According to an ET report published that same day, the musician has been distancing herself from close friends in the days leading up to Tuesday’s event.
A source reveals:
“Slowly people she cared about started to drift away from her, because it was an unhealthy situation to be around… People stopped wanting to work with her, and she pushed away people who actually had her best interest in mind.”
The insider says the 25-year-old is “just not in a good place,” and “has a lot of demons… [that] she’s been struggling [with] for a long time.”
A second source says friends have been “very worried” about the songstress because she has been “going out to clubs and staying out all night.”
“Lately she has had dark circles under her eyes and she’s been wiped out… At first, people thought she wasn’t sleeping or eating right because she often struggled with past issues of an eating disorder, but then they realized things were much worse. She was able to stay clean for a period of time, but lately she has been on a downward spiral. She seemed to be hanging around with the wrong crowd, one that dabbles in a lot of drugs.”
The insider adds:
“Her closest friends have reached out to her, but one has been able to get her to listen… [Demi] admitted to friends she was doing too much, but she blamed her behavior on her work.”
A third source says Demi “has been in a dark place recently, but was honest with herself and the people in her life,” adding:
“She’s been getting help and working on overcoming her addiction.”
As we wrote, Demi’s rep issued a statement saying she is “awake” and “with her family.”
