Behind Demi Lovato’s Being Open About 2010 Rehab Stay

The 33-year-old singer who once struggled with drugs and alcohol that took a toll on her physically and mentally, told Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang during the podcast, “I had a decision that had to be made when I had gone to treatment for the first time. I had this very public outburst when I was 18, which I talk about in some of my documentaries.”

Demi Lovato recalled a moment when she was asked by her manager if she would prefer to sweep under the rug. She said, “In that moment, my manager at the time asked me, ‘Do you want to be public with what you’re going through…or do you want to sweep it under the rug and not talk about it, which you have a right to both. You don’t owe anybody anything.”

Sorry Not Sorry Singer Battled Eating Disorder

Demi Lovato also spoke about battling bulimia nervosa, which is an eating disorder that can cause you to eat large amounts of food at one time and then get rid of it.

The Camp Rock star further explained, “But I was like, ‘I didn’t have a role model at 13 that was speaking up about eating disorders, and I need to be that role model for someone else.’ It was this responsibility that I was willing to take on because I wish that I could have had that growing up.”

She continued, “That’s kind of the catalyst for why I’ve been open about all of my struggles, is in that moment when I made that decision, it set the tone for the rest of my life of like, I want to help people and the best way that I know how is sharing my personal experience with them.”
