Exposing SMG Max Ehlrich Video: • Why Demi Lovato and Ma...
Anna's Analysis Gaia Video: • Gaia TV: The Streaming...
Hello, Hello! This is the second (and final for now) video attempting to tell and unpack the wild life of Demi Lovato. From 2010, they've become a spokesperson for sobriety, released countless hit songs, relapsed, and gotten into all of the twitter drama possible. In fact, so much has happened that I'm sure I've left things out. So feel free to add your favorite Demi story I missed below. Just remember, they do use they/them pronouns and while some of their goofs are more harmful than others - we can all be kind and accepting of their gender identity. Thank you all for watching and hope you enjoy.

"I can't believe you remember me"
"Bitch you ruined my life"
Is the most relatable thing Demi has ever said wow
That sounds like a Load of BS 👀
bullies never remember being bullies😭😭 my childhood bully recently reached out to me on instagram bc she said she was thinking about “old friends” i was so confused bc, like demi, i was like you literally ruined my childhood LMAO.
ruined life ..lmao
A bit dramatic no?
its school. Not even the biggest part of your life unless you let it. You peak in hs & wanna mope ab kids being kids that on you tbh idk. Lots of ppl are mean, & ppl get over it…simple
@@Tw0Dots i mean it isn't THAT dramatic considering what the bullying led to.
@@Tw0Dots and thats how we know you never had to deal with bullying
The root of all Demi’s recent problems seems to be their access to Twitter. They need a social manager 😭
Loved this series! ❤️
Facts. I feel they should go Selena Gomez’s route and stay off social media. Demi is far too sensitive for it
She/her she changed her pronouns again
@Kristy Androgynos has nothing to do with who you are Androgynos is a style.There is not enough evidenz yet for non-binary being a real thing either, because there are a lot of disorders with the same symptoms.
@@avocado2567 Still says they/them on their IG bio :)
I get so disappointed every time I hear Demi’s mom talk. I swear, a lot of this could have been avoided if they had a better support system.
literally!!!
honestly though... i just rewatched her dancing with the devil episodes and the last episode, towards the end her mom was talking about how she's "not worried for her right now" and something within those few seconds of her speaking in that moment DID NOT sit right with me... like her mom seems like an airhead and completely out of touch...
@@whvtshernvme it's literally ALWAYS been like this, dude. it's so fucked up and makes me so mad. idk if you've watched other interviews or Demi's other 2 docs, she always seem unbothered and just with that "ohh, I didn't know anything" talk. f*cking BS. Dianna makes me sick and trust me, the whole fandom thinks so!!!
@@whvtshernvme So true… Demi’s mom always talks like her head it literally empty and like she lost all touch with reality. So sad, honestly.
I feel like studios that "hire" child stars should be obligated to get them therapy/psychological assessments..
The way Demi has had it out for Zendaya ever since Z was like 12 is insane. It’s even funnier that Zendaya has never once responded 💀
okay right ??? like damn 😭
Does anybody know why?? Lol is is because Z is skinny and pretty?
@@ValeriiaJ honestly I view Demi as very antiblack. She did the same thing to Nicki Minaj for no reason other than she was a black woman who didn’t give her attention.
You are wrong
@@Aggiefan9942 I’m not arguing with a stan miss ma’am 🤨
Please, please, PLEASE, can we get a doc like this on Drew Barrymore?! I’m still shocked how few YT docs there are that cover her incredibly fascinating story in the concise and fair way you have documented Demi’s story here. The more parts the better! This was wonderful. Drew is a true legend that deserves the same treatment and I know no one who could do it better ☺️
She may own the rights to her life story.? I have no idea how that stuff works
Who is Drew Barrymore, I'm English so idk maybe it's just an America thing.
@@illford an American actress
@@stephnicole3078 wow very insightful 😂
@@illfordlmao really
Pulled the country card, which makes no sense considering lots of Americans knows UK celebs & UK folks have definitely heard of American ones 😂 Google also exists bud, thats all on you
There was an interview from the time when they were touring with Nick Jonas where the interviewer asks them both what was the last thing that they googled. Nick says that he had goggled how many calories are in orange juice, and Demi says something like "wow that is the most hollywood thing to google", and Nick replies "no, that is the most diabetic thing I could've googled." I don't know if anyone else remembers this, but hearing the yogurt controversy reminded me of this because it is basically the same thing. Like they perceive any situation where people cut out certain foods as immediately being about diet culture and EDs, and can't seem to understand that sometimes it has to do with health reasons or just personal preferences even.
They keep doing that over and over again. The comments about Zendaya when she was a little girl and later the Barbie doll, the mermaid drawing, Lady Gaga’s performance, the Bad Blood video, the frozen yogurt, etc- like one incident like this, fine, but it’s a constant pattern with Demi that they have to make everything about them/their ED. When none of these things are about that! They’re constantly shaming women’s bodies and calling them ‘not normal’ and at some point we have to stop cutting them slack about it. As someone who’s struggled with an ED that’s absolutely a manifestation of the illness that it feels like *everything* is about that but that’s not an excuse for tearing other people down or making everything about yourself. You still need to recognize when your own behavior is toxic even if you think you have good intentions.
Bit late but completely agree. Most of my nutrition is via a feeding tube, but I can still manage a little bit to eat and drink by mouth. It means I have to really carefully calculate what I've eaten/drank in terms of calories to account for it when I'm running my formula nutrition so I don't gain too much weight (I needed to gain weight before but now I'm at the weight my dietician wanted me at, so I just need to try to maintain now). I need to also know fat and fibre content in snacks and meals as I have to avoid fat and fibre where possible and eat as much protein as I can as it's easier to digest (lean proteins like chicken and fish anyway, not beef or pork, meat alternatives contain too much fibre unfortunately).
Demi once shaded Nick for drinking orange juice... Like, orange juice? really!?
I'm assuming he googled the sugar content, not the carbs.
@@Nakia11798 I assume that too but I’m pretty sure he said carbs. Maybe he misspoke? The interview is “Nick Jonas & Demi Lovato play truth or dare”
@@Nakia11798 carbs turn right into sugars, especially for a diabetic
@@Nakia11798 Sugar is a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates like rice, bread, potatoes, etc, along with sugar, are the main things diabetics need to watch out for. Also, if you read a food label, you'll notice the sugars are considered a type of carbohydrate. Hope that clears things up :)
she’s very egotistical 😭
Demi is like this gen's version of Lindsay Lohan. You want the best for them but all they do is get messier and messier
So true. At least Lindsay figured out what her triggers were, in relation to Hollywood and the spotlight/media, which motivated her move to Dubai. It’s clear Demi struggles with social media, so maybe they should consider leaving permanently? I recently read that Selena, who also has her own history of mental health issues, has stayed away from the Internet for over four years, and she seems to be doing better for it. Everyone’s journey is different, but given how toxic social media is in general, Demi should seriously consider it.
And coincidentally Wilmer Valderama started dating Lindsay and Demi when they were 16 😞
@@epicgamer8117 omg what. I didn't know that!
@@milacruz3970 yes!! He was 25 & Lindsay was 16 when they started dating. Then when Wilmer was 29 he met demi and started dating her at 16! I can’t help but feel he had some influence on getting them into drugs
@@epicgamer8117 wait Lindsay is only 4 yrs older than Demi?!
What breaks my heart is that Demi seems to feel obligated to share or explain themselves so much. They're allowed to just live.
it’s crazy that their bully was probably just bullying them out of insecurity and didn’t even think they would remember them but what that girl did to them affected their entire life
Not only that but also their mom and dad. We can't place the blame solely on that one girl. Demi would have had issues regardless of that bully (not excusing them but Demi's surrounding environment was never ideal).
It's the story of a lot of bullying victims. I have PTSD, depression, and Social Anxiety Disorder from my experience with bullying, on top of the autism and OCD that I was born with. Bullying really messed me up. I self-harmed for two years and had to drop out of school. I used to binge-purge and was treated for that but was never diagnosed with an eating disorder, just disordered eating behaviours. I went to a community centre for two hours a day instead of school to do my GCSEs, and we could only do English and Maths there. i failed both of them. I had therapy twice a week with my country's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) for two years whilst I was going to the community centre as well. Survived two suicide attempts. I still have nightmares to this day about school. I still worry that my friends secretly hate me. I still have horrible panic attacks when a friend does leave me. I still can't go past my old school or even see a kid I don't know wearing that school uniform in town without my anxiety spiking. I'm 25 now, nobody I knew is still there anymore, but that doesn't matter when you're traumatised. Just seeing the school's logo is enough to send me into a tailspin. People really don't realise how badly bullying can affect someone. My PTSD, depression, and Social Anxiety Disorder is a big part of the reason why I can't work and am on government benefits instead. Bullying should actually be called peer abuse imo. It's one of the leading causes of PTSD, which I was shocked to find out when I got diagnosed. Before I got diagnosed, I just thought I was a wimp. My heart breaks for Demi. I couldn't even imagine having to call any of my bullies.
@@xxmakeuplover05xxYou can't say that, that bully didn't play a massive part in it though. Yes, Demi had a poor home environment as well, which didn't help, but she says herself that bully ruined her life. I think we should listen to her as to what she thinks were the big contributing factors for her. It's not solely that girl's fault, but a big part of it is
This reminds me of the saying, "to me it was traumatic but to you it was a Tuesday."
the thing you said about simon cowell is crazy actually. like it can't be a coincidence that the only 2 women on the show that season was 2 women who were basically in conservatorships
Also this Kesha thing...Demi speaking up about it was great because it raised awarness for all victims, Taylor actually helped Kesha. And the ''if I had 250 k dollars'' argument was so funny to me, Demi def has 250 k, their net worth is at the time was the highest of her career
Net worth also isn’t cash though so it’s likely she didn’t have liquid funds available or anything she could refinance for that amount at the time who knows tho
I remember so many people called her out for that saying “you charge 10,000 dollars for a meet&greet, it’s not like you’re poor”.
I love how you manage to be critical of Demi's not-so-good actions without being totally hateful. Very didatic and well-put video. Thank you for this incredible dive
Right?! It’s so so hard to find Demi videos like this. Most people either mock them relentlessly or defend them unquestioningly
What not so good action did they yall are weird for villanising them considering what they’ve been through and the context of it all yall need to leave demi alone
@@MyDemi4ever did you watch the video? There was no villanising and what things Demi has done that are not ok (which everyone has done not ok things it’s called being human) are clearly told and shown in both the videos
One thing that has always annoyed me about Demi’s approach to talking about like women’s bodies and body types is if there is EVER a slimmer/skinny woman she always states and implies those bodies and body types aren’t “normal”. What she really wants is variety but she goes about it all wrong by saying there are no “normal” bodies present in anything that contains skinny women and that’s not okay nor supportive of all women.
THIS! As if women can't be naturally skinny!
I'm also in ED recovery so my take is naturally biased, but that exact behavior makes me think she hasn't even begun to unpack her ED. I'm sure she's doing the actual, physical work she says she's doing, but on a psychological level all I see is that envy of body types that you perceive as unattainable for yourself and lashing out as a result. It's really sad and I really, really get it. But I seriously hope she deals with that. Because none of those women did anything to deserve her scorn for merely existing.
I mean, majority of body positivity is what this is; everything is okay except if you have a conventionally attractive body shape.
To me, it screams jealousy. Slim women are aloud to be slim. Not every women is naturally slim. As long as they’re healthy what does it matter.
Swine is about SA and how disgusted it makes the victim feel…about what happened to them, about the person who did it to them. Just makes you want to throw up thinking about it. I also think Gaga wanted people to feel the proper amount of discomfort that is supposed to come from those feelings and that song. So I vibe with Gaga’s creative decision here
i agree it's incredibly cathartic for me. i don't see what the harm would've been in her providing her live audience some warnings tho, bc it's not healthy for everyone to see someone purging live.
I AGREE i also find throw up to be artistic if done the right way as someone who has thrown up their food
Thank you for explaining! ❤
I hate vomit and im glad i wasn't at this concert 🤭🤭
In hindsight, what Gaga was trying to do makes absolute sense. I don’t think she had reveled her own SA at that time, and I think she said she regrets recording Do What You Want because it was a twisted way of getting power back. I think she evolved and has addressed her trauma gracefully since then.
Unfortunately, I think Demi's OD caused some permanent damage. They've said that they still have hearing and vision problems, but there's also a stark difference in personality, logic, and processing information after 2018.
Makes sense, TBIs often result in personality changes, increased impulsivity and mood changes and that is even without a history of mental illness.
I really liked your deep dive. I was such a big Demi fan growing up, they’ve totally lost me now. What I’m most frustrated with in regards to the hypocrisy is that Demi gets ~so triggered so easily~ then does a song with fucking G-Eazy!! As if Halsey hadn’t shown all the ways he abused her in her own art (songs, music videos, poetry). Demi gave a known abuser a platform for the two of them to throw a pity party. Such bs.
fr
she's always been sort of hypocritical in that way. she surrounds herself with awful people while preaching about all of the the bad things THOSE PEOPLE do. it's always made me mad. especially the whole "im a feminist" thing while bringing down, mind you OPENLY, young and intelligent women.
i would love to hear you cover other celebrities like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, etc. i love the way you’re telling Demi’s story! it’s very respectful and entertaining :)
mila tequila has some good deep dive vids about britney and lindsay
And Elton John would know a thing or two about sobriety because he was previously on hard drugs too. In fact the song "I'm Still Standing" was kind of his clapback at people in the industry who said the only way he would go out was through OD.
One minor correction! The Israel-Palestinian conflict is not "centuries long", it's less than a hundred years old and one of the primary causes was the British empire, as they love to do. That portrayal as this "ancient feud" is meant to make it feel inevitable, and removes accountability for those who are committing atrocities in that corner of the world.
Edit a year later to clarify: it's not a conflict, it's a coloniser (Israel) occupying land that they invaded 🍉
dayum its been a year since your comment
😢
i can’t only assume that ‘centuries’ and ‘decades’ was confused while ashley was speaking, excellent point to make though !!!
🍉🍉🍉
And it’s not a conflict it’s an occupation
swine is a song about SA, and about how disgusting a victim feels afterwards. i’m not saying it was the best choice ever but i don’t think her reasoning behind it had anything to do with bulimia/EDs
^^ I was gonna say this, I think it was a metaphor that was not ED-related
Exactly
I really love Gaga & I wasn’t the biggest fan of this performance because I have a weak stomach, however I am a victim of SA & understood where Gaga was coming from. Gaga has got to know not everyone will listen to the whole album or her interviews, so I’m sure she wasn’t surprised with all the black lash.
this is all true, i just feel like a trigger warning or something before the show could have been useful because weather it relates
to eating disorders or not seeing someone purging/throwing up on stage like that even as a performance could be very triggering for someone with an eating disorder
when you talked about demi getting a sponsorship from gaia online i honest to god thought you were talking about that old 2000s social media dress up game/website at first 😭😭
😂😂 boxxxxxy
Yeah, 'cause she accidentally misspoke. The company the sponsored Demi was actually just called Gaia, not Gaia Online.
thank you for handling the way you Demi's story so gently and respectfully, I feel like you're such a warm person in real life just by the way you carry yourself and manage to be funny while being completely respectful and open-minded. very much enjoying your videos ! 💕
Thank you!! unfortunately i'm a nightmare in real life 💕
@@ashleynorton seriously so much respect for the way you told Demi’s story I’ve watched so many videos and so many people are so cruel towards her for no reason really and it just sucks I grew up adoring Demi and it’s very hard to see the route she’s taken
@@mychannel8809 People have some personal vendetta against Demi for some reason. I have never seen so many random people pressed at a elebrity trying to figure themselves out and just live. But here we are, even in the comment section under this video. Insane.
I feel like they are a perfect example of performative activism,,, if you don't want to be criticized, don't share your thoughts and opinions on a massive public platform
Yes!! Thank you for saying what I’ve been feeling for years
Not everyone had to come out and speak about everything that is going on. Taylor decided to privately support an artist and not make it public because it’s not about her.
And Taylor is Taylor, Demi is Demi please don't compared persons, no body talk about Taylor
@@mypost4550 ok?
Because Demi made it public so it had a connection. Demi shouldn't have put it in Twitter because said situation was none of Demi's business.
It is insane that they continued to work and have a career during all this. I would have completely shut down, which makes me think that they have the core issue of being a workaholic and only finding self-worth through their production/work
Yeah I agree and as an ED survivor especially the artist making me skinnier with bigger boobs would make me feel really uncomfortable
I really think Demi has good intentions, she just had a tendency to view herself as the main character a lot of the time, when sometimes she should just let people have their moment. Also, as someone with severe bipolar disorder, I can relate to the grandiose and impulsivity that come with manic episodes….for that reason, I never post ANYTHING without waiting at least 30 minutes and giving myself time to think it through. For that reason, I only post or comment sparingly and have completely abandoned twitter for over 5 years now. I know she’s struggling, but she’s also not THAT naive…she knows her issues and she also knows the power and influence she holds. In my opinion, she’s just not stabilized yet….and hey, neither am I! Bipolar disorder can take a lifetime to stabilize and everyone is different. I wish her the best, but I no longer follow her online because a lot of her posts can be very triggering to me due to various reasons. She’s so unbelievably talented, though. ❤️
I enjoy Demi's music a lot, but truly their lack of self-awarness and scandals cloud their talent. They're my favorite vocalist and even though they might not be the best songwriter, they can write some catchy songs and perform them flawlessly. Even now their songs seem to always have a comeback, the problem is their public presence.
I completely agree. Beautifully articulated. They lack a ton of self-awareness, maturity, and real growth, and it’s very frustrating.
What is your favorite song?
@@TheRealGabrielleThomas Out of her older stuff is Don't forget. I became obsessed with the Confident album so out of it is Wildfire. I like a few ones of every project since and I'm so excited for Holy Fvck, the two singles have been amazing 😍
The research level and editing of these two videos was fantastic. I think this further proves no celebrities should be role models. People have faults, they personally have a lot of trauma and hope they one day find some peace. Also I agree, they need to get this person off social media.
I have sympathy for them, but at the same time, they can't keep using their illness as the scapegoat. I did the same as an angry bulimic pre teen (now 28) and said lots of things I regret. I treated everything as a trigger instead of either confronting or accepting what I cannot change (ex: the dessert shop owner business debacle). The greatest lesson I learned through therapy is learning to cope with way too many triggers. If it weren't for that, I'd probably still be a bitter person angry that people don't see my POV and can't adhere to ~my~ level of comfort (not their fault if they can't).
Edit: my comment is obviously more geared toward their ED and related outbursts, not substance abuse. I cannot speak on that personally, but either way I wish them peace at some point. I don't think they're a horrible person, they just happen to need extensive help.
They? Are there multiple personalities? lol.
@@pobster88j94 LOL. That's a good one. No, I'm just trying to avoid running into the whole pronoun argument. Do I agree with it entirely? Nope. But I'll still try to respect the person and their wishes.
@@pobster88j94 singular “they” has been used consistently as a pronoun since the f’ing 1300s. It was literally only in the 18th century that certain grammarians started deciding that “they” could only ever be plural. Many of those same grammarians used similar arguments to claim singular “you” was also incorrect, so “you” was only used as a plural for a while - though as YOU no doubt know, as I am singularly referring to YOU right now, that eventually fell out of fashion. Kind of like your tired ass joke about they/them pronouns 🙄. If “you” can be singular and plural like it originally was, so can “they”.
Edit- and I don’t even like Demi, so I’m not saying this as a defensive stan, and I’m a cis woman who’s very comfortable with my she/her pronouns, so I’m not offended on a personal level. Just tired as hell of seeing the same stupid jokes about a word that’s been used as both singular and plural since at least 1375.
Yeah exactly. Like I understand that eating disorders, mental illnesses and addictions etc. are serious problems, but that doesn’t mean it can be used as an excuse or scapegoat for your actions. They can’t expect everyone to cater to them all the time. Sure they have their struggles, but it’s also their responsibility to do what’s best for them. No one else can or should be expected to fix their struggles, that’s their responsibility to do themselves. If they know they get triggered by things like fan art or photos of models on the internet etc. it’s their responsibility to do whatever they need to do in order to avoid those triggers. If they need to get off the internet, they should do that. They should be mature enough to understand that the entire world can’t change to fit their needs, their recovery is in their hands only and it’s up to them to make the right decisions for their life and no one else’s. I don’t have any personal experiences with eating disorders, but I’ve dealt with other mental health problems and I can say from experience that you will not get better by blaming your problems on mental illness, when you do that you’re just feeding the mental illness and letting it control your life. To heal you need to make the effort to not let it control you anymore and no one but yourself can do that. If you sit and wait for the world around you to do something about your problems you’ll never get better, you need to be responsible and fix yourself instead of expecting others to fix you. And that’s what Demi does wrong. They’re waiting for the world to fix them when what they really need to do is make that effort themselves and do what’s best for them and not let triggers control them.
@Caitlyn R 👏👏👏
Demi has one of the best vocals of our generation. It’s a shame they have struggled so much with addiction and mental health problems.
The chokehold the gold Egyptian book had on me. You resurrected many memories. This is weird. The dragon one slapped too, but you have to read the fairy one.
I don’t like the way Demi talked about the bad blood video by saying they see no “normal” bodies. What does that even mean? Everyone is different and by saying that they aren’t normal, isn’t Demi just perpetuating that there is a correct body type? I get what Demi is trying to say but it just seems backwards to me because I know they would uproar if someone said a larger body was abnormal (which I’m not saying). Idk
I think they just doesn’t know how to say what they mean. Putting myself in their shoes, I don’t even know if they know what they mean. I’m sure they gets bombarded with mixed messages about food and image their whole life. Don’t have an eating disorder but you can’t have cake for your birthday. Don’t be a bad role model but we can’t have you looking chunky on camera. I’m watching you. You know? It sounds miserable and triggering.
Edited to correct gender slip up my b
It’s code for she feels fat and projects that insecurity onto others who have the body she feels is ideal.
No it’s the average sized person is a 14-20 and it was all but one or two model industry approved small sized women society has on the top of the hierarchy that’s systemic and not about feelings. But Demi is also a white feminist and hasn’t done the true work to speak on most issues they try to they are always out of their depth and it shows.
That's the irony. When someone hates themselves and is in a bad place, everyone who is opposite to them must be ugly or not normal. Only a healthy happy individual can accept that others are fine and different and not take offense to that. Demi has been toxic to others many times, and i do understand that it's their own suffering and insecurities that cause this, but still they have the means to get therapy and help for this. Many people are in pain and don't constantly try to bring others down.
What I always understood from it was that there isn't a "normal" body in the sense of a certain body type being considered normal, "standard". Because being skinny is what many consider to be what's normal and having fat is a transgression from the norm, a problem. And most women that are skinny to that degree are not like that because it's their nature, they starve themselves to achieve it. Look at Taylor herself, she talked about her eating disorder. She used to be so unbelievably thin and now that she's in a better place, her body looks much more healthy. I agree Demi shouldn't have said it like that, it seemed rude and destined to misconception, but if that's what they meant, it's not wrong.
Probably going to edit this comment a few times. After editing I realized I missed another minor but still classic twitter scandal.
The lady Gaga vomit was for an artistic purpose related to her experience with SA - was not aware before I posted which is completely on me - there is still something to be said about the shock factor but lady gaga was not just employing vomit for no reason, to be clear.
In 2017, Demi took a 23andme test and found out that they mostly Spanish, Native American, Scandinavian, British, and Irish. They then had a follow up tweet that just said
"and I'm one percent African!!!!" This combined with their tattoo of Africa (yes the continent) they got after a charity trip to Kenya led to quite the twitter roast. Demi later posted,
"Just thought it was cool and totally random. Yall are mean af. twitter sucks." Which yes, it does. I think everyone besides Demi has realized twitter is not the best space for them.
Hey just wanted to point out that demi no longer uses twitter. If you scroll through it that social media is run by an intern now and they just repost everything from instagram.
Social media is a hellscape. Anyone with mental health issues like them should avoid twitter, tumblr, tiktok, and a whole slew of other sites.
Only place I feel safe is youtube.
as someone who relates to demi lovato and literally shares their bday so,,their personality reminding me of me sm, it’s so nice seeing someone talk ab their story on here with sm respect and honesty with real facts. had to subscribe!
WAIT I SHARE A BDAY W DEMI TOO💙 I relate to them so much and see myself in them a lot. They are so real and open, they are paving the way to de stigmatize so many issues, they mean well and their impact is huge. It’s a shame people are so horrible to them and use them as a punching bag. The way they are brave enough to be this open is something people should appreciate. They deserve everything
Your 2 Demi videos were so incredibly well done. You held them accountable in a kind, respectful way. These vids made me subscribe and I can’t wait to check out your other work and watch your channel inevitably grow.
What makes me sad about Demi is that you can see Demi is on the right most of the times, but they can't express it. As a victim, they know what is good and bad but they have not received the proper training to stand by them beliefs. They should have educated themselves, go to courses, look out for role models that could help them vocalize their thoughts at the proper time with the proper words but instead they remain an (well intentioned) angry, resented victim that is not really helping anybody. Not even themselves.
I think that's why people are frustrated with demi - they have access to the best mental health resources etc and yet what they have accessed hasn't seemed to give them the tools they need.
Just a tip, not all sober living facilities provide counseling or really any treatment. There are many such places that just provide housing and drug test.
Yeah most sober living and halfway houses don't. I've personally been to 6, it's only really rehabs that handle that then everything else is JUST transitional living.
I thought this was going to be boring and long(due to some RUclipsrs being just clip batters), but girl you have a gift for storytelling! Your voice is so nice and you try to be so fair with people even if you don't seem to agree with them and that's just so refreshing!
I feel like a lot of demis problems could've been avoided if their mom had been a better support system. I think the lack of good support and quick disregard for her own problems and demis from a young age really shaped the way Demi viewed support and recovery themselves. For demis mom it seemed like noticing the problem was enough effort for her and I can really see that reflected in the way Demi treats thier own issues and just has a problem with projecting hatred at themselves onto others. It also sounds like addiction might be a genetic predisposition especially if their father really did die from overdose. I hope they get true recovery one day I really truly do wish the best for them
That first clip of Demi (0:00-0:19) is SO relatable gahhh I'm neurodivergent and I misunderstand questions and answer way too literally like that all the time!!!!
Honestly I find it really hard to know how to feel about Demi. I can really empathize with some parts of their story and I think they deserve to get some slack after everything they've been through... but man, some of the stuff they've done just feels so immature and petty and it makes it hard to jive with their personality
Also, throughout all the controversies talked about in this video I don't think there was One. Single. Time. they actually fully owned up to their mistakes, which is very telling..
I wanted to touch on the “celebrating losing weight” statement cus i can see how it may look from the perspective of others who don’t struggle with ED’s. I, myself, have stuggled with bulimia on and off from a very very young age (i’m 23 now) and I still remember how proud I was of myself for losing over 20 lbs safely. ED’s have alot to do with control and I had finally felt like my mental health was under control to a point where i was able to drop pounds in a healthy way, rather than purging, laxatives, and skipping meals- i was now eating healthier foods, not binging, and hiking for an hr a day. It just feels alot better knowing you aren’t sacraficing other parts of your body/ your mental health to get where you wanna be and I understood why she felt the need to post that. It’s a big step !! I was a huge lovatic from 2011-2019 and I still support demi so it’s funny to see you go in order, I saw all this happening in real time and it was always hectic in that fandom. 🤣🤣
that's a really important point I hadn't thought of before you said it. being able to loose weight in a healthy way that is separate from an ED is important and anyone who can reach that point in their recovery deserves to feel proud of themselves and the work they've put into recovery
i was a giant demi fan, but ultimately what made me step back was the whole froyo situation. it genuinely was the thing that made me "snap". still wish them the best in the world, but it just became too much
Another banger. You did this video with care, while also still being funny. Looking forward to more videos like this.
Imagine being a bully and the person you bullied is now Demi Lovato, show/movie star and platinum musician. Then imagine that you receive a random phone call from her, and _they_ apologize to _you._ I would be SO in shock
They*!!
But I didn't understand why Demi apoligized to her ?
@@leadurand3628 right?? like if i ever was in a sitation where "you gotta make ammendments to people you have resented" you could not PAY ME to call and apologize to the guys that bullied me in middle school. Hell, you couldn't pay me to apologize to the friends that stabbed me in the back in highschool, and I have resented them the most for the last 10 years xd
@@PolliitoAle i wouldn't either. I'd rather eat shit than apologize to any of those people
@@alicia5925 like, were they maybe just dumb teenagers? Yes. Are they now better people as adults? Lmao who tf knows, certeinly not me and I'll be damn if I'm the one to reach out first 😂 they fully earned my resentment, I'm the one paying therapy now bc of them. I had trust issues and social anxiety for years.
Demi is very talented. I was a huge fan, had the book, had the skincare, supported whatever they did. They need to get off social media honestly. They tweet like a regular degular person after talking about lady gaga having influence, like.. I'm all for free speech, but Demi just digs themselves into holes on the regular. I hope they can surround themselves with people who truly love them and have their best interest at heart.
Also, love the song Swine. It's from album Artpop that most people didn't listen to, but if you did then you'd see why the puking thing was weirdly fitting for that era. Edit: I see the criticism of it being irresponsible. I'm just saying if you know anything about that era... It's not surprising
Nicki Minaj didn’t just not tag Demi, she kicked Demi off the red carpet. They were supposed to share a designer and take pics with him as his dates but Nicki was so clearly mean to Demi even in pics (she was glaring Demi with intense dirty looks), that Demi felt unwanted at the event and left triggered and depressed. Mind you Demi was a fan of Nicki so for someone you like to be so mean to you, yeah it hurts. Still Demi doesn’t care and still streams Nicki, but no longer is a fan from afar it seems.
Yes, they both were supposed to walk down the red carpet and take photos with Jeremy Scott (as they were both beginning a partnership with Moschino) however, I don’t think Nicki was aware that she was going to be photographed with Demi as a trio. I love Nicki but she is a diva and will certainly get her way. She was angry and kicked Demi off the carpet, leading to the end of Demi’s partnership with Moschino entirely.
This is in no way Demi’s fault. Demi didn’t instigate anything. I really think it was a failure of whoever planned this whole Moschino trio mess. They should’ve let the two walk the carpet separately and they could’ve avoided the drama all together.
Wow Nicki is so immature for that. But then again I've never really cared for her.
@@epicgamer8117 Being a "diva" isn't an excuse for treating people like shit, it's just a fancy word for saying you're an awful human being.
Where's your source for this information? I just would like know for someone whose not really up to date with this stuff. But it sounds unrealistic for a celebrity to kicked off a red carpet. Unless they do something crazy and are escorted out by security.
A very unimportant distinction - Gaia TV is the pseudosciency streaming service, whilst Gaia Online is (was?) the anime inspired, geeky/nerdy social networking forum site lmao
I was so confused for a second 😂
And then 17/29 came out after all of your hard work 🥲 a third video someday, please?
I truly enjoyed this two-part video essay about Demi Lovato. Very well-spoken, very well written, and your research was extensive. I appreciate the fact that you acknowledged Demi's past mistakes in a respectful manner. Demi is one of my favorite musical artists of all time.
That Max Ehrich and Selena montage is SO FUNNY oh my god!
Max is my best friend. I didn’t get to this point in the video. But he’s an incredible person. I’ve known him since we were 5 years old. So however this video skews him - oof. All he EVER cared about was her CONTINUED recovery ❤️🩹 I was there.
@@brookehenderson5762 okay brooke, thanks for sharing, it's adorable you stand up for your friend. I didn't say anything bad about him, just thought the way she edited the montage was funny!
This video was perfectly written + delivered! I was HOOKED from start to finish. Instantly subscribed. 😭 now i’m gonna go watch part 1 lol
They also promoted weight loss tea!
Loving this series, it's fair and respectful and a bit more original, I can tell you've done research in places other people haven't such as the book and interviews xx
this is such a good deep dive! cant imagine the amount of work that was put into this
I actually really like "California Sober" 😭 lol. I was obSESSED with that album the whole year, and it's criminal how no major hits came out of it.
anyway, you summed it up perfectly when you said it's one foot in and one foot out being a fan of Demi. i *want* to support them because i relate to them a lot and admire them in many ways, but they are sooo problematic and cringey and i am concerned for their recent behavior.
Idk if I would personally describe them as cringey or "so" problematic, but its a pretty nuanced topic, so... honestly, you're really not wrong. But also liKE SAME OMG I lowkey screamed irl (jokingly & dramatically ofc 😹) when Ashley said that BUT I then the reverse happened when they said they like those plant based cookies I already forgot the name of, to which I immediately had to check myself so as to prevent the hypocrisy lMAOnvfgdbvfb
The long term treatment for Ed recovery and Addiction is actually pretty similar. Crisis management is what looks very different. If she struggles with one she’ll struggle with the other. If she gives up on one (ie, when she gave up on being sober/went “California sober”) she’s given up on the other as well, as the treatments build off the same base skills.
Just a quick side note! I think you mentioned that the issues in Israel and Palestine are centuries old, when actually the nakba (arabic for catastrophe) began in 1948 when Israel was created and thousands of palestinians were forcibly displaced. It’s a common misconception that this has gone on for centuries, when in reality Palestinian Jews and Muslims coexisted prior to British occupation and the creation of Israel. Don’t mean to be rude by correcting you either, it’s just important to mention in regards to the reason for Palestinian resistance :)
If by “coexisted” you mean that Jews were experiencing antisemitism, yeah, they were “coexisting”. What a twisted way of trying to talk about the conflict. Jews were miserable here before they got independence in their land. They bought lands legally and decided to have a country on their own lands, and only after being attacked by 4 different armies did the Nakba (which is horrible) happened. If you wanna talk about history and correct her, at least don’t be biased and tell half the story. P.S.- Demi’s only mistake here was that they apologized for visiting a holy site. Many artists come and throw concerts in Israel and it’s only a big deal if you make it a big deal. People all over the world deserve to listen to music and Demi can choose to visit a country without people making them seem like the bad guy for it.
P.S.S. Palestinian resistance is in the shape of terror against civilians. Calling terrorism resistance is a terrible look.
After the froyo thing & after they came out as non binary, it's rare to find a video about Demi where
1) their pronouns are respected
2) their issues are being talked about with understanding and patience
So I thank you for that and I really wish all creators that decide to talk about Demi do so in the same respectful/considerate way you did here.
I've been a Lovatic forever (for 14 years now lol, grew up with them), I love them so much AND I think there are many things wrong with their personality.
It feels like I've known them for so long, their good parts AND their awful ones. Part of being a fan of someone for REAL is acknowledging when they mess up, analyse their harmful attitudes and know that they CAN do and SHOULD do better next time. Because people grow and learn.
Although people want famous artists to do things right without ever making several mistakes apparently...
Demi has grown up publicly and not only that, they are the kind of person that likes to speak their mind. Which is one thing. Another thing, is when they speak without really taking the time to think things through. And that's Demi's main problem.
They rarely set (or even see) boundaries, they take everything to the extremes and they're not used to do some balance and live a life with tranquility and light, controllable emotions. It seems that they don't know who they are without excesses, without putting their whole heart and mind in absolutely every step they take. My bet is their loved ones aren't able to support them and guide them in the way that they so desperately need, and I'm not saying their family should do everything for them, but their family has been SO enabling and bland towards them and it seems also that Demi hasn't found the right therapists YET.
It hurts my soul because it seems that Demi is CONSTANTLY throwing their soul onto something (or some relationship), losing themselves. They've never been in control of their own self. It's scary, dangerous and concerning.
Their personality annoys me many times. They're not someone I'd say 'oh I'd like to be friends with' BUT STILL I love them so much that words can't explain (because loving someone doesn't necessarily mean you'd want to be friends with them), love them genuinely and when you love someone, sometimes it's not a matter of liking their personality anymore but a matter of looking after them, being excited when they're doing something they're proud of, supporting their journeys, their accomplishments, wishing the best to them, being by their side...
So no, Demi is not someone easy to deal with. But is someone WORTH LOVING.
It's worth hoping their better days will come, worth understanding, it's worth defending them from people who judge their mistakes as if they comitted the worst crimes in the world, when they have clearly done more good than harm...
They've been a trailblazer. In speaking up for uncomfortable, awful things. In encouraging so many people and leaders to prioritise mental health and prioritise trying to understand the dark, heavy, sharp things that most society avoids acknowledging.
Demi might be an example that being humans consists in the f*cked up, difficult thing' and not only the 'glow up', 'doing great' part. Do they take it to the extremes? Yes. Do they need to work on the way they perceive things? Yes. But SOMEONE had to pave the raw way to break society's rules of being silent and hiding the uncomfortable, hurtful stuff. Their contribution to mental health specially in young people is massive and undenniable.
And of course, when they're not messing up, they're a LOVELY person, so talented, funny, unique, smart, loving, helpful, creative, unforgettable.
LOVED the video! Such a great work and admirable approach. I'm definitely subscribing.
Their pronouns aren't respected because they were announced as a way to push aside the froyo drama. No one decides they're nonbinary all of a sudden right after a controversy. If their pronouns are REAL, they should have waited until the controversy was long forgotten instead of "coming out" as a distraction.
@@Nakia11798 So coming out has to be planned? You know all the NB people in the world to conclude that all of them came out at a time that wasn't controversial in their lives? Besides Demi being the messy person that they've been, has been constantly in controversies so it's not like they could have ever came out at a 'good' time... If their intention was to come out as a 'distraction' it doesn't make sense, 'cause it made things worse.
They'd been clearly keeping in secret for months that they identify as non binary and it just came to a point where they couldn't hide it anymore, besides being comfortable with one's lgbtq+ identity takes time (it happened to me too), it's such a fragile thing that someone else saying 'you should've come out before or after' is unfair. To me they just felt the emotional release after the album came out and felt free enough then (coinciding with the podcast -a podcast is made to express oneself openly...) to vocalize their NB identity journey.
I think that with the pronoun thing it's because it wouldn't be hard to believe that Demi would use the Trans/ non binary community to get attention. It seems like it's just a matter of time before that headline pops up.
So well said 💙 this is exactly how I feel. They aren’t respected by the public and used as a punching bag because they are speaking out about things nobody else will and people don’t take them seriously when in reality this is serious and Demi is only trying to do good. They mean well and are trying their best. they deserve all the love.
So ridiculous, she's started going by she/her pronouns again. If she wants her pronouns to be respected she shouldn't keep changing them. She looks like a woman, she was born a woman, and she has a woman's name.
Seems odd to leave out that time Demi tweeted about hiring a sex worker to assault their sleeping employee. It's a very messed up story and I'd encourage looking into it. This is a great couple of videos regardless!
HOLY CRAP i had those dragonology/wizardology/egyptology books as a kid and i ADORED them, ive been struggling to remember what they were called thank you for that
As someone who also had body dysmorphia, on the mermaid drawing… I can say when an art teacher drew a sketch of me post partum half nude. Seeing myself through someone else’s eyes was soooo damn healing.
When the person asked what's your favourite dish.. I legit thought of meals..
Then demi starts talking about mugs and made me be like :(
I've seen someone's suggestion that Demi didn't want to get involved into any type of food conversation because of their ED, so they answered like that. Seems believable to me.
@@katekhardy ah yeah I forgot about her ED. It does sound more understandable now you mentioned it
thank you for talking about Demi with respect (it's a shame that we have to thank you for the respect) anyway I'm glad you talk about Demi from a fair point of view, they went through a lot and people just judge without knowing anything about what It happens that I hate that everyone makes fun of her physique and the truth is that Demi disappointed me a lot last year but this year since I published that they is sober and no longer gets into trouble, I like their a lot, they is a human being and they is wrong, the world does not he is prepared to talk about addictions and eating disorders despite the fact that it is something important, I just hope and their new music helps their career because they are very talented
Wish it was even more detailed. More specific. Her relationship with Miley was left out, many small incidents but nevertheless great video. Selena has to be next and I‘d encourage you to dive deep into her alcohol/substance struggles, cover ups, lupus story, Twitter/insta beefs with job and his flings etc!
JB*
Absolutely yes!!!! Would love a Selena video with all of that covered!
The way that she cut off Francia after taking her kidney and continued to drink alcohol is such a b*tch move.
@@Sofiaode18 francia showed with selena just days ago and selena is whole adult and you ain't her mom to talk about what she should eat or drink chill
@@Sofiaode18 they are still friends. That popular gossip RUclipsr makes random claims with no backing.
How do you not have 1 million subscribers already. You’re so thorough, kind and well spoken. You’re amazing. P.s plant based eater here too 🥰
Poot Lovato has to be one of the funniest things that has ever happened on the internet
Great video!! I think after they made their documentary “Dancing with the Devil”, I completely wanted to drop ever talking about Demi with anyone else. Not just because of course I felt bad for Demi (doesn’t mean Demi is excused from any wrong doings) but it was the part when they mentioned due to their last OD and almost died, Demi had permanent brain damage. I always hated that Tabloids or News Articles NEVER mentioned that about Demi post airing their series.
I love that the microphone shadow is contouring your cheek for you 🤣
These videos are great. The way you covered her story in a respectful and still open/honest way. Tysm.
Their *
These videos were really good and I enjoyed the nuance you brought to the story. I would encourage you to research more about ways to get sober, though. What you said in that section implies that you don’t have much experience with substance abuse and the sobriety journey. The abstinence only model is not the sole way to get sober and while Demi’s “California sober” comments were not in great taste, AA doesn’t work for everyone and treating abstinence only like the sole legitimate option doesn’t help those people.
I actually did use Devonne by Demi, and while it didn’t ruin my skin, I don’t remember it helping it in any way😬
you know, celeb skin care lines have done worse
When I was in 10th grade I got it for Christmas and I loved the way it smelled but damn it broke me tf out. Me being such a huge lovatic, I kept using it, smh.
@@crystalclear675 you are ICONIC 🌻🌸👌😭
Yeah it was essentially lavender scented cetaphil but it didn’t break me out or anything so really not a terrible product
I feel like Demi’s mom knows more then she is putting on. The Jonas bros really used demi until she had nothing left.
It feels to me like they used each other
Overexercising (if far exceeding caloric intake to a dangerous degree) is an ED and it often flies under the radar. Just feel like it should get some more awareness since it may seem healthy on the outside
a full hearted Lovatic here, i really enjoyed this video and agree with a lot of things you said. thank you for talking abt them so respecfully. appreciate you and this video.
losing my shit bc the most replayed part on this vid is POOT
You're awesome at this type of long form analysis of famous people definitely do more of it!
thanks for making this ! i'm in recovery for substance abuse and could relate to some of the messiness. food issues are a huge issue for people in sobriety and it's tough. i couldn't imagine going through all of that in the public eye, it seems like all the attention just made their problems worse. Addiction is a self-centered disease and it can be easy to just act out and blame others. seems like you tried to understanding of all of this in your video!
im so happy youtube put your acacia video in my recommended because now I'm addicted! love your channel, definitely subscribed!
I’m so hooked on these, you do such a great job
Puking was probably the most vanilla thing happening on Lady Gaga’s stage in the 2010s lol.
Holy shit that short little bit about the egyption, magic, and dragon books. The ones you used in the photos were the exact ones I had as a kid, actually stole my mind and transported me back to being a child for a few seconds there. Like actually just took me back, instantly, that was a weird feeling.
I’m trying to understand if Demi is just too open about too much, or if she thinks she is the only person who has ever gone through something hard/has abandonment issues/bulimia/had pressure due to the spotlight/been bullied/etc… I don’t know if I’d call it playing the victim…
@ᴄᴏᴜʀᴛɴᴇʏ ᴡʜɪᴛᴍᴏʀᴇ Demi is human, you needing to go to the extreme end of things just shows you don’t care about nuance . Demi has definitely been in the wrong but been a bully ? That’s beyond dramatic and a hyperbole. Demi is way too open and comfortable being open . Demi knows the relationship they have with their fans , and the impact demi has on them and chooses to share things because they know they’re not the only one going through shit because fans always hit Demi up and stop Demi to tell them how much they’ve helped them handle issues in their own lives , demi absolutely does not have a victim mentality . Demi chooses to be an example, for better and worse , and is never scared to own up to their shit . You’re just not comfortable with celebss being human, and it shows . You’re dramatic and trying to paint a braid brush for a human being who’s capable of being wrong . Except Demi always apologized and owns up to when they are in the wrong. Demi has helped and saved thousands and thousands of people with being open about their story. Celebs weren’t open about personal issues until demi started being vocal, idc what anybody says the whole shift of celebs and media talking about mental health and celebs going through stuff only started when Demi started being open. Idc what anybody says , Demi started the “trend” of celebs being open and celebs opening up to the public . You just would rather someone sugar coat their personal issues . Your comment is extremely ignorant
@ᴄᴏᴜʀᴛɴᴇʏ ᴡʜɪᴛᴍᴏʀᴇ PROVIDE EXAMPLES OR SHUT UPPPP YOURE JUST LOUD NOT RIGHT LMAOOO
@ᴄᴏᴜʀᴛɴᴇʏ ᴡʜɪᴛᴍᴏʀᴇ congrats , you’re the reason nobody takes your social justice warrior’ing seriously , literally good job . You’re the problem lmaoo
@@jayfree2730 how about u come outta that bubble of urs and see things from a non fan's perspective instead of calling others ignorant?
demi’s pronouns are they/them
A thing about Taylor, is during her 1989 era, she was deep in an ED. So the “normal” bodies comment just makes me feel so sad cause that’s just, to me, a horrible thing to say to any person without an ED, much less someone with one. Also, about the reasons for bad blood, I’m pretty sure that Katy and Taylor were friends before this, and then Katy poached Taylor’s backup dancers. This isn’t like, a crime, but imagine you’re deep in an ED and a friend basically takes your employees and you’re scrambling to find new ones. I mean, this situation isn’t the best thing, but also, Katy and Taylor, lol it’s weird saying their first names, have kinda gotten into each others good graces again, so it was never really a big deal if they were able to move past that. I really didn’t think that Demi’s points were at all good regarding Taylor swift and just wanted to give a little context to the song. It’s probably not necessary to put this here, but just wanted to put my two cents here. 😊 everyone have a great day!!!!
honestly i’ve always been a ride or die fan of demi. i think they’re one of the greatest singers of our generation and such a funny person. i find it hard to blame them for anything, even though i know they don’t always act the greatest. i think i just see myself in her too much. i’ve always kind of been hard to get along with, had really rocky relationships, overeactions and abandonment issues. i’ve mentally been very unwell and acted very poorly to the people i love. i think i have bpd but i have not been diagnosed, but i have been with depression and anxiety. demi reads as someone with bpd also, from as much as i’ve read on it. i can’t diagnose but i do know that she is very unstable mentally and trying their best. i’ve always related to this. i’ve always related to being messy, being hard to root for, being the villain, being jealous and moody and struggling to change. they are dealing with generational trauma, no support system and friends that continually abandon them, all i want is for them to be doing better and to be happy. i think this is a way for me to want this for myself too, because i know that i end up projecting myself into them. by rooting for them, i’m sort of rooting for myself and it’s kind of like we’re going through this and learning together. it’s kinda a weird lol parasocial connection but i just love her and want the best for them
Her favourite dish is clearly an homage to the classic Miss Congeniality line and should be respected as such.
demi was really young when they started doing drugs and i often wonder...who enabled that?
In one of their documentaries they say that they wanted to try substances because they wanted to understand/see where their dad was coming from which led to their drug use and addiction. In the dancing with the devil documentary their mom mentions that it was difficult to feel as though they could say anything to Demi considering they were the bread winner. Demi also discloses in the Dancing with the devil documentary that they are a master manipulator and liar which led into the conversation of making everyone believe they were sober and advocating for others’ sobriety while simultaneously using substances without many knowing. Their friends even say that they didn’t know that that they had relapsed until they had overdosed. There are a lot of layers to Demi’s drug use but it is wrong to want to point fingers at somebody in particular.
I recently went back and watched the Simply Complicated documentary after watching DWTD; then your video was recommended to me, and let me say, it has definitely put more things perspective for me. I’ve always been a huge Demi fan from the jump just because they had a gap like me and was very emo at the time. And I loved their music…still do. But I never read Demi’s mother memoir. It provides much more context into their life growing up that’s not talked about in the documentaries.
I just never realized how problematic Demi is nowadays. 😭
the favourite dish comment reminds me of the perfect date being april 25th because you only need a light jacket.
This is excellent. I love that you are so well rounded and genuine and kind about Demi.
Yesss the ancient Egypt book for every middle school girl’s ancient Egypt phase 😂🤣 I had the exact same one! And totally! The dragon one also slaps
I had the fairy one it was awesome
For some reason I didn't think that those books were so internationally popular, so I was surprised 😅
Does anyone else think Demi having SUCH a strict team wasn’t helpful at all?? Literally OBSESSING over only eating healthy food and over exercising is ALSO a form of eating disorders. Why did Demi’s team almost treat the eating disorder like it was the addiction and not even allowing Demi to have CAKE ON THEIR BIRTHDAY
Great video! Just listening whilst having my coffee before work… very relaxing and refreshing!
About Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood video, she later talked about the friends group in a Vogue interview the year she turned 30 and that she wanted to have a close friends group which she didn’t have growing up - which the part is sure referring to the friends group in the Bad Blood era.
But I think being California sober is easier to understand as a part of recovery as a whole. They wanted it to work and thank lord they finally had someone saying nope that’s not how drug sobriety works
I feel like Demi’s idea that women cannot argue or disagree or even have beef is less feminist than taylor having a dramatized narrative music video with a spy lady training camp to help her get revenge (or even what the video can be boiled down to: women fighting). Yes, she may have been inspired by whatever the song referred to, but it’s bizarre that people interpret a video that is clearly styluses using references to spy and thriller movies to be a somewhat literal interpretation of how she saw the situation. Besides, the song being about Katy and the backup dancers was just speculation lol
There was definitely a feud between them, probably initially about the backup dancer thing, but id argue that the feud really started when the media and gp speculated the song and video were about Katy. I’m a fan of Taylor’s, but she has so many songs about people betraying her or wanting revenge that it seems silly to think the only person it could be about is Katy lol (the fact that she has so many songs like that is a topic for another day hahaha)
Edit: i agree that bad blood is a flop though lol
It’s one of my only taylor skips !! Why is it so bad!
Same. As much as she let me down all these years with these random incidents, I still want her to eventually be happy and get better.
I actually did use the Demi skincare line which was bizarre because I was not a Demi fan in the slightest. The products were actually lovely, but I’ve always had unproblematic skin lol… I really liked how the cleanser and moisturizer felt, very like moisturizing or whatever… but what I *really* remember was that the free candle gift included with your purchase smelled SO FUCKING INCREDIBLE!! I’ll remember that specific candle forever and ever and ever
Demi makes everything about themself and it's annoying, I used to be a die hard fan but now I'm 28 and really tired of it all, the yogurt shop was the end for me.
I was just thinking being a fan of them is probably super aggravating. They would run me into a wall. Very talented singer but ….ugly personality
Zendaya is a queen. We love someone that doesn’t butt in or create drama
