
To see her hesitation and pain about the topic back then compared to her documentary today. She still struggles but she's so much stronger and I appreciate it so much
Demi is so perfect. Having gone through this myself, she inspired me to get help a few weeks after she went public with treatment. Demi saved my life and I'm forever in debt to her. I will always support her.
I'm a Lovatic because of that. Exactly what she said, and when she said it I burst out crying. She was the one who influenced me to stop skipping supper when I was thirteen and it's just scary how accurate what she said was. I don't even listen to pop music, I love metalcore and deathcore, but I'm proud to call myself a Lovatic
bring her back to the show!!!
she was in the show 3 days ago. ☺
I love Demi. She is my hero!
Brave Warrior Mixer Lovatic she's my hero too
This a bold, brave interview.
Demi is the perfect definition of role model. Proud lovatic and how far she's come.
I just wanna hold her tight and tell her that she saved me..
First time I saw this video I nearly cried cause I know what it feels like to be bullied because I experienced that but luckily I moved schools before I could do self harm or anything. Live u demi and keep on being strong sweetie because I know u r strong and no one can get u down again. Love ellen
so she was actually using here? gosh it's fucking shocking but you can see it now
demi is my idol i cant believe anyone ever did this she is the most amazing person in the world.i look up to her so much
Whats fucked up is most television channels wont let girls over weight be on there i looked up to skinny magazined girls i got sick so demi inspired me soo much
This is so emotional to watch after the overdose and the new documentary about it coming out.
I'm so proud of her she is such a role model and she is living proof that things like this can be beaten she is still living and is still here fighting and showing you can get through it x
came after watching simply complicated
im going through all these interviews, wondering if she even cared. but I love her!
Xiomara Jimenez demi has always cared she just never fully relized what she was doing
i just love demi for this. i've been through bullying and cutting. i was in such a dark place. i stopped eating and i was really thin, not exactly anorexia, but very thin. my mother was drinking very much and my mom and dad was always fighting (not physically). now, i changed school, have good friends, i'm too thin anymore and i've stopped cutting. mom has stopped drinking and mom and dad is divorced. everything is so much better now. she's my role model. she's so strong. thanks demi!
My God she's come so far. Good for her.
She was the one inspired me to face my fears and go into treatment and tell my family what was going on. Demi your my idol ❤
She is not my fave singer but whoever bullied her is gonna receive a nice fist in the face from me.

Using violence against violence isn't the way to go lol. Whether you were joking or not, you shouldn't make threats to people even if they can't see the comment. Don't mean to lecture or anything :P And in general, I know ppl say rude or mean comments is inevitable on youtube, but people can and should lessen it. Don't follow the crowd in promoting this form of violence and threats.
6 years later and still can't stop watching this video
Demi she is really amazing she is people idol no words can't describe what i think about like your talk its really help
Shes AMAZING
Forever love you Demi. The world needed someone like you.
#ForeveraLovatic
Am I the only one crying?😭😭
no ur not 😭😭
This woman really helped me. I told myself "she lived horrible things so I can survive to this. She is strong, and if she is, I can be". You bring her down, you bring me down but it's over. Demi is trying to help people like her, let her do it.
i love her so much 😭💕
omg..she changed a lot
How . Tf.?
her look duh
her look doesn't matter i still love her what matter is she don't change her personality and ruin her life .
Wow, you're such a strong person, Demi! You inspire me and you and your music give me strength!
we need more role models like this she was in a very dark place and she dug herself back out and is back on top she is a huge inspiration proud to be a lovatic
She's my idol and inspiration. I saw her in concert with my best friend last year, so amazing.
She's my idol . She been through so much and came out of it stronger. Love you #lovatic
It is really inspiring and admirable that someone like her can talk about her issues and be a role model for a lot of people that have been gone through the same things, we all get to that point sometimes and when someone like her speaks up and faces these kind of things is amazing. Really proud of her.
Im officially a lovatic now!
Demi is the most beautiful person in the whole world and I know that she is perfect just the way she is. #proudlovatic
she was in pain so much :c #aftersimplycomplicated
Im literally crying, I have been bullied all my life and have suffered with not knowing what to do. I Just I hated myself and feeling I was worth less, and I was not good enough for anyone.... I am now 16, and still have this going on no one sticking up for me or caring about me!! I use to do things that I should of never done, and it breaks my heart when I hear such a pretty girl like Demi, had to go through horrible things like this!! It's crazy that a lot of us that go through bullying, find a way to cope with it by doing bad things, and feel like you should just give up, even though you never should!!! I am lucky that I found so many supportive people in my life like you Demi and now that I am able to just ignore it even though it hurts me at times!! I love you guys so much thanks for this inspiring video!! I love you Demi and Ellen
Proud to be a lovatic love you Demi xxxxxxxxxxxxx 💕💕💕💕💕
holy fucking questions Ellen.... like almost rude..
"ok so you were bulimic, is that right? anorexic too or just bulimic?"
"That started the cutting right? You cut yourself, because you felt so badly about yourself?"
I get this is an interview, but those questions sounded just so..blunt, like no big deal, out her so harsh, and it's almost like Ellen craves negative topics.
How about "Lets talk about your recovery with eating disorders and self harm..." rather than that other bullshit.
She was? Demi chose to go on the show to talk about this? Stop bitching
ellen is one of the least rude hosts out there. step on a lego,
Yeh that was my first reaction too
Emma Watson This is a fucking talk show.
twin ting I think she was trying to help guide her in the story she wanted to tell. I think it would be hard to be up there and having Ellen help walk her through is good.
This video made me cry. I'm one of those people that would say Demi's saved me. And Ellen's always made me happy when I was having a rough time. Without these two I don't know what my situation would be like.
i love this girl so much. struggling with some of those problems and she helps me. thank you demi.
She is beautiful person I love you
Demi, I know how u feel. I have depression and i did think about cutting and ending my life but i sought help and now i feel amazing! I've been bullied and criticized all my life but i have always had my family to help me through which i am very grateful for. Love you all so much! xx
1:13 she was still using WOW
I love Demi's outfits. She has really good tastes...
And I think that she's so brave to talk about her problems. Love her!
Omg I love her I've been here from the start and never leaving
I mean this so much - I'm crying so hard watchin this, demi is so inspirational and to know that I've got no chance of meeting her honestly breaks my heart, I love you so much demi and I know you might hear this a lot but I mean it, I really do mean it.
That is not what I expected to see. You don't see that a lot nowadays. I'm just glad if I ever worry about my weight I can look up to someone as awesome as Demi.
Its funny how she probably BELIEVED in every word she said about wanting to help people but she just couldnt help herself at the time.
I don't get why people bullied her. I guess it was because she was a whole lot better than all those low life people that were bullying her. I'm glad she is famous now because many people adore and love her and the people that bullied her are not famous and they should not be ever. I have been bullied. I just don't let it get to me at all. I almost ended up getting into a fight because some people just don't know who I am now. Then I used to be kinda week, and now the people that hurt me are afraid of me because I let them know that I wasn't afraid of them. I stood up for myself and I'm glad that the people that hurt and bullied me are now afraid of me because I, me personally can get real aggressive and I don't let anyone hurt me. They tell me something I'll tell them something back. They hit my I make sure it is the last time they hit me. If I do see someone else getting bullied I would stand up for them. People that bully are inconsiderate ass' and I'm not going to let them stop me from that I can accomplish.
I love Demi also
I don't care for her as a singer that much but she seems like a beautiful person and I think she should be proud of herself for conquering her demons. She seems really wonderful
Thank you Demi. You are perfect, and amazing!!!
It hurts to know that at the time of this video, she wasn't through with drugs yet
"There really needs to be a role model out there.. and for the first time in my life I feel like I am one " loved it..
Demi is my hero!!!:)
I want to punch the bullies that bullied our Queen Demi! 😡
She was bullied in high school and she fell into a deep depression. Now she speaks out against bullying and so do I. Bullying is a major problem in this country and it needs to be stopped.
So sad to watch this after her simply complicated documentary 😞
i don't know how, but everytime i watch one of these videos about demi i start my homework or just schoolwork right after.. i think it's because she have put so much work into coming where she is today and being happy so i realize that i need to get higher grades to study music and hopefully be a musician one day. demi inspires me in so many more ways than just this, and she's helped me through a lot. demi is my #1 rolemodel of all times. thank you so incredibly much.
i love you Demi so much
Proud lovatic
Ellen is the only talk show host I know who speaks intelligently, objectively and fairly about mental illness, drug/alcohol-related problems and other health issues. No offense to the other liberally-minded talk show hosts, I just have only seen hateful bigots use and try to shame mentally-ill persons on their show.
Demi has inspired me so much. I went through the same things she did and she's been a great help for me in my own recovery.
I love you demi your awesome
I love you so much beautiful angel 💜 My everything, my inspiration. I love you 💖
I swear I start crying when I hear Demi say what she has been through. She really is a role model not only to me but to many people throughout the world. WE LOVE YOU DEMI!!!!!!
Demi looks stronger and healthier than those skinny girls.
This made me cry. Demi is so strong and to be able to get better and speak about it to help others is so brave. She's an amazing role model, stay strong Demi ❤
So loud, so brave
Shes such an inspiration to her fans, it feels as if were all as one and can relate with each other, shes my role model and lots of others out there shes simply amazing.
She's come so far since this day. I'm sobbing.
i love her
She was on drugs this period
To think, she was lying about her recovery the entire time.... So sad
Demi Lovato is such an inspiration to me not only because she is talented in what she does, but because of her back story as well. I am 15 and I have gone through the same things as her and just listening to her music and even watching this interview shows me that life is worth living and that there is good in everyone no matter what anyone says. Everyone is perfect in their own way and no one should be picked on for what people may consider their "flaws". I think everyone should love each other because we all are so amazing and I would love to thank Demi for what all she does because she is truly my role model & if I were to ever meet her one day I'd probably bawl my eyes out. I love her!! She is the absolute best.
Demi, really skinny girls are still on the cover of Magazines sadly.
So what if she's a bit chubby or what ever,to use that as an excuse for all her issues is ludicrous.Alot of people with real issues are not as messed up as she is,i think she just has a really low self esteem of herself,thats her issue & not the bullying she's going on about,she comes out fake as far as im concerned.
***** Its called an opinion,& im sure you have yours so i guess there's something wrong with you!
kudos7777 I respect your opinion but if she wasn't bullied as bad as she was, her self esteem wouldn't be as low. Like she said, she had a lot of friends and then the bullying happened and they all left which made her think something was wrong with her. I was bulllied for 4 years so i know what she is talking about. She had bipolar disorder which is a real serious issue espicially if you are depressed like she was. I hope you respect my opposing opinion because i respect yours :)
Candy Cane In today's society we try to blame other people for our problems to avoid responsibility & celebrities like her are the worst culprits. As people we all have issues so imagine if we all resorted to substance abuse or whatever vice then later bitch about how its at disease coz that's what they're calling it now.
Let's be honest. In America bullying happens too often... American kids honestly.. Are weird.
Rhiannon Loughran ERROR 404
omg she was still doing cocaine around this time too :/ at least she's been clean for years now
So many celebrities r going through rough times and im glad we have a role model who will speak about her struggles and use them to inspire others every single day shes perfect inside and out
i am so incredibly sickened by the overall sexism the entertainment industry has, particularly women.
i know demi lovato is only one person, but she used her opportunity to highlight mental health issues very poorly, and in a sexist manner.
majority of people who commit suicide are male. majority of people with mental health issues are male. majority of people bullied in their formative years
of education and throughout are male. majority of people who self harm are male.
stop pushing the female agenda. there are so many groups already existing, with big celebrity names behind them for women, and very few for men.
because of people like demi lovato, who leave the male set completely unadressed, men do not feel comfortable to express their emotional or mental health problems,
because they don't feel it's normal because of what society around them are saying and the non conversation that exists. this obviously only hurts men more.
i am an actual feminist, unlike many who want to demonize men, or perpetuate female media, i believe both genders are equal.
ITS TIME THE CONVERSATION BECAME EQUAL. MENTAL HEALTH RIGHTS FOR MEN, AND NOT JUST THE HOMOSEXUAL ONES, HETEROSEXUAL MEN ALSO HAVE FEELINGS
AND PROBLEMS, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON EARTH.
+Matthew McManus I don't really see how she made her story sexist. She's a woman, she's going to do it from a woman's point of view. You can't say she did anything poorly because she shares her story and tries to help all genders not just girls. She helped me and my brother. She's tried very hard and has multiple charities.
Ariel Tindle she didn't mention men once is how it's sexist.she then went on to discuss mental health in general, and only how it affects women, acting as though men don't have problems also. in what context has she 'tried hard'? other than writing emotionally manipulative songs about a time in her life 10+ years ago?
you do realize that charities aren't in it to be charatible right? they make shit tonnes of money and less than 2% of dontated funds actually reach their 'targeted' recipients. money goes to advertising and marketing, paying staff, taxation (most are actually listed as business') and others before 'helping'. the money that does go into 'help' is generally payment to another organization, who in turn have to spend money on advertising, staff etc. in other words.. they get paid for nothing.
to think charities are good people is naive. the salvation army uses their profits to fund westboro baptist and anti gay organizations. cancer fund of america admits to only giving >1% as well as Operation Lookout National Center for Missing Youth $18.2 million per annum is donations, $14.7 million paid to staff and 0.0% actually given to helping people, meaning the head of the company profits 3.5million a year by actively not helping.
Seems like you did your research but as soon as you help people with things other than your judgmental opinions, you should really not judge other people. Demi Lovato is one person and she may not have brought up men or boys but I know she has helped some in many ways. Like I said before, she's a woman and she's going to do it from a woman's POV.
+Matthew McManus I understand your point but if you were trying hard to do something and may forget to bring up another gender or anything that people might find important, would you want someone to literally shame you in RUclips comments?
Ariel Tindle sure would. it's a cop out and your explanation is a cop out. she's a woman therefore she can only talk about women is why women in general and feminism are mocked. if people can't think outside of their own world or own experiences and do things to hurt others unintentionally, that is the definition of a psychopath, if she knows she's actively contributing to the culuture in which men can't be forthright with their mental health issues then she's a sociopath.
i'm not going to bother with this conversation anymore, it's clear you're not interested in equality or talking about mental health appropriately on a large scale but instead are more worried about a singer you enjoys public image, which isn't being tarnished by something as simple as youtube comments.
