Demi Lovato Opens Up About Forced Sex With Drug Dealer On Night Of Nearly Fatal Overdose

Demi Lovato opened up about a rather dark phase in her life in her upcoming YouTube docuseries. Lovato, who’s been vocal about her struggles with drug abuse, revealed earlier this week that she was sexually assaulted and “left for dead” by the dealer who delivered her a heady mix of heroin and other drugs on an eventful night that could’ve cost her life.

“I remembered him lying on top of me, so I said, ‘yes,’” said Lovato in her YouTube docuseries, “Dancing with the Devil.”. “It wasn’t until maybe a month after my overdose that I realized, ‘Hey, you weren’t in any state of mind to make a consensual decision,'. That kind of trauma doesn’t go away overnight,” she added, recalling the spine-chilling incident that occurred about three years ago.

Lovato also admitted that the nightmarish incident wasn’t the last time she overdosed on drugs, as she experiences a re-lapse shortly after. “I wish I could say the last night that I ever touched heroin was the night of my overdose but it wasn’t,” said the “Heart Attack” singer in the docuseries, while also adding how she wanted to get even with her drug dealer, whom she refused to name.

“I wanted to rewrite his choice of violating me. I wanted it now to be my choice, and he also had something that I wanted, which was drugs. I ended up getting high,” she averred, as cited on Page Six.

While she claims to be clean from the drugs that once pushed her to hit rock bottom, and left her hospitalized, Lovato added that she hasn’t yet entirely abstained herself from marijuana or alcohol. “I’ve learned that shutting the door on things makes me want to open the door even more,” she said. “I know I’m done with the stuff that’s gonna kill me … but I wish that I could get some relief maybe through like weed or something, right?” she added.
