Demi Lovato raped at 15: her heartbreaking secrets about her reconstruction

Demi Lovato gave an interview to People this Tuesday, March 23. The singer confided in her reconstruction following her shocking revelations.

She came out of the silence. In the documentary Dancing with the devil, Demi Lovato confided to having been the victim of two sexual assaults. A terrible ordeal for the young woman who, after several very difficult years, is finally ready to rebuild herself. In an interview with People this Tuesday, March 23, she wanted to speak in full transparency. "Sometimes people listen to my music from when I was a teenager and they think I was really pissed off. Yes I was and now you understand why," she says first. For the artist, doing these revelations in front of the camera was "liberating. And it really lets that anger that was inside of me dissolve. I had let go of a lot of the anger before, but it was kind of just the touch finale, like, okay, I can really heal from this now," she says. "Now that I've spoken about it and I know other people might hear my story, I just hope it helps them. Sexual abuse is something that people consider taboo and they don't talk about it. But I want to show that it is possible to talk about it and that it does not matter”, she concludes.

If Demi Lovato wanted to tell her story in this documentary, it is to make people who have experienced the same thing understand that it is "possible to heal. When the time is right and you feel ready, you can talk about it. and that will allow you to heal”, she says before specifying: “You will feel so much more autonomous. You will be free from shame”. For the singer, the reconstruction has not always been obvious: "There are going to be ups and downs but once the person has decided to face this trauma, it is so gratifying". This sexual assault, Demi Lovato suffered it in 2018. "When they found me, I was naked, blue. I was literally left for dead after he took advantage of me. When I woke up in the hospital, they asked me if we had consensual sex. I had a flash of seeing it on me. I said yes. It wasn't until a month after that overdose that I realized, 'You were in no condition to make a consensual decision,' she revealed. A trauma that she had a hard time forgetting.

Another shocking confidence

In this documentary, Demi Lovato wanted to free herself from a weight. While gaining fame on the Disney Channel, she said she "lost my virginity to rape. I was part of that Disney team that went public that they would wait until marriage to lose their virginity. I don't didn't have that romantic first time," she says. Without revealing the identity of her attacker, she said she was "forced to see him all the time". An unbearable situation for her who "stopped eating". As a reminder, she has long suffered from eating disorders. After which, the young woman explains that she finally decided to talk about what happened to her to adults, specifying however that her attacker "never had any trouble for it".

At 10:43 I'm a man and I think I'm normal and not a pervert, but yes men are voyeurs by nature so a nice cleavage catches the eye, that's how it is and it's not about to change.

She dresses how she wants, that's no reason to attack her. If you men are not able to control yourself, seek treatment.

This may explain it.. If she presents herself, even today, bare breasts and provocative cleavage, we should not be surprised that she exists the poor in spirit...

Lamentable comment .... she is not naked and even though that does not give all the rights ... it is still strange, everywhere, where there is a problem of aggression, there are guys who don't have never evolved ..... and who thinks it's always the fault of women .... what a macho and p...c mentality
