YAAAASSSSSS! PREACH, gurl!
Demi Lovato has endured a lot of struggles during her time in the spotlight, but she’s been able to overcome them and shine like the diamond that she is.
Most notably, Demicorn suffered from a horrible eating disorder — so it’s a no-brainer why she would be on the defense about this.

Newbie on the block Meghan Trainor made some comments about not being “strong enough” for an eating disorder and it, understandably, got the ├óΓé¼ΓÇ╣Neon Lights singer mad.
Just as a refresher, the All About That Bass singer shared THIS in an interview:
“I wasn’t strong enough to have an eating disorder├óΓé¼┬ªI tried to go anorexic for a good three hours. I ate ice and celery, but that’s not even anorexic. And I quit. I was like, ├óΓé¼╦£Ma, can you make me a sandwich? Like, immediately.'”
So, Dem-Dem took to her Twitter to set a couple things straight about eating disorders and mental health.
She wrote:
