Demi Lovato opens up about ‘trauma of sexual assault’ on night of drug overdose

Demi Lovato claims she was sexually assaulted by her dealer on the night of her heroin overdose three years ago.

It was history repeating itself for the former Disney star, who also revealed she was raped as a 14-year-old virgin.

In an explosive set of confessions, Demi further admitted she still smokes drugs, despite her overdose causing three strokes which came close to killing her.

She said doctors asked if she had had consensual sex that night in 2018. 

‘I remembered him lying on top of me, so I said yes,’ said the What Other People Say singer. 

‘It wasn’t until maybe a month after my overdose that I realised, “Hey, you weren’t in any state of mind to make a consensual decision”. That kind of trauma doesn’t go away overnight.’

Demi’s comments come in her upcoming YouTube Originals documentary series, called Dancing With The Devil.

Sharing her teenage rape ordeal, the 28-year-old claimed: ‘When I was a teenager, I was in a very similar situation. I lost my virginity in a rape. I called that person back a month later and tried to make it right by being in control and all it did was just make me feel worse.

‘I really beat myself up for years, which is also why I had a really hard time coming to terms with the fact that it was a rape. We were hooking up but I said, “Hey, this is not going any further. I’m a virgin and I don’t want to lose it this way”.

‘And that didn’t matter to them, they did it anyways. I told myself it was my fault because I still went in the room with him. I still hooked up with him.’

Comparing herself to a cat quickly using up its nine lives, Demi says she couldn’t stand to go totally sober.

‘It doesn’t work for me to say I’m never going to do this again… I know I’m done with the stuff that’s going to kill me, right?’ she said.

‘Telling myself that I can never have a drink or smoke marijuana, I feel like that’s setting myself up for failure.’

Katy hints Orlando is her lord of the ring

Katy Perry has promised fans they will know when she and Orlando Bloom finally take the plunge… so is this a sign?

The Dark Horse singer was clocked flashing a gold band on her wedding finger during their romantic getaway to Hawaii.

Katy, 36, showed off the bling as she grabbed a coffee. The wedding speculation comes six months after the birth of their first child, Daisy, who was carried in a sling on Orlando’s back during their outing.

Katy said in the past that they didn’t want to rush into Mr & Mrs. And, giving an update last month, she teased that the big day would be low-key. ‘There’s a lot of details but I haven’t shared them,’ she said. 

‘I don’t know if you really need to share them with the public. Don’t worry about it: it’s all good and when it happens you’ll know!’

Lord Of The Rings star Bloom, 44, was previously married to Aussie model Miranda Kerr, mother of his ten-year-old son Flynn.

And Katy recently described her marriage to Russell Brand nine years ago as ‘just like a tornado, everything happening at once’.

Filmed last autumn, Azhar’s documentary airs on BBC Two later this spring with the working title Britney.

‘This film taps into the energy of the #FreeBritney movement’ he said.

Once they pop they can’t stop… Nick Jonas has shared his Guilty Pleasure when it comes to scoffing caviar with wife Priyanka Chopra.

The Spaceman singer revealed they enjoy the expensive delicacy on crisps. Nick, 28, was talking about his track Death Do Us Part, which includes the lyric ‘this is caviar with some Pringles’.

‘First time I had it was at an Oscar after-party. I thought it was very fancy, and Priyanka likes that combination from time to time,’ he told the Capital Evening Show.

‘Obviously caviar is a very extravagant thing… so this isn’t something we do regularly but it is quite special.’

Looks like you Leto yourself go, Jared

You have got to be joking! Jared Leto has undergone another shocking screen transformation after joining Lady Gaga in Sir Ridley Scott’s new flick House Of Gucci.

Leto, 49, has already played The Joker and lost weight to play an Aids patient during his Oscar-winning turn in Dallas Buyers Club. 

Now, joining Gaga on the set at Lake Como in Italy, he has piled on the pounds — and gone bald — for his role as Paolo Gucci.

Sam gets emotional after Brit snub

Sam Smith put in an emotional performance on James Corden’s show days after it was revealed the singer will be snubbed from this year’s Brit Awards nominations.

The Oscar, Grammy and Brit winner delivered a powerful rendition of Kids Again, days after the gender storm.

Smith, 28, has been urging the Brits to dump its male and female categories, but organisers said this week they would be keeping them. 

It means Smith, who identifies as non-binary, will miss out unless up for album or song of the year. 

‘I look forward to a time where awards shows can be reflective of the society we live in,’ Smith said.
