In her new documentary, "Dancing With the Devil", Demi Lovato has spoken publicly about the sexual abuses that have been committed against her.
Two of the most traumatic events she talks about, Demi recalls in 2018, when she ended up in an overdose by her drug dealer and the other, when she was 15, this time by a teenager, who was also a "Disney" star at the time. .
"It's not that they just drugged me. They took advantage of me. When they found me I was naked, I got a different color. I was practically dead for 1 week after he took advantage of me. When I woke up in the hospital I was asked if I had sex without "I had only one vision of him above my body. I remembered that part and said yes. A month after the overdose I realized I was not able to make a conscious decision."
While talking about the abuse of 2018, Demi spoke for the first time about rape during adolescence. She points out that she did not prolong the case for fear of what might happen later. People might not have believed what had happened to them since the early event: teen rape.
"When I was a teenager I was in a similar situation. I lost my virginity through a rape," Lovato said, without naming the abuser.
The "Disney" star said that at that time they were in the beginning of romance, but she was not ready to have a relationship.
"I did not have a romantic first time. It was not for me, it slandered me. Then I had to see this man all the time, so I started not eating anymore and facing him in other ways.
E kam dënuar veten për vite me radhë, prandaj kam kaluar një kohë shumë të vështirë derisa kam pranuar se çfarë ndodhi ishte në fakt përdhunim. Ne thjesht dilnim dhe mendova se nuk do t'i çonte gjërat më larg nëse unë s'doja. Kjo s'kishte rëndësi për të dhe e bëri. Për shumë kohë i kam thënë vetes që është faji im sepse unë pranova të jem në një dhomë me të. Unë dilja me të."
Ndonëse Demi ua ka treguar historinë e përdhunimit njerëzve të tjerë në jetën e saj, personi abuzues nuk mori kurrë një ndëshkim për çfarë bëri.
"Atë s'e nxorën kurrë nga filmi. Kam qëndruar e heshtur për shumë gjatë, pasi u lodha."
Pas dy ngjarjeve abuzuese, Demi duhet të përballonte pasojat traumatike. Kjo nënkuptonte edhe faktin që i është dashur të qëndrojë në kontakt me të dy njerëzit që abuzuan me të, pavarësisht çfarë ndodhi.
"I called that man a month later and tried to do the right thing by keeping the situation under control. I just felt worse!"
The premiere of Demi Lovato's new documentary will be on March 23, 2021 on YouTube.
