Lady Gaga caused a lot of controversy when she had someone puke all over her this past week during her SXSW 2014 performance in Austin.
While most of us were completely in shock, Demi Lovato had a different reaction and took to Twitter to spill her thoughts on the performance’s uncanny relation to bulimia.
Demi tweeted:
Sad… As if we didn’t have enough people glamorizing eat disorders already. 😣 Bottom line, it’s not “cool” or “artsy” at all.

Would you let someone bring a needle and shoot up on you? Addiction is addiction.

It’s not “shade” and it’s not “hate”. But someone has to come forward and say it and I’ll take the heat for it. ✌️

This definitely hits home for Demi, who went to rehab years ago for an eating disorder herself, so it’s no wonder she’s speaking out.
Fortunately, it doesn’t look like any beef will start between the two, since Demi has expressed that she’s still a fan of Gaga’s regardless.
