E2 DANCING WITH THE DEVIL

Comments

Heida

Demi's father, Patrick, died from cancer in 2013 when they were 20 and he was 53. As they said, they didn't really have a relationship. He was mentally ill (bipolar schizophrenia) and an addict. He was also abusive to their mom, though Demi was only 2 when their parents divorced so they didn't really remember him. Their mom Dianna soon married their stepfather Eddie (who Demi considers their dad), and they had Madison, Demi's half-sister. They also have an older sister, Dallas. I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume you have not seen Desperate Housewives, but Madison starred on the later seasons of that show as Eva Longoria's daughter. Demi, Dianna and at least Dallas have all struggled with an ED and Demi & Dianna have both struggled with substance abuse. Not sure if Madison dealt with that but she was bullied for her weight when she was younger which really affected her self-esteem. Demi created the Lovato Treatment Scholarship Program in their father's honor to help people with mental illness who can't afford treatment or get the resources they need. They have also written several songs about him: For the Love of a Daughter, Shouldn't Come Back, Father and Butterfly. Each song really tells a story of how Demi has viewed their father and shows their growth, going from being angry and hurt to "accepting" his death while mourning what could have been. The overdose happened on July 24th 2018, a month after Demi had released the single Sober (where they revealed they had relapsed after six years of sobriety). Demi's assistant Jordan, the doctors, nurses and everyone who helped Demi recover saved their life and I will forever be grateful. The video for the song Dancing with the Devil is a detailed re-creation of the events of that night, right down to the green jacket they wore, their hair (which they had cut when it was filmed), the look of the drug dealer etc. The fact that they were able to re-create one of the worst nights of their life is amazing and incredibly brave. Also, I'm not gonna say his name because I don't want to give him the satisfaction, but after Demi's OD their drug dealer did a weird interview with TMZ where he claimed Demi knew what drugs they were (in spite of him not even knowing it fully) and that they had consensual sex. He was clearly high as fuck and not willing to take responsibility for anything. I think he was arrested for heroin possession some time later but I doubt he got any punishment for it.

I feel like this seemed fast and the skip over her past because they covered all of it in her other documentary “simply complicated “. They dive deep into her early drug use and diagnosis.
