Demi Lovato is making the heart-breaking confession that she was left feeling depressed, suicidal and practicing self-harm after being relentlessly bullied by trolls.
The singer, who’s looking happier and healthier than ever these days, made the shocking confession when she joined Van Jones on his We Rise Against Hate Tour on August 15 where Lovato revealed why it’s so important for her to speak out against bullying.
Recalling that she was once verbally abused and harassed by bullies both online and via texts while on stage at the event in Nashville, Tennessee, Demi revealed that she’s all too familiar with the pain and sadness that bullying victims feel.
“It just hurts to see so much pain and suffering that people are having to deal with,” the talented singer said. “If you don’t use your voice, especially with the platform I have, you’re being a bystander. Bystanders are just as bad as the people causing this crisis.”
