A REPRESENTATIVE FOR Demi Lovato says she is awake and recovering with her family after the pop singer was reportedly hospitalised for an overdose.
“Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers and support,” Lovato’s representative said in a statement.
Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully ask for privacy and not speculation as her health and recovery is the most important thing right now.
The statement did not provide any details on what led to the singer’s hospitalisation.
Emergency officials confirmed they transported a 25-year-old woman who lives on Demi Lovato’s block to the hospital after receiving a call at 11:22 am (7.22 pm Irish time) yesterday.
TMZ was the first to report that Lovato had been hospitalised for a drug overdose, based on its sources, and other outlets including People magazine also reported her hospitalisation based on sources.
Lovato indicated in a new song released last month that she relapsed after six years of sobriety. On the song “Sober,” she sings the lyrics: “Momma, I’m so sorry I’m not sober anymore/And daddy please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor.”
Previous struggles
In her YouTube documentary released last year called “Demi Lovato, Simply Complicated,” she openly discusses her cocaine use and battles with alcohol.
Fox said it would pull its episode of “Beat Shazam” featuring Lovato, which was to air last night.
“We have decided to replace the episode of Beat Shazam with another all-new episode. Our thoughts go out to Demi and her family,” the network said.
Lovato was scheduled to perform in Atlantic City on Thursday.
News crews gathered outside Lovato’s home in the Hollywood Hills, where vehicles were seen entering and leaving yesterday afternoon. Their occupants did not stop to speak to reporters.
The hashtag #PrayForDemi trended on Twitter and several celebrities posted supportive words, including Missy Elliott, Ariana Grande, Brad Paisley, Kesha, Bebe Rexha, Meghan Trainor, Maren Morris, Kehlani and British electronic group Clean Bandit, whose current single Solo features Lovato.
Ellen DeGeneres tweeted that “it breaks my heart that she is going through this. She is a light in this world, and I am sending my love to her and her family”.
The singer-actress, who entered rehab in 2010, struggled with an eating disorder, self-mutilation and other issues. She has spoken out about her battles with drugs and alcohol over the years, and she’s become a role model for young women and men who have faced their own issues.
Lovato, who was a child actress on the TV series Barney & Friends, broke on the scene as a teen on the Disney Channel film Camp Rock and the network series Sonny with a Chance.
She went on to become a multi-platinum pop star, launching Top 10 hits like Sorry Not Sorry, Skyscraper, Heart Attack. Her 2015 album, Confident, earned her a Grammy nomination for best pop vocal album.

They are already talking about using this technology to cure phobias like speaking in public and other more general forms of social anxiety. The possibilities with this technology are immense and positively exciting.
More likely people will use them to escape social situations as we veer further towards a fully virtual society.
Porn, it’s going to be used for porn. Same as the Internet.
FFS get a grip,that was pure shite!
Jasus The Journal has gone downhill if this is considered newsworthy
They’ve always peddled fluff alongside the more pressing issues. Room for them both
Every weekday at 11am we have Take a Break, it’s generally a lighter video like this. We have about 60+ articles a day, so there’s plenty to read that isn’t like this.
Great, now look what you’ve done Cosmo. Hope you’re happy.
Pass no heed aoife you’re doing a sterling job. Snapchat hun?
Yes but not every video with an “Irish Mammy” is funny
I like the Journals work @Aoife. Never mind the bugrudgers! I think it’s a great video. .. shows how accessible it is. The Irish mammy dropping f-bombs is classic!!
Nothing to do with begrudging, it’s just my opinion and many others that it is cringeworthy and not remotely funny. Journal can do much better than this
Yawn
Was expecting more ‘
FFS Filming in portrait !
You’d think they’d make the cameras not record video in portrait by this stage…
Or you would think people would know to record with their phone sideways by now.
Was only a matter of time before these videos arrived.
I wonder what she was watching
It’s the jurassic Park clip. A sleeping bronctosauaus wakes up and comes over to you. It’s really cool
Why is the footage warping at sections around the womans body?
Illuminati and or NWO, with a possibility of lizard people shapeshifting
That’s nearly two minutes of my life wasted. On the plus side, at least she didn’t pepper the entire video with multiple effing and blinding which, unfortunately, one has come to expect from such Irish-made videos. But for gawd’s sake, why can’t the makers of them use landscape mode?
That looked like me coming home from the pub last night.
Have a look at that wine rack in the background, packed!! Bit early in the day to be drinking!
Are those the 30€ dunnes headsets?
Gear VR
That kitchen looks a bit dated!
Billy big balls cause he has an island in his
I think this is an advert…
This pornos great…
