Demi Lovato’s Changing Her Life

Demi Lovato’s near-fatal overdose has led to her reassessing who her real friends are. Two weeks after she left rehab and returned to L.A., where she is splitting her time between her mom Dianna De La Garza’s home and a sober living facility, some Instagram comments she’s posted suggest she’s still sorting out her inner circle in a post-overdose world. That includes the singer figuring out who her real friends are.

Over the weekend, a fan posted about the singer’s team being “rotten” and claimed they “only care about her money.” The fan’s comments were related to Lovato axing her longtime trainer Danielle Martin, who the fan said “really cares about Demi’s health” while claiming others she was friends with – like her dancers – didn’t have Lovato’s best interests at heart.

That prompted more than one response from Lovato, who fired back, “You have no idea what you’re talking about,” followed that with, “True friends don’t do interviews about you when you OD.” When fans speculated she was speaking negatively about former backup dancer Dani Vitale, the star quickly responded, writing, “I’m not talking about Dani Vitale,” making it clear she was referring to Martin.

Martin had just given an interview to Radar Online saying she was deeply “hurt” by being fired by Lovato, who overdosed in July from oxy-laced fentanyl. “I lost my job for speaking up for her, to be honest,” Martin said. “Pretty sad. I did nothing but empower her. Nothing bad to say. The people around her I’m sure were happy to run to her. They told her I was taking the situation and making it all about me. I’d never do that. Not ever. I was standing up for her. That’s all.”
