Why Demi Lovato Went to Rehab
What sent Demi Lovato to treatment center? Lovato shocked the world last night by dropping out of the Jonas Brothers tour and checking into a treatment center for emotional and physical issues.
The exact nature of Lovato’s problems are not known as yet but TMZ among others have stated that Demi was in a physical altercation with a female member of her tour and that served as a “catalyst” in her wanting to seek help.
Lovato’s road to fame hasn’t been all rosy. When she was in seventh grade, she was so badly bullied that she had to become home-schooled.
Demi told Ellen DeGeneres back in 2008,”Sometimes [bullying] doesn’t just end in high school,” She also wrote on her MySpace page that same year, “Sometimes I get online and read blogs (which I probably shouldn’t if I can’t handle it) and read the horrible things that people say in comments … and it can really take a toll on you.”
The same year, Lovato showed red marks on her wrists at Miley Cyrus’ 16th birthday bash, fueling rumors that she cuts herself. (At the time, her rep said that tight “gummy bracelets” had left “indentations” on her wrist.)
Citing a person familiar with the situation, the Associated Press reports that Demi indeed had self-mutilation issues.
AP also reports that she also showed signs of having an eating disorder.
And insider tells US, “She needed help before a smaller problem got worse,” “She is doing OK.” “She has been forced into showbiz from a young age and that puts tremendous pressure on someone … everyone is really happy she is getting help.”
Demi and Joe Jonas dated briefly and split up just a few months ago. Joe as we all know has found love in Ashley Greene very shortly after the split. That probably doesn’t help neither.
Growing up isn’t easy to start with and being a celebrity, there’s a big package. Get well SOON Demi! We love you kiddo.
