The headlines about Demi Lovato have been pretty random since their four-part documentary about their addition and overdose last year. There’s been quite a bit about their mental health and sobriety, but then there’s also been a weird grudge against a yogurt shop, their recasting in their pilot, and their alien investigation show. Over the years, Demi has spoken before about believing in things like aliens and mermaids and they live in LA, so it’s not totally surprising they have a giant crystal. What is surprising is it caused them a head injury that required stitches.
Demi Lovato joined Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday and revealed to the guest host, YouTuber extraordinaire Mark Rober, that they suffered a minor head injury at home on Wednesday night. Lovato wore a wig to cover the injury for the appearance on the show, and explained the slightly embarrassing way in which the accident happened.
“I have, like, this, literally an amethyst that is about this tall,” Lovato said, holding their hand a few feet off the ground. Rober cut in, saying, “And sharp, I assume.” “Well, it’s just really heavy, and there’s pieces that are sharp,” Lovato responded. “Anyways, I went to bend down to pick something up and I didn’t see the amethyst, and I hit my head, and I had to get three stitches last night in my face.”
Lovato posted a TikTok following the injury, showing the cut above their eye, and maybe just a little embarrassment and/or frustration.
And Lovato took the next logical step.
“I called my doctor,” Lovato said, “and I was like, ‘Hey, I just hit my face. Do I need stitches?’ And he was like, ‘FaceTime me.’ So we FaceTimed, and I was like, ‘I have Kimmel tomorrow. What do I do?’”
Stitches and a wig were the clear solution.
Demi talked about this on their Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance. Apparently, they have a large amethyst crystal in their home and leaned over to pick something up near it, and hit their head. They had to get three stitches above their eye the night before their appearance on the show. Is this a weird story? I don’t know. Maybe it was just a clumsy incident. It does sound like something that could happen to anyone. I’ve definitely bumped my head on the underside of a table when getting something from underneath. Stories about home injuries are always a bit weird though. Like Zac Efron slipping in his home. Usually people know where stuff is in their own homes, but maybe it’s different if you’re a celeb and you have people in and out and moving stuff around in your home. Anyway, who knew crystals could be so dangerous! They’re supposed to have healing properties. I hope Demi is okay and their head heals quickly; cuts are so annoying.
@ddlovato Guess who hit their head on a crystal and has to get stitches before Kimmel tomorrow??? 🙋🏻🙋🏻 #substance #fuck ♬ THEY ARE GONNA KNOW – Heliqs

Home accidents are so annoying and can be scary if one lives alone or no one is around. Glad they’re okay.
As someone who has hit their head on the underside of cabinets, my dryer door, and walls… while just doing regular stuff, not gymnastics in my living room or anything, yeah I can totally see something like that happening.
I’m more confused why they decided to wear a wig due to a cut on their eyebrow. I’m guessing Demi explains that at some point?
As someone who hit her head on the bedpost last night and has a small scar above her left eyebrow from unexpectedly colliding with a nightstand a few years ago, I can understand how quickly something like that can happen.
“Usually people understand where things are in their home” kind of silly thing to say, home injuries happen all the time. My husbands 6’4” and has hit his head on the same light fixture so many times I can’t even count anymore. I’ve bumped myself on chairs and counters passing by. It happens!
Also this wig is giving rocker Dora lol
I bent down to pick up my dropped shopping list and banged my face on a wrought-iron barstool in my own home and needed stitches. It left a small (hardly noticeable now) scar over my left eyebrow, so I can easily understand this story. I just forgot the barstool, which had always been there, was in my way. It was embarrassing while it was healing, I did feel like people (esp. those who don’t know me well) were side-eyeing my story. But it’s the truth! I hope Demi’s injury heals well and they don’t have any other mishaps around the house.
I have constant bruises on my arms and legs from bumping in to things. I’ve sprained my ankle from slipping on my stairs probably a dozen times. Some of us are just clumsy.
I’ve done stuff like this so many times. Having a giant amethyst is the weirdest part of this.
Well, I can be clumsy, so note to self: don’t have any large cut gems on display.
Feel better, Demi. I started buying/wearing crystals in the hopes of improving my life and luck. Love you!
