Around that time, Demi was just coming out of her stay in rehab, and she came up to him and told him that his movies really got her through the tough moments in her life. As most know, Demi has been very open about her struggles with substance abuse.

During a chat with Ellen DeGeneres back in March, Demi explained what led to her relapse. Lovato said that her “bulimia” had gotten really bad and she wasn’t getting the help she needed, even though she asked for it.

She was sober, and she asked herself what was the point of being sober if she was still miserable all of the time. Lovato explained that she was even more miserable at that time than when she was doing drugs regularly.

As it was previously reported, Demi went into rehab following an overdose in 2018. Because of her experiences, Demi offered some advice for other people struggling through similar circumstances. The star urged all of those out there who are struggling to continue working at it because they’ll get through it.
