Demi Lovato Remains Hospitalized After Overdose

FALLEN STAR

 

Sad, sad, news about this former Disney star, who has struggled for years with addiction and maintaining sobriety.

Here’s what happened:

E! Online:

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department told E! News Tuesday they “transported a 25-year-old female patient to a local hospital,” while the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed both divisions had “responded to a medical emergency” near her Hollywood Hills home; NBC News reported Lovato was taken from her home to Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

First responders who were called to the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer’s home used naloxone, an opioid-overdose antidote, to reverse the effects of the overdose, multiple sources told NBC News. TMZ originally reported she had overdosed on heroin, but then backtracked, saying it was another drug; a source close to Lovato told E! News the singer did not overdose on heroin. Audio of the emergency call, obtained by TMZ, revealed she was unconscious upon their arrival. Lovato allegedly refused to tell police and first responders what drugs had caused her overdose, according to The Blast; LAPD officers collected an “item of evidence” related to illegal drugs that are not typically associated with heroin, the website claimed. A spokesperson for the LAPD later confirmed to E! News Lovato is not under any form of criminal investigation.

E! News exclusively revealed her mom and older sister are currently by her side in the hospital. In a statement issued late Tuesday night, the “Heart Attack” singer’s publicist said, “Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers and support. Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully ask for privacy and not speculation as her health and recovery is the most important thing right now.” Lovato, who celebrated six years of sobriety in March, seemingly revealed last month she had relapsed. In the ballad “Sober,” Lovato sang, “Mama, I’m so sorry I’m not sober anymore / And daddy, please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor / To the ones who never left me / We’ve been down this road before / I’m so sorry, I’m not sober anymore.” The emotional song was released two months after fans speculated she was drinking again.

CELEBRITY SUPPORT

But Lovato doesn’t have to worry: her famous friends still have her back:

SHE’S A FIGHTER

Although this very sad, it is not a tragedy. This talented star is still alive, and she will undoubtedly keep fighting and striving to get healthy.

We can only wish her strength on her hard journey ahead, and in our hearts she is . ..
