Demi Lovato opened up to Ellen about what led to her relapse and overdose in 2018. Plus, she debuted a clip from the music video for her empowering new single, "I Love Me." #DemiLovato #ILoveMe #TheEllenShow
Yeah taking the phone away and the fruit bowl away in demis hotel room I mean who does that a Girl needs to eat not starve to death this is not helping her disorder
“I asked for help but I didn’t receive the help that I needed.” The most important thing to take from this interview is to always know how your actions impact others.
Anne Day easier said than done, I’ve been begging for help since I was 12 and I’m 22 and only just starting to actually make waves with my mental health recovery
I hope you’re not insinuating that someone who is mentally ill or unwell can simply help themselves. That’s not how it works all of the time. Some people have much severe cases to where they do actually NEED outside help. That’s what she pays a lot of these people for, her team. To help. They want her to be sober so they can keep making money but don’t want to give her proper support.
@@saburezeq5530 she literally said her actions are the reason she ended up where she did she's not blaming anybody but herself just saying how others played a part in it, have you actually listened to this?
@@saburezeq5530 She didn't, but we all need help sometimes. She asked for it and unfortunately she didn't have the support she needed in that moment. You should check yourself. You can either be a positive person or a toxic one, which are you?
She looks more radiant and beautiful than ever. It’s okay to be vulnerable and it’s okay to relapse because as long as you take responsibility and realize you are a ten out of ten everything will fall into place.
With everything then yes because does everything I’ve been through it’s not OK it’s not wait for me to put this on me I did nothing but I don’t know things for her I do nice things for her but she doesn’t think that she thinks about what I’m doing is right is right and she’s complaining that I will not do anything right same thing and save it on my birthday same thing so I don’t know what I’m gonna do because if I stick to my mom yes it’s because she’s easy thing up to you but I think time but that scares me I can’t handle this by myself I need somebody be there for me
You can tell when Ellen genuinely has respect for someone, and when she doesn’t. If she can sit quietly and not guide the conversation with attitude, she has some respect for you.
I love how she says "you take the responsibility". Kids and adults have the trouble. Once you accept the fact you have a problem..then comes the understanding of how to fix the problem.
@Kira Grima-Williams McValue box was 19.95 last year, now $22.95 The presumably islander girl is very friendly and polite with orders at Drivethru. Will grab her name next time. Makes you feel welcome. Soft serve price keeps going up too.
Lewey The Frog I mean I don’t think she blamed her team. She was just saying her team leaving her kind of just got to the best of her emotions and the way she dealt with those emotions weren’t the best. I think Demi is mature enough to realize that what she did was nobody else’s fault but her own. The important thing now tho is that she seems to be in a better place and she’s happy
@Josh Herrick That's absolutely true, but you also need a positive support system around you and if they used her weaknesses and vulnerability against her then they were not a positive support system
Josh Herrick at that point, it isn’t just blaming them. They were being horrible people, so they deserve part of the blame. She opened up to them about something she was struggling with and they shut her down. She trusted them, and they failed to show that they are trustworthy.
I can’t even imagine how she managed to talk about this without dropping a single tear. She’s truly amazing and strong. I really hope she stays sober and in a good path!
It really makes you think about how hard it is for addicts to get better. If even Demi Lovato has a hard time getting the type of help she needs, imagine how tough it is for people who don’t have any money or any support system behind them at all. I hope more people will remember that after seeing Demi open up about her struggles and have some empathy for others who share her struggle.
On the other hand when having a lot of money getting addicted to a drug is a lot easier. If I could buy coke whenever I want as much as I want I might get addicted too ☺
Yeah if you guys are all three tents and all three nervous offense but I am it’s just that it’s him I know 03 doctors I’m not nervous about but all the men in the room then yes I will get nervous about so I’ll be OK I’m promise I’ve got going on but it’s OK I’m always OK I just have no hope in and disappointment but I’m always OK with air thing
Definitely. And we’re so lucky to be able to hear her say that! The industry needs to learn from this, it breaks my heart that we might have lost stars who were also asking for help!
I'm sad for Demi's struggles :( she seems like such a true and genuine person, someone just seeking happiness. I wish her well, I hope she stays clean, the battle of addiction can be so tough :(
I don't think people understand how much of an influence she has on all of her young fans, especially those who are going through the same thing. It's sad seeing all the jokes about her overdose and weight. Being this open and transparent about something so dark and ultimately taking her own responsibility is amazing. Everyone who overcomes it is incredibly brave and strong for doing so. Demi using her voice without shame shows she trully is a beautiful person inside out.
The way Demi speaks about her eating disorder and OD, even touching on her core issues, speaks a lot to how she’s processed this and really understood it. So happy for her!
I love how Demi talks about her addiction. Alot of people think addicts are junkies on the street. They are the PTA moms, your neighbor, coworkers, best friend etc... More awareness needs to be brought on this subject. Thank you Demi for sharing your story we love you ❤❤
@ready for revolution now thats not true I knew alot of functional addicted that work and eat its rare but I knew some when I was an addict. Now I'm 5yrs sober with two beautiful children.
@ready for revolution now Lol back at you... You would be terrified, if only you knew. The addict is the guy who rang you up at the convenient store today, the girl who was your waitress at the restaurant you had lunch at, her boyfriend who cooked your great food, that cool salesman who sold you your car, your family doctor, your polite and quiet roommate, and your brother who leaves early for work to score so he doesn't get dopesick today at work. It's not just the homeless guy that's at the intersection asking for change. Truth is stranger than fiction!
I feel for her. With her eating disorder on Disney, and being forced to be around her ex due to a tour contract. I would definitely use lipo if I had the money. At least I would be confident and not feel much pressure. But now she learned to love herself how she is, we STAN a strong Queen!!!
She's so strong mentally. To be able to recover after an 9verdose, give amazing performances, and talk about an extremely hard moment in your life on TV is so brave and strong
I feel like anytime a celebrity wants to get candid or honest they go on Ellen. Ellen is a wonderful listener. I could never imagine Demi or anyone doing this on Jimmy Fallon
I wish people like Mac Miller and Amy Winehouse could hear this message, everyone needs someone to love or talk to and it hurts my heart that most people don’t have that. If you’re seeing this know that you’re loved and appreciated ❤️ don’t give up keep fighting.
S Kael That team was selfish for their response to her cry for help. She asked for help, and their response was “it’s selfish of you to drink because it hurts us.” While that might be true, it shows how they care much more for their own wellbeing than they do for hers and is also not helpful to her in any way. She was asking for assistance, and they didn’t give her any.
@@skael1258 they didn't call her selfish for her drinking, but for her eating, which is body shaming & cruel.. This girl was suffering & they only thought of their pockets..!
I love seeing her look like this not the skinny one. Imagine your manager made you eat watermelon instead of your own birthday cake, not eating when going on tour
Yes it is. The key is to never get addicted in the first place. They teach you that in school, they talk about it all the time.... but you people dont listen.
@@user-fb4sb1zi8g well, i back lea's words and i know for sure i never "tried a drink, drug, or smoke in my entire life". and into my 2nd year at med school. a weak mentality leads to addiction, since such people couldn't handle the world as it is but rather ran away from it.
I’m so proud of her for having the guts to address this. I can’t imagine how many people she inspires and helps just by sharing her story and being transparent about her struggles.
I’ve been struggling with my sobriety for a year now and this was exactly what I needed to hear to get out of my head and realize that I can do this. Thank you Demi for being you and showing the truth to addiction and creating more open conversation. This is what people like me need, to not feel like such a failure and to be able to reach out to people when I need without fear of the stigma that often surrounds addicts.
Congrats on your sobriety. You should be very proud of yourself! I am in the journey of 6 years sobriety. It was not easy, but absolutely worth it. You can do it.
Out of all the public speaking she has done about the issues she has dealt with.. this honestly seems the most genuine she has ever been. She truly looks happy and in a great place mentally and physically. Everything she says seems so honest. When she said “you don’t need anyone or anything to make you happy” I felt that For real this time. Good for her!!
She is such an inspiration honestly. She takes full responsibility to what she did to herself. That takes so much and i believe only a handful of people are strong enough to do that. Sure other factors played part in it, but taking the full responsibility also means that she can now hopefully have peace with herself. And she is so so soo strong for talking about this on a big platform because im sure its super hard to talk about this (and while staying strong). A lot of people dont understand how hard it is to rehabilitate. People dont look at what plays behind the decisions that others make. How she worded it was so well thought out and im happy for her for inspiring people who are going through the same
its hard to rehabilitate but its harder not to. cause the pain is there and if you dont deal with it you have to keep fighting it. you may as well face it and deal with it. and have a happier life. its liberating to deal with our demons its alot worse not to. though it takes a lot of courage, it ultimately pays off cuz all of us have demons we need to confront with or it swallow us up. so swim or sink. you choose.
Lewey The Frog Yea, it kind of sounded like that to me, too, and I’m not trying to be a brat. I e battled addictions too, but that didn’t seem like full responsibility to me
I love demi so much she is just so inspiring, she shows young people everywhere that if you believe in yourself you can get through/achieve anything you want ♥️
The most emotional thing of this interview is how much compassion, empathy Ellen showed while listening to Demi’s story. Elle was teary-eyed was while listening to her story 😭😭
Straightupshooter Hey would u be willing to watch my most recent video? I put so much time into it and my videos are lit. No lie but I know I’m a random person I’m just looking for people to entertain 👌 but I hope you have a good day
I'm 51 and my heart goes out to anyone in recovery but especially to people in the spotlight. Recovery is a long and difficult journey for some and to have to do it under the glaring spotlight of Fame where perfect strangers think they have a right to know more about a person than their body of work is grueling. Thank you Demi for your experience, strength and hope.
@@orangexylem I mean...it is in a lot of ways. But clearly a "team" that you're paying is outta wack if they're even having that conversation honestly.
U don't know all of the story. U werent there. U have absolutely no idea of what they have done, or what Demi has done. U are just being here judging people in a "team" that u dont even know what they look like just by one sentence that Demi said. Who are u to judge? Shut your mouth and think about it.
We’ve all grown up with this girl. Her smile has always been so grand and beautiful. I’m so glad she’s here to speak her story; it’s inspiring really; I hope to one day follow in her footsteps of solid sobriety. ♥️
That was one of the most beautiful messages on the planet. Demi you are such a strong person. I am SO happy to see you openly talk your struggles. This gives other people the courage to stand and take control of their situation. Love you girl. Keep up with the amazing work
I had to watch this again because my queen is so strong now. I'm happy that she can open about certain things which also makes it easier for me to open up to people what I'm going through in life. We love you Demi from Guyana ❤❤
What I love about Demi is that she never pretended to be someone else. She always openeded up about her emotional problems and addictions. She knows that being so transparent about these problems takes away a lot of people, the judges of good morals, for example. But even so, she continued to be faithful to the person she is, and to the problems that she has. I'm happy to see her well after all she been through. You go, Demi!!!!
I really love how Demi is so relatable even as a person who’s constantly in the spotlight. She emphasizes the importance of self love and self care in maintaining your mental health! When she was talking about her relapse, she didn’t sugarcoat it or give some scripted response. Talking about addiction, especially the feelings involved with it, is still considered a bit of a taboo subject, and I think the way she addressed this issue took a LOT of courage.
Bruh. I wasn't always her biggest fan . But I am a big fan of who she is as an advocate for sobriety . I've been struggling getting sober. I even ended up in the hospital and still relapsed it's when your ready not everyone else .
Watch her latest documentary "Dancing With The Devil". She's not an advocate of sobriety anymore (which I totally understand and agree. Strict yourself from ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING it makes you feel good can be very dangerous.)
When talk shows had heart and depth this interview would have been the full hour .....scary how attention spans so short now with more time she could have made a great impact to alot of viewers.....
She has always been someone I looked up to but she’s also a real person. I was so sad when she relapsed but she seems to be surrounded by better people and it seems she has a better head space. I’m always rooting the best for her.
Thank you demi, I'm not battling addiction but I'm battling mental abuse and I'm trying my best to overcome and focus on myself. Thank you for the encouragement. You are a strong woman!
As a recovering alcoholic/addict and a HUGE Demi fan, she constantly amazes me. Her music has been there for me my entire life and she has saved me and inspired me countless times. Addicts aren’t junkies and sobriety isn’t easy. Own it and grow through what you go through. Share your hope, experience, and strength and help the next suffering alcoholic/addict. Be kind and love others, but most importantly love yourself. “You’re a 10 out of 10!” Thank you @demilovato for my tears of joy again and for sharing your story.
her manager who, upon hearing Demi relapsing on her bulimia because of a break-up said 'you're not the only one wh's going through a break-up' on a CAMERA. Her sober coach who should never work as a sober coach in the first place (I mean he laughed at a homeless man who, most likely, struggled with alcoholism). Yeah, those people. Oh, plus they made her feel like she owes them because they were her "saviors"...
Bah! When she said “you are a ten outta ten” I couldn’t help but cry cause sometimes you have to hear it. I hope one day when someone compliments me I don’t cry cause I don’t believe it i smile and say heck yes iam.
Demi is really doing that.. she’s so honest about her situation.. thankfully she had a happy ending and she’s the whole person as good as she always has been..
When Demi pointed to the camera saying: You at home.. I felt like : Yes, she is speaking to me! I'm not crying, you are crying!😭😍 She is such an angel! She desirves BEST of THE BEST!💪🏼 P.S.: Her speech, got me like: DEMI FOR PRESIDENT!💪🏼👑❤✌🏻🤩
