Demi Lovato Says ‘I Will Keep Fighting’ to Not Overdose Again

Did Demi Lovato’s drug overdose cause brain damage? That was one of my thoughts after her overdose. Her bodyguard found her unconscious, not breathing and “there was also vomit and her airways may have been clogged.” Yum.

It was so bad that her assistant yelled “She’s dead, she’s dead!” when he first found her.

No one has actually said there wasn’t brain damage; let’s hope there wasn’t.

Today, Lovato issued a statement on Instgram. She thanked God (of course?), her family, her team, the doctors and the staff at Cedars-Sinai who saved her.

Credit to God and fans:

I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well. To my fans, I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond. Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this difficult time.

Of course, the doctors too:

Left out were her enabler friends who probably did drugs with her, freaked out when she went unconscious and flew out of her house to leave her to die.

Lovato should get back together with Wilmer Valderrama. She seemed to do better in life when they were together. The guy has been visiting her every day in the hospital since her overdose. Have her friends done the same? No. If she’s smart, she’ll know who’s really on her side.

Lovato’s full statement below:

“I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction. What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet.

I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well. To my fans, I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond. Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this difficult time.

I want to thank my family, my team, and the staff at Cedars-Sinai who have been by my side this entire time. Without them I wouldn’t be here writing this letter to all of you.

I now need time to heal and focus on my sobriety and road to recovery. The love you all shown me will never be forgotten and I look forward to the day where I can say I came out the other side.”

I will keep fighting.”
