Demi Lovato was our favorite Disney Diva we were all rooting for.
Her career was full of promise and it look like the Disney Machine was about to make herself the biggest and brightest star on their network when it all fell apart.
Fights, drama and eventually rehab sent her away from the public eye for a bit, but now she’s back and ready to pick up where she left off.
PHOTOS: Demi Lovato Makes A Statement
The Sunny With A Chance star opened up to Elle Magazine. No longer a little girl, this woman has finally spoken about her breakup with Joe Jonas, punching a background dancer in the face and much more.
Demi On Punching A Girl In The Face: “I was completely out of line all summer,” she says. “Just the worst attitude—totally ungrateful.” During a flight to Peru, Lovato walked up to her backup dancer, then friend Alex Welch, and socked her in the face. “I just felt like she’d betrayed me,” Lovato says. “That’s the bottom line.” (Lovato’s attorneys reportedly settled a suit brought by Welch in December.) The incident was Lovato’s moment of reckoning. “When you punch someone on a plane, enough is enough,” she says. “Right after, I texted my mom and just said, ‘I’m sorry.’ ”
Demi On Being Called Fat, Cutting Herself and Her PR Teams Excuse: “Those girls never gave me an explanation for why they were bullying me,” she says. “One of the words they called me was fat. At that age, you think, Oh, so I don’t have friends because I’m fat. I don’t think I would have been ready to talk about [my problems] then, but I could’ve come up with something better than gummy bracelets,” she says now. “Needless to say, that publicist is no longer with us.” Pause. “I mean, she’s alive.”
