What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News, and Demi Lovato is once
again teaming up with YouTube for a four-part docu-series about Demi’s personal and musical
evolution over the past three years.
Demi Lovato has proven herself to be a warrior time and time again amid the trials and tribulations
she’s endured throughout her entire career.
She’s also been known to be an advocate for mental health as she’s suffered from
depression, addiction and bipolar disorder for years, giving fans much more insight into
her struggles with the release of her 2017 YouTube docuseries “Simply Complicated.”
The hour and 18 minute-long short film takes fans into Demi’s most personal confessions
as she rose to fame and faced many complications with eating disorders, drugs and alcohol that
almost ended it all.
Many fans thought the 2017 docuseries was Demi’s comeback as she appeared to have
conquered her addiction, however; she tragically relapsed in July of 2018 and overdosed in
her Hollywood Hills home.
Following a stint in rehab after leaving the hospital, along with her comeback performance
at the 2020 Grammy Awards AND the Super Bowl, Demi appears more ready than ever to share
her story about her struggles she endured over the past three years in the currently
untitled follow-up to “Simply Complicated.”
According to YouTube, the four-part series will follow Demi “returning to show fans
her personal and musical journey over the past three years,” and will likely be a
similar to the 10-part Justin Bieber: Seasons docuseries.
Demi has since spoken out about her relapse during a March 2020 appearance on The Ellen
Show, when she revealed, “I realized that over time as the things with the eating disorder
were getting bad, over the years it progressively got worse…
It led me to being really, really unhappy.
My bulimia got really bad.”
She then recalled QUOTE, “I asked for help and I didn't receive the help that I needed.
So here I am, sober, and I’m thinking to myself, ‘I’m six years sober but I’m
miserable.
I’m even more miserable than when I was drinking, why am I sober?’”
Needless to say, fans are eager to hear what Demi has to say about her recovery in the
follow-up to “Simply Complicated.”
One user wrote, “I can’t wait.
I really wanna hear a follow-up story to this.
I know she must’ve struggled a lot over the past couple years and she has a lot on
her chest to discuss.”
Another fan tweeted, “Hate her all you want.
You can't invalidate the strength she's shown, through all of this.
We finally get to know the truth, what drove her to such a dark place and how she's handling
those demons now.
This is so important for her and for the people that look up to her.”
But it seems that many die hard Lovatics are mostly looking forward to the fact that the
quote, “rats”, that caused Demi so much hurt, will finally be exposed for the world
to see, like this fan who said, “Everyone and the world wants to know why 2018 happened
and Demi is gonna dive into it and expose the rats who emotionally abused her into a
relapse!
We love to see it.”
Just as Demi also opened about her breakup with longtime boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama
in “Simply Complicated,” there’s a strong possibility she may open up about how her
relationship with musician Max Ehrich grew to what it is now.
Although she and Max were tight-lipped about their relationship in the beginning, Demi
has been very open about letting fans in on her personal life as she recently shared a
sweet birthday message for her new beau.
She shared a slideshow of photos of some of their sweetest moments, including a lengthy
tribute to Max that read, “Being with you makes life SO MUCH FUN.
We literally act like hooligans on the daily and don’t give a F*** if we’re embarrassing
ourselves if others are around!!
I spend my days with you, bare faced and in a bathing suit.
I feel unconditionally loved and accepted by you in a way that I’ve never felt before.
I can’t explain it or you.. you’re indescribable, you beautiful, man.
You’re also such a positive lil beam of light in my life and I can’t wait to make
more birthday memories together.”
The Demi Lovato project is part of YouTube’s strategy to roll out new content, including
music, celebrity and creator-focused originals.
In addition to Demi’s docuseries, YouTube has also renewed four original projects featuring
well-known talent, including James Charles’ “Instant Influencer,” “The Creator Games
Presented by MrBeast,” a sequel to the interactive series “A Heist With Markiplier,” and
“Retro Tech” hosted by Marques Brownlee.
There is still no word on when Demi’s series will be released, but we will be sure to keep
you updated as new details are revealed.
