And to think she could have easily avoided all this drama had she just made a broad statement against 'guilt-free' labels. There was absolutely no need to target a small business for a product many others sell, and there was even less need to go on a tangent by vaguely complaining about sugar-free cookies and other diet foods. Of course, this is just following a logical line of assumptions, because based on her DMs with the company, it seems like she was just being weirdly entitled and self-centered under the guise of 'activism'. Furthermore, if the 'guilt-free' product is not even being sold there anymore and she desperately clinged to that screenshot to make her cause more credible... I have no words - it's just beyond comprehension. And no comment about that classic PR non-apology. Honey, the problem wasn't with the messaging alone, but the fact you, a multimillionaire, insisted on attacking a small business during a pandemic for something that could have easily been discussed privately. Between this and Taylor's "Ginny & Georgia" controversy, celebrities should really know better than to publicly air their grievances at an individual/group/company to their several deranged stans (not all, of course, but a loud minority that gives everyone a bad name). I want to root for Demi - still do, but she really needs to get off social media. While I'm happy everyone has come to support The Bigg Chill, it just shows how much she's a laughing stock online, and that can really ruin someone mentally, especially with some of the vile comments she frequently gets (it's one thing to call her unlikeable, and flop, or even insufferable, but to constantly mock her appearance and personal issues is just low). Demi is very easy to drag without being problematic, which is why I never understand the ones who skip past all 837 ways they can drag her to go for the one thing that shouldn't ever be on the table. Nonetheless, those people are out there and Demi has to be well aware of this fact by now. Honestly, I'm convinced that there is a part of her that is so used to being kicked while she's down that she subconsciously self-sabotages whenever too many good things start happening for her. She just released an album with decent opening sales, she has her documentary, she has a tv pilot coming...why would she torpedo herself like this? She tries to couch her not-legit behavior within her very-legit problems, still gets dragged anyway, eventually relapses bc she can't handle the heat, and starts all over again. I'd go a step beyond saying Demi needs to stay off social media and say she really needs a full year (or more) off to focus on nothing but her own mental well-being because there are so many issues she needs to unpack and being a public figure at this point is just letting her continue a really fucked up feedback loop of negative energy. And she still doesn't have a clue how to surround herself with good people or recognize her limits (I am also not a fan of that California Sober b.s.). But I've always gotten the feeling that Demi shuts out anyone who actually tries to give her tough but good advice, so...she's basically beyond help until she really wants to be a better person. I don't think Demi comprehends that being 'better' doesn't stop at being (mostly) sober.

As much as I like Demi musically the girl is a fire bomb that goes off for no reason on social media
I always hope she gets better with it but girl is a hot mess each time lol.

At least her stans are still protective and constantly on duty:

But she dropped “Tell Me You Love Me” back in 2017 so that tweet is a bit inaccurate.

That's the first time I've seen someone on Twitter trying to defend her. I was pleasantly surprised that most of her fanbase stayed silent.
I think she expected some sort of Taylor Swift/Scooter Braun type of backlash against the store from fans but ultimately her fanbase just isn't as big and the fight was 100x times dumber.

NGL the new album is easily my least favorite from her Outside of the title tracks, Lonely People, and Melon Cake the rest of the album is super flat or boring
Dancing With The Devil at least was a huge highlight but outside of that I do at least support her finding happiness in the album but the songs aren't doing anything for me Its also obviously a huge stepdown from TMYLM which I still revisit

I’m still really enjoying this album but, while I can sympathise with where she is coming from, the way she has acted over the last few days has left a sour taste when listening to the album. Especially the Karen messages

After sitting with the album my takeaways from favorite to least favorite from the project were:
Dancing With The Devil The Art Of Starting Over Melon Cake Lonely People Sunset The Way You Don't Look At Me Met Him Last Night California Sober

Scooter Braun is finally doing some damage control for his 4th biggest client, I see. Good for her, and it's a good thing regardless of her personal motivation.

She can spit in my iced tea (and lbh, she probably would if she found out it was unsweetened) for Dancing With The Devil. That song is a masterpiece.

Homegirl needs to do something. I think her music career is on its last legs, sadly. I do really enjoy her most recent album though!

Yeah, I don’t understand that. If it’s unscripted, then is it gonna be a talk show? Or video podcast kind of thing? I can’t imagine she’s an expert on this kind of subject matter where she could rattle on for hours about it but everyone has their passions, I suppose. I thought it would be like “Ancient Aliens” or something.

Hell, even if she was someone who had a huge passion for... *checks notes* UFOs? K..., is Demi Lovato someone you want to be speaking unscripted on any topic? There's a high risk of her trying to cancel an alien for eating low sodium anchovies or something.

Her team really thinks giving her even more of a platform for unfiltered talk is a good idea?
