Demi Lovato To Open Up About Overdose, Why She's Ready To Talk Now

After two years, Demi Lovato is finally ready to talk about her 2018 overdose.

According to The Sun, an insider revealed that up until now, the 27-year-old pop star didn't have it in her to talk about such a dark moment in her life.

"Demi’s experience in 2018 was horrific and will continue to affect her for years to come, so she hasn’t felt able to speak about it properly yet," the source shared. "But she has written much of her upcoming album about the situation and wants to address exactly what happened to her in the hope she can prevent anyone else suffering a similar experience."

In July 2018, Lovato was found unconscious at her Los Angeles home. Narcan, which is used to treat opiod overdoses, was reportedly used before she was rushed to the hospital.

"She has been nervous about speaking about what happened because she doesn’t want anything to be misconstrued, so decided her own series would be the best way as she will have the power to control exactly what is spoken about," the insider revealed.

"Much of it has already been done and the plan is for it to be released this summer," they added.

In 2017, Lovato partnered with YouTube for "Demi Lovato: Simply Confidential", a documentary about the making of her album "Tell Me You Love Me," her sexuality, and her personal struggles. Now, she's teaming up with the streaming giant again for a new documentary series.

Deadline reports that the series will be produced by the same company behind the Justin Bieber docuseries, "Seasons." Deadline claims Lovato saw Bieber's series and got back in touch with YouTube for the new project. Both artists have the same manager: Scooter Braun.

The new series, which is currently untitled, will focus on the last three years, which saw the singer and actress fall off the wagon, survive an overdose, get sober and then return with show-stopping performances at the Grammys and the Super Bowl.
