We all know by now that Demi Lovato has dealt with some serious depression, addiction and self-harm issues in her life, but did you know she was suicidal as a 7-year-old? Holy shit. Apparently it was around the time she booked her gig on Barney, which, incidentally, she feels saved her life.
From Cosmopolitan:
“At the time, I was just so grateful to be on TV, but I was also really struggling. Looking back, there was a connection, probably between any kid who’s ever sang that song to Barney, a little place in a child’s heart, a void, that could be filled. And maybe Barney fills it.
“Even before Barney, I was suicidal. I was 7. With Barney, I guess subliminally, I did have a relationship with this figure that was saving my life in a way… I’ve talked about being bullied and the years of being a teenager, but I went through things when I was younger that I’ve never talked about that probably caused me to turn out the way I ended up turning out.”
She must be one fucked up chick if she was thinking suicide at age 7. Was MJ her baby sitter or what.
who actually cares? i wish she’d shut the fuck up
It’ll make me sound like a b!tch, but I’m getting bored. I’m sure she has something else to talk about?
Actually if you take away her “problems” she is an absolute bore. Even with her problems she is a cure for insomnia. I can’t believe Simon kept her on as a “judge” of X how does she rate as a judge of talent
