Last week, Demi Lovato’s alleged ‘Finsta’ account that trashed Selena Gomez was leaked
for the world to see, and now Demi is speaking out on the #Demilovatoisover party, ‘cancel
culture’ and how she really feels when the Internet suddenly turns on her.
What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad back here with Clevver News, and if anyone, Demi
Lovato knows a little thing or two about ‘cancel culture’.
It was a Friday like any other, last week, as we were just about to wind down for the
weekend and peruse our socials one last time before melting into the couch, when we realized
we were late to one specific party…
That party, in question, was the #DemiLovatoIsOverParty that began trending all over Twitter after
Demi’s alleged ‘Finsta’ leaked last week, basically revealing an entire page dedicated
to trash-talking Selena Gomez.
Some fans were quick to defend Demi for just needing a place to vent, while MANY others
sided with Selena, claiming that Demi has always had it out for her former
Disney Channel rival.
Many have been waiting eagerly for Demi to address the ‘Finsta’ accusations or at
least attempt to defend herself, but over the past week all we’ve heard is radio silence…
Until yesterday, that is…
Demi sat down with The Good Place star Jameela Jamil to chat about the effect ‘cancel culture’
has on her self image on her ‘I Weigh With Jameela Jamil’ podcast, and let’s just
say Demi has grown pretty numb to all the hearsay.
We’re gonna get into Demi’s interview, but before we do, don’t forget to hit that
subscribe button if you haven’t already, and ring that bell so you never miss a breaking
news update.
Alright, so just in case anyone was worried about this whole ‘cancel culture’ taking
a toll on Demi, lemme put it this way: You know when you’re exposed to something so
much you basically become numb to it?
A bit like Kardashian cheating scandals, for instance.
By now, not much phases us, and that’s pretty much how Demi feels about RSVPing to the #DemiLovatoIsOverParty
on a weekly basis as heard from her latest interview:
This is really great news for the fans who are out to protect Demi and her mental health
at all costs.
Demi then shed some light on the fact that this whole ‘being over’ title isn’t
even real, adding QUOTE, “I don’t think that anybody was ever officially canceled,
otherwise certain people wouldn’t have Grammys today, certain people wouldn’t have Oscars,
and certain people wouldn’t be where they are in their positions.”
One thing that Demi did suggest people practice more of is forgiveness, BUT that there are
some exceptions to being cancelled.
Demi went on to add that messing up one time and apologizing and owning up to your mistakes
should not constitute them as being cancelled indefinitely.
She explained, “Let that be an example for other people so that they can change.
You can’t change unless you address what’s wrong and provide a solution.
If there’s no solution, there’s not gonna be change.”
I couldn’t have said that better myself, but I think this is a good point to stop and
get your opinion on Demi’s interview -- what are your thoughts on cancel culture?
And when celebs make mistakes, what do you want to see from them to be able to give them
a second chance?
Chime in down below in the comments, and as with anything said by celebrities, opinions
are still flooding social media over the fact that Demi might’ve addressed cancel culture,
but she hasn’t apologized, that is, if that finsta was in fact hers.
One user tweeted, “She still didn’t apologize!!
Cancel culture may not affect her but she’s being exposed as problematic and a bad person.”
The fact that Demi hasn’t ‘apologized’ or addressed the alleged ‘Finsta’ leak
is also leading many fans to believe that the news was all fake.
Another user responded by saying, “Why would you apologize for something that you didn’t
do?
The one who should be apologizing are the people who spread the fake news who can’t
even prove that the screenshots are real.”
Others pointed out that this interview was likely recorded well before the fake screenshots
went viral, saying, “she recorded this weeks before the latest cancel party, people really
do be living in her head rent free.
QUEEN OF REMAINING UNBOTHERED AND MAKING HER 100 FANDOMS PRESSED!”
Demi’s interview with Jameela also brought to light another ongoing issue with some Taylor
Swift fans, especially now that Demi’s manager is Taylor’s arch nemesis Scooter Braun.
Swifties who tuned into the podcast weren’t exactly pleased with the fact that her interview
apparently goes against her friendships with other celebs, specifically Taylor.
Since then, Jameela has been forced to address the hate she’s been receiving for the past
24 hours, taking to Twitter to rest her case.
She wrote, “I’m not being dragged into celebrity feuds.
I’m 34.
I’m not involved in any of these dynamics.
I don’t care which of them dislike each other.
I’m interviewing interesting humans sharing their unique mental health journeys that may
help others to learn about.”
Jameela then shut down one fan who claimed she was “best friends with Taylor Swift,”
saying QUOTE, “I know and like all of these women separately.
Their inter personal histories and relationships are not my fight/business.
Not all humans have to get along.
Not all women have to get along.
It is not as black and white as the internet decides it is.
Humans are very complicated.”
So basically this whole interview has come full circle once again, and now we’re back
to this whole ‘cancel culture’ topic, but I do have to hand it to Jameela for keeping
the peace and staying out of other celebrities’ beef no matter what that status of their friendship
may be.
