An artist initially groomed to be as blandly inoffensive as possible, Lovato has recently developed an impressive line in sharp, incisive lyrics, two facts that are doubtless connected. It shares not just its title with the documentary series, but much of its contents and its unflinching tone.
But then, Dancing With the Devil … The Art of Starting Over doesn’t want the listener to do that. It’s a story that feels like every ghastly tale you’ve heard about the music business wrapped into one appalling package, and it would take a superhuman effort for the listener to stop it hanging over Lovato’s first album in four years. Frankly, it seems miraculous that Lovato is alive, let alone releasing a new album. There follows a saga of anorexia, bulimia, violence, hard drugs, self-harm and ultra-controlling, coercive management that reaches a grim nadir in 2018 with Lovato taking heroin laced with fentanyl – the synthetic opioid that killed Prince – and being raped again, this time by her drug dealer, then overdosing: she suffered three strokes and a heart attack, leaving her with brain damage. She says her rapist faced no consequences, and she subsequently “had to see this person all the time”. And in the brain, it could lead to diminished blood flow and the formation of blood clots and stroke.It begins with an account of the singer being raped, aged 15, by one of her Disney Channel co-stars. And in the heart certainly that could lead to a heart attack. “And that can occur in the heart or the brain. “Some illicit drugs, like cocaine, lead to vasoconstriction and narrowing of blood vessel,” the director of the Pacific Stroke and Aneurysm Center at Providence Saint John’s Health Center added. Then the stroke or brain damage could occur due to low oxygen content in the blood.” Demi Lovato performs at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, 3/30/18 (AP) The interventional neuroradiologist, who has not treated Demi, told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY, “In an opioid overdose, if somebody were to really get down to a low level of functioning where their breathing has basically stopped. Reading was a big deal when I was able to read out of a book, which was two months later because my vision was so blurry, I dealt with a lot of the repercussions and I think they are kind of still there to remind me of what could happen if I ever get into a dark place again.”ĭemi’s stroke and lasting injuries likely mean her breathing stopped at some point, according to Dr. George Teitelbaum, MD. “For a long time, had a really hard time reading. I’m not living my life for other people.”ĭemi revealed during the virtual TCA press tour on February 16, the day before the trailer dropped, that she suffered serious, lasting side effects after the overdose. “I don’t drive a car because I have blind spots in my vision,” she told reporters. I’m ready to get back to doing what I love, which is making music. Like my cat, you know? I’m on my ninth life. “Any time that you suppress a part of yourself, it’s gonna overflow. “I had so much to say over the past two years, wanting to set the record straight about what it was that happened,” Demi says in the trailer.
Though Demi has spoken out about the incident, the details she shared in Dancing With the Devil are by far the most detailed.
Her overdose came one month after releasing the song “Sober,” in which she confesses to relapsing after six years of sobriety.ĭemi Lovato stuns on the red carpet at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards (AP) She was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she spent a month recuperating from the medical emergency.

Doctors feared that the “Confident” singer, then 25, wouldn’t survive after she suffered three strokes and a heart attack during the ordeal.
