Demi Lovato's BRAIN DAMAGE Diagnosis Revealed!
new documentary reveals just how severe the aftermath from her overdose was, and how she’s
living with permanent brain damage.
Demi Lovato isn’t being forced to talk about every detail of her 2018 overdose, nor is
she being paid a bunch of extra cash to release this tell-all: she’s simply choosing to
share every last detail of what led to her breakdown at her own expense as she comes
to terms with her past mistakes.
The trailer for the upcoming four-part docu-series Dancing With The Devil was released on Wednesday,
as Demi takes fans into what really happened prior to her nearly-fatal overdose, and also
explains how she is still living with the repercussions today.
Not only did fans get a sneak peek of what’s to come, but the title track song “Dancing
With The Devil” was also previewed as Demi sings, “It’s just a little red wine, I’ll
be fine,” before staring into the camera and saying QUOTE, “FYI, I’m just gonna
say it all, and if we don’t want to use any of it, we can take it out…”
SPOILER ALERT: by the sound of it, there won’t be much that’s actually filtered or taken
out of the series.
Demi’s entire family and her close friends appear in the documentary where they also
share details of the traumatic events they endured after getting that 9-1-1 call in July
of 2018, explaining that Demi was very good at “making you believe that she’s ok,”
and “hiding what she needs to hide.”
Many were in agreeance about some difficult truths to grasp, saying QUOTE “She should
be dead,” to which Demi admitted, “Any time you suppress a part of yourself, it’s
gonna overflow.”
Demi went on to confess that she suffered three strokes and a heart attack, suggesting
that it’s an absolute miracle she’s alive today:
“My doctors said that I had five to ten more minutes.”
During a press call shortly after the trailer was released as part of the Television Critics
Association press tour, Demi admitted she still deals with the aftermath of the overdose
and mentally, isn’t fully back to 100%.
She said QUOTE, “I was left with brain damage, and I still deal with the effects of that
today.
I don't drive a car because there are blind spots in my vision.
I also for a long time had a really hard time reading.”
Although the effects have lingered for almost three years since everything went down, Demi
went on to admit, “I feel like they kind of are still there to remind me of what could
happen if I ever get into a dark place again.”
She also revealed that she’s QUOTE “grateful for those reminders,” but that she’s also
grateful she didn’t have to do an intense amount of rehab, adding, “The rehabbing
came on the emotional side and the therapeutic side, internally.
I did a lot of work after that — just not physically.”
Demi felt it was important to be open and honest with fans as she describes this documentary
as “an intimate portrait of addiction,” and “the process of healing and empowerment.”
Dancing With The Devil will be available to stream on YouTube starting March 23rd
