ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - You might expect a lot of glamorous footage of Demi Lovato in the new YouTube-exclusive documentary that she co-produced — and you won’t be disappointed.
She’s often shown in flattering light, in slow motion with perfect hair and makeup.
But there’s also a lot of ugly stuff, too.
Lovato spills the beans about her years of drug abuse, her eating disorder and even the time she angrily punched one of her backup dancers in the face.
She discusses being bipolar, says she’s still in love with her ex, Wilmer Valderrama, and that she constantly worries about what she did or didn’t eat.
We see her suggestively sucking her thumb while stretched out on a bed in her underwear and giving us a come-hither look in wet hair, but also hear about a cocaine bender that ended with her in a psych ward.
She admits drinking so much one night that she threw up on the way to a crucial performance for “American Idol,” a gig she eventually did very hung over.
“It’s embarrassing to look back at the person that I was,” Lovato says in the film, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, who has directed music videos for DNCE, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande and Lovato, among many others, but is making her debut here as a full-length director.
