Yesterday, we talked about how Demi Lovato tried to make Zendaya’s dreadlocks Barbie all about her. After hearing of Z’s fantastic news, Demi addressed Mattel (not Zendaya) and volunteered to model for “a curvy doll or one with true to size measurements.” This was an implicit slight against not only Zendaya but also her body type. Z does have authentic measurements. She’s a real person! But Demi loves attention, and she ended up tweeting defensively: “Media and everyone online: anytime you go to post something negative, or gossipy bullsh*t, go spend time with someone you love. Life is way too short.” We have been schooled.
Demi also appears on the October cover of Complex magazine to pose topless and show off some creative wedgies. You can see the whole shoot here. She rants on all sorts of topics except for Selena Gomez. Demi and Selena made a very public friendship break in 2014, and Demi refuses to speak on the subject. Demi does, however, praise Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, and Iggy Azalea. Some excerpts:
Her body acceptance: “I noticed that Beyonce was thicker, and Nicki Minaj is thicker. Watching them really helped me learn to accept my body image, too. I’m not naturally super thin. I have an athletic body. I just have to embrace that. There are days when it’s hard to, but more and more, there are days where I’m actually proud of my body.”
Iggy is “very real”: “Iggy has really gone through sh*t and she’s come out super strong and didn’t let that take her down a devastating path. There’s respect there. The fact that she’s gone through so much and I’ve gone through so much and on a Friday night we can make gingerbread houses together instead of going out and drinking our sorrows away – that’s f***ing cool.”

Uhhh. Demi and Iggy Azalea build gingerbread houses together on Friday evenings? I find that hard to believe, but maybe gingerbread is a metaphor. Maybe it’s therapeutic. I know Demi can be kind of annoying, but she’s also a little spacey (with the mermaids and claims of feminist trailblazing ). Demi has been though a lot of stuff and some rehab stints, and she loves drama. Perhaps gingerbread soothes that urge. I have no idea.

Or, she could engage the “brain on/mouth off” switch and spare us all from her soul sucking banalities.
Just my two cents.
Spacey? Yup. Favorite interview with her: What’s your favorite dish? She replies, A mug because it can hold coffee and tea! Total Miss Congeniality moment.
God that was hard to watch. So much cringing. I still hope she was kidding.
This one is starting to grate on my nerves…
For goodness’s sake, there is no such thing as an athletic body!!!!!! Atheletic means you exercise to athlete levels and your body adjusts accordingly, but whatever your body shape, it will retain that shape whether or not you are an athlete!!!
Demi, put down your phone and go learn about actual body types. Just because Minaj and Beyonce are ‘thicker’ doesn’t mean they have ‘athletic’ bodies unless you are referencing their levels of exercise.
I dont think she said that Bey and Nicki have athletic bodies, she just said that they are thicker and that they love it. She said that she has an athletic body, and when I think of athletic I think Ciara and possibly Pink, not so much Demi. Shes lovely though and I cant see anything to be achieved from debating her body type. She is who she is.
I’m not debating her body type. I’m pointing out her ignorance of body types.
Pink is an athlete and it shows in her body. Ciara is merely toned. They both have the same body type which is banana ie shoulders, waist and hips are the same width.
Or you know, you could quit inserting yourself into everyone else’s moments and trying to make it about you. Also, maybe you should quit patting yourself on the back about hanging out with Iggy Azalea, who is a known racist, homophobe, childish Twitter bully. I’m sure in your mind, you’re some real renegade championing someone who is just so misunderstood (just like you!!!), but honestly, you don’t get a special award for staying in on a Friday night and baking, even in Hollywood. You’re wealthy and relatively successful-call it a win and attempt to quit commenting on EVERYTHING.
is she an athlete or someone who works out a ton? im not sure athletic is an apt description.
a lot of the times i see her, her clothing choices make her seem shorter and stockier, esp in the legs. she’s really not so big. she seems to talk about it a lot though, like that is her niche.
I think she is a slim girl. She has extremely thick legs though, when you see her in flats and shorts its noticeably big down there. Maybe thats where her weigh insecurities sprung from and that led to an eating disorder which now means that she has to constantly reaffirm her body acceptance. Body image is going to be a life struggle for her so I guess you can expect her to keep bringing it up.
So says the girl who doesn’t hesitate to take to social media whenever she has something to bitch about…I mean something of the utmost importance to say. Hey, Demi, do you know what “hypocrite” means? Sheesh…get over yourself already!
I’m not taking advice from that person wearing the 80’s daisy dukes over a mesh condom. The people you love and spend so much time with clearly did not bring up that questionable outfit choice. I would have a word with them.
I know it’s callous but I have to laugh at these kids and their “struggles”. Not necessarily Demi’s rehab situation but Iggy. Iggy is not strong. She’s an a**hole and when did that become “going through a lot”? It’s like Bieber, who has to “take so much” from … the world I guess. Yes, because you’re an a**hole. Goddamn it.
Stop talking!!
Sitting on a banana with her boobs out.
Subtle.
Yup. She hates attention. Yup. And doesn’t want anyone to talk about her. Yup.
I don’t know who that is on the magazine cover, but it looks nothing like her. She’s been photoshopped to death.
Selena and Demi just posted a silly selfie together a few weeks back. They aren’t “broken up”.
She looks different in this pic- when I first glanced at her face I thought ‘Lea Michelle’ for some reason.
Photoshop! I really don’t like Demi! I find her annoying!
Same!! I find her super annoying. Don’t like her music either. I can’t believe she’s only 23, I thought she was at least 30.
She always preaches about body acceptance and how much she loves her body yet she’s is photoshopped to death on every magazine cover. They take inches upon inches off her. I genuinely believe she uses the rehab discussion because it makes her relevant. It’s been what, five years? At some point she needs to get over it and move on. She’s a broken record who doesn’t even practice what she preaches. Seriously, if you want to show how much you love your body and how you want to promote healthy body image then stop photoshopping everything to death! Lord almighty she irks me.
I’m confused. Wasn’t her comment about Zendaya’s Barbie gossipy and negative???
I’m officially over Demi Levato. The End.
