I don't understand her.

All of this plus I think she's just starved for more and more attention. Playing the victim card is her way to get everyone's sympathy.
And for all we know, she could relapse next week and be like Corey Monteith. -

I came to her IMDB page message board to see if anyone else felt this way, too haha I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I think she is fame seeking, and possibly even making up some stories or expanding on the truth. I never really followed her so idk, but all of these stories came up out of nowhere for me and she just keeps releasing more and more details every day. It just seems like she released one sob story, liked all the attention she got, and so is releasing more and more garbage. I dunno lol over it, onto the next

No, she isn't making up anything, she was a severe drug addict for several YEARS but the idiot fans here continued to deny, deny, and more deny, they denied that she had EVER used drugs. I was called a liar here for years for believing in so-called "gossip" and "rumors" that Demi was a drug adddict. Well guess what? Gossip is often TRUE and rumors are often TRUE also. Deal with it. You people were WRONG and I was right. You owe me an apology.

I'm not a fan of Demi, but I'm also not denying her drug use either. I'm just saying I don't know whether to believe her or not because, to me, it seems like she's fabricating her story to the point of absurdity.
However, I am sorry you were called a liar by her loyal fans.

I honestly don't think anybody on here knows when it comes to her personal life and her drug use. All I know is that the more I hear about it in the media, the sadder it makes me.
Oh yeah, I have seen those YouTube videos of my signature! I laugh whenever Dr. Crusher asks Picard, "Shut up Wesley?", and then she repeats the line too when her son starts talking.

Because of her family history of alcohol abuse she had a greater chance of becoming an addict. Anyone can say, "so and so lost everything over drugs. I'll never be like that" but it doesn't mean they'll always stick to it. She claims she was depressed growing up, was bullied, had an eating disorder and was a cutter. She had a lot of sh!t going on and she probably turned to drugs as a way to escape all thateven if it was just temporary.

I believe her, I remember the cuts on her wrists and the raspy voice caused by the bulimia. I actually really feel for Demi, she became the "breadwinner" for her family at quite an early age and even bought them a house at the age of 18 and that gave her a lot of leverage against her parents. She once said that, since she was paying the bills, she refused punishment like being grounded and so. I feel for her because, from what we know, her parents seem to be pushovers and no one intervened early enough to give her a smack on the head and set her on the right path, before things completely spiraled out of control. They only intervened after things had gone way out of control. If she had been my daughter, I wouldn't have cared how much money she was making, she would NOT be dating that preying, enabling crackhead Wilmer at 17 and I would have tried to keep my eyes open and protb68ect her from all that Hollywood crap. I would have worked hard to provide for my kids and let them enjoy childhood rather than pay the bills. I am not dissing on her family, they seem like nice people, it's just that I feel they should have been more alert and looked out for her wellbeing. She started cutting as a kid andhow could you not realize your daughter was drinking and doing drugs (both of which she started doing as a minor as well?)

I didn't realize that wilmer was a crackhead, I had Demi and him have been on and off since she was 18. I'm confused whether or not he was a bad influence in her and life and if so, why does she still keep in around? Apparenty they are dating again.

He has been a terrible, terrible influence. If blind gossip is correct, he pressures her into doing drugs and drinking every time she gets sober. She really wants to be healthy but he is holding her back. He treats her terribly and calls her fat
He once walked away and left crying at a restaurant, with no money, credit cards or car. He made her write the encouraging tweet in response to Joe Jonas , even though she was furious and hurt. He is bad, bad news. He constantly threatens to leave her and berates everything about her from her hair, to her clothes. I was shocked to see on his twitter that he spoke at some sort of inspirational event while there is nothing inspirational or respectable about him, he is addicted to cocaine, heroin and alcohol and has gotten so many girls hooked onto them.
She needs to walk away but I guess she doesn't realize how amazing and beautiful she is and how no woman should ever, ever put up with such treatment no matter what. Nobody deserves this. He is extremely manipulative and knows how to throw her crumbs of attention and she is vulnerable and needs to feel loved, I think.
Oh, and on top of all that, he constantly cheats on her. I pray that she sees the light and dumps his sorry *** ASAP. -

Do you got a source or two to prove this? I normally don't trust blind gossip.
I agree with mactach, but I also think there's a mixture of things affecting her life. Part of it is that she is holding herself back by choosing to hang around people like Wilmer Valderrama. Considering he's addicted to cocaine, I would think she sends her fans mixed messages by dating him while preaching her views on partda0ying and drugs. Of course, I agree with you that she should get rid of him altogether since that qualifies as a passive-aggressive relationship and she doesn't even have to be near him in the first place, but that's easier said than done.

I don't have any other sources, but blind gossip has been right too many times, so I believe them on this. The way they posted it, it wasn't about dishing out juicy gossip or anything like that, they were actually very concerned for Demi and wanted people to leave her advice in the comments because she reads BG (which has been proven before, as she has angrily commented about them on twitter in the past). BG said they care about Demi and are trying to help her realize that Wilmer's behavior is unacceptable.
Regardless of anything, that guy is bad news and it sucks to see anyone in an abusive or at the very least opportunistic relationship. This happens to so many beautiful and smart women and you wish you could help each and every one of them open her eyes and see the truth about the slime ball she is dating and have the strength to leave because, sooner or later, the truth does sink in at some point, usually after too many wasted years and a lot of pain and baggage. Demi said that when it came to the drugs and alcohol (which I really hope she did stop), she didn't want to listen to anyone or take any advice, she had to discover for herse5b4lf that she hit rock bottom and was putting her life at risk. I think this also goes for that relationship, she is in denial about his behavior and he knows how to manipulate her and talk his way out of anything. I think she also feels like people are being judgmental and she knows him best, but don't all women in abusive relationships (whether physically, verbally or emotionally) feel that way? I just hope she listens to people's advice and finds the strength to walk away immediately and not look back. She has the right to date anyone and do whatever she wants with her life, of course, but as a woman, I just feel so bad for her with everything she has gone through and would hate to see her settle for a relationship where she is constantly being hurt, berated, pressured into using or taken advantage of. She has just been through so much and I think any girl can relate. -
mactach — 12 years ago(December 17, 2013 01:24 PM)
I've never gotten the impression she wants people to remember her as you describe it.
I've seen interviews on Youtube where she's simply saying that how she dealt with her depression or choosing to do dumb things that so many famous people have done was wrong and regrets it.
Is that so hard to understand Captain? -
racheljclear — 12 years ago(December 20, 2013 01:24 AM)
No one speaks about depression, or self harm or drugs these days. so by her doing it, it's doing good for everyone she's putting her self out there, trying to help others who are going through the same thing she did, so her talking about it could be saving someone's life, so shut the beep up.

No one speaks about depression, or self harm or drugs these days.
Wow, that is totally not true at all. People still talk about this because it is an awareness issue in communities, schools, etc. Plus, I can think of 10 celebrities off the top of my head who have talked about their own experiences with self harm, drugs/alcohol abuse, and depression within the past few years. Demi Lovato isn't the only one talking about these issues, you know.
so by her doing it, it's doing good for everyone she's putting her self out there, trying to help others who are going through the same thing she did, so her talking about it could be saving someone's life,
And here is where the problem lies. Yes, it is good for someone with celebrity status to speak up about the obstacles in life they faced and how they overcame it so that others know they're not alone, but there is a difference between using past experiences to let others understand these problems exist versus whining and bitching about them while making oneself look like a victim. That is my problem with Demi; while I believe she was a drug addict, I also believe she uses her sob story as justification for her to keep her celebrity status and act like the supposed "role model" she aspires to be.
I know there are fans out there who look at Demi's personal problems and sa5b4y, "I can relate to her!" But honestly, how many of her fans can relate to smuggling cocaine in airports and getting away with it (assuming this is true)? Most likely not many. And this past summer, for example, Demi stated that before she joined
Barney and Friends
, she was suicidal at age 7. If I were to take a random sample of her fans to survey and ask them if they ever felt suicidal at age 7, I would bet that most of them would probably say no. The only things I can see her fans relating to are bullying and lack of parental disciple, but that's about it.
My point is, the way she talks about her past, she is only serving her own purpose to stay relevant in the media, and she doesn't want to hold accountability for her actions. She really isn't saving anyone's life except her own. Therefore, IMO, I believe it is wrong to call her a "hero".
so shut the beep up.
Um, no. As long as she is still in the spotlight talking about her problems, people will continue to talk about her. That's the price she pays for being a celebrity.
