[Mystic Mock]

Hopefully this horrible situation will change her and make her be more like the person that you want her to be?

Anyway I hope that she's okay.

[UserSince2005]

is this why the druggy cancelled her london show last month?

[armand.kay]

wtf

[Greg!]

Omg hope she makes it through this!

[Shaun]

Heroin is the absolute worst drug of them all, such a nasty addiction. Hope she gets the right help.

[Oliver_W]

Didn't her dad die on like the same day she did Grease Live?

I really hope the OD was a mistake through partying too hard, rather than her trying to do something stupid...

[Matthew.]

omg im shocked and sad to hear this news :bawling:

fingers crossed she turns out ok :fc:

[Saph]

that was vanessa hudgens I think

[Oliver_W]

that was vanessa hudgens I think

oh yeah!

[lewis111]

We don’t know what the reason was for this yet, lets not joke and mock her when this could be a potential suicide attempt

And even if it wasn’t,addiction is still an illness that needs to be taken seriously and not laughed at

[Jordan.]

All the immature twitter stans will have a field day with this but yeah addiction and mental health problems aren't a laughing matter, wishing her the best.

[reece(:]

Sis is gonna get charged for possession :eyes:

[reece(:]

Relieved she's stable now tho

Crack then?

What you saying?

I assume overdose means DEATH

[Redway]

I assume overdose means DEATH

At least read the story.

[hijaxers]

I assume overdose means DEATH

No no its means overdose, very often they pump stomachs and such like - people recover -psychiatrists then get involved , if they are not already.

[Wizard.]

At least read the story.

I don't have time to read about her drug abuse

[michael21]

At least read the story.

How about you stop telling people what to do if you cant handle this type of story then go to part of the froun that don't upset you

[Redway]

I don't have time to read about her drug abuse

Then set aside that time doing something other than posting about something you're not arsed enough to read about.

[Glenn-C]

I hope this is a big wake-up call for her and she gets the help she needs. I feel so bad for her that she's gotten back to the way she was. Hope she pulls through and leaves it all behind for good this time

[RileyH]

Say NO to drugs

Obviously not.

Hope she recovers and gets the necessary help she needs... :love:

[Alf]

Is she someone famous then?

[JerseyWins]

Demi giiiirl :skull:

Hope she's ok though! And gets help if it's an addiction!

[Nicky91]

Demi :(


hope she's ok, and hope she gets help if it's an addiction i agree what Jersey said

[Crimson Dynamo]

Is she someone famous then?

she sang a song with Olly Murs as I recall but she is a USA pop lady and it seems a junkie. They revived her with Narcan so looks like she got her dose wrong or the drug was stronger than anticipated

Have no time for such idiots. Great voice, successful career and all she can do is act like some down and out druggie. Waste of space in my opinion.

It happens to a lot of unhappy people when they reach stardom - the thing that they thought would finally make them "happy" - and they aren't happy. In a lot of ways it's worse. Because if you haven't achieved your goals you have something to strive for - you can say "well hey life is tough now but if I just keep working hard one day it'll be great". But if you HAVE achieved your goals, you have to accept that something deeper is wrong.

Also Brillo... do you still work in the NHS? Because if you genuinely "have no time for" people who are clearly facing deep personal struggles, you should quit. I'm not even joking. Just quit. You are not cut out for any sort of caring profession.

[RileyH]

So annoying when people call you out for being a dumb child isn't it

Oop

[user104658]

Fine; then transition into an administrative role. I don't know what she does. If it is that, then that's not a problem, if it's any sort of frontline patient care then it's a deeply concerning attitude.

There are many people much more deserving of care than her in my opinion. Besides she can buy all the private treatment she wants/needs - I don’t think the NHS will be involved. - do you!

Morphin’s the worst of the worst. No one deserves the lows that come with it. Not even your worst enemy.

[Redway]

Seen the edit in my post and Brillopad’s SD thread. I’m with her on something for a change.

What’s the point in having the option to discuss if we think grown men and women aren’t thick-skinned enough to take minor insults, hm?

[Tom4784]

Considering she overdosed in Hollywood, I doubt she wasted NHS resources.

I'm glad that she's woke up.

[GoldHeart]

That's terrible ! , not another music artist going down the drug addiction route again

[Ashley.]

That's quite a narrow-minded view of things, Brillo, no disrespect... Addiction isn't a choice. Fame doesn't equal happiness. If we can spare time for people with depression, we can also spare time for people who are suffering so much that they have to resort to drug abuse.

[Mystic Mock]

That's terrible ! , not another music artist going down the drug addiction route again

I think that singers get pressured into Drugs to look "cool" especially the Pop singers because they're trying to appeal to a younger crowd than the other Music genres, and then what sadly happens is they get hooked and they can't get off it like what's happening to Demi Lovato here and what's happened to countless other singers over the years.

What needs to happen more often in the Music Industry is just let the singers be themselves which would give them a better chance at being happy.

[Aaliyah]

I just feel as though if this was your average homeless person we'd all be saying ''good, just another junkie!'' and laughing at them, but since it's a celebrity we're all rooting for her to get help? Why not root for everyone who does heroin to get help.

IDK about this.

[Aaliyah]

As for people saying ''addiction isn't a choice'' - no one forced her to put the first needle in her arm!

What sick bastard would celebrate a homeless person ODing on Heroin?

[Ashley.]

Considering I'm the only one who has actually said this I'll assume you're aiming this comment at me, and I don't doubt that it was her choice. But that would have been before it became an addiction. Generally, you're not addicted to something when you're doing it for the first time. That's quite obvious.

[AnnieK]

Echoing what TS said earlier as well, so many celebrities become addicts due to personal sadness. They are surrounded by a bevvy of "yes men" and are able to hide the extent of their abuse much better than joe public. This leads to a spiral of addiction and rehab usually. They also have the disposable income needed to sustain and feed the habit. It is a tough circle to break. I have massive empathy for anyone with addiction issues, addiction is an illness in itself.

Hope Demi manages to sort her demons and get well.

[Redway]

How about you just don't insult people?

And how about we let people grow a bit of thick skin on here for a change?

It’s a Big Brother forum. I don’t expect anyone to come on here feeling the need to be wrapped in some procteted bubble. Let people have it out with each other if the alternative is threads being deleted for no reason other than someone expressing a different opinion in a non-mega-PC way.

What Brillopad said about Demi Lovato ruffled more feathers and crossed more lines than I said putting aside artificial rules and protocol.

[Crimson Dynamo]

i think its around 50 people every day OD in the USA and die so she was lucky

[Aaliyah]

Ashley who in their right mind would do heroin once anyway

So the answer to such views is to insult them? That's utter bull****.

Someone having problematic views, like Brillo has in this thread, doesn't give you the right to insult them. Instead you should respond to what they are saying the right way, beat them in a debate, not by pelting them with insults.

Somebody else's actions do not justify your own.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Ashley who in their right mind would do heroin once anyway

yes, i have heard its quite more-ish

[user104658]

Ashley who in their right mind would do heroin once anywayThe thing is though, the stories of most people who go down that path are just pretty horrible. I mean just some really unthinkable, messed up stuff.

No one sets out to become an addict, be it drugs or alcohol, and yes with something like heroin that "first time" is a stupid decision, but at the time it happens it tends to be that the person just isn't thinking or doesn't care enough not to be tempted. Past trauma is a HUGE factor with heroin addicts. It's not every single case but it is a large percentage.

That of course doesn't excuse some of the crimes that many addicts go on to commit, and obviously not every person with a bad past ends up an addict, but it's certainly not as simple normal well-adjusted people just one day stupidly deciding to try a spot of smack.

[Aaliyah]

I'm sorry but no one forced her to take heroin!

[user104658]

I'm sorry but no one forced her to take heroin!Well... So what? The vast majority of health problems can be traced back to some lifestyle choice or other but that doesn't mean you can't have sympathy for people?

If your best friends dad had a heart attack and they were upset, would you say "Well no one forced him to overeat and smoke!"?

Or a lung cancer victim? Or someone injured in a parachute jump? Or or or.

Obviously it's not exactly the same but people do all sorts of things, for all sorts of reasons, and it doesn't mean you can't feel bad for them when their life derails :shrug:

[GoldHeart]

Who knows what possessed her to take Heroin of all drugs!!! :umm2: , it's one of the worst drugs out there and kills so many people .

She got called ignorant. However will she live with such an abusive post?

[Aaliyah]

I'm sorry but the thing is no one forced her

[Jordan.]

It's kinda easy for someone with a clear mind to say well no one forced her though, from her history it's clear she has some unresolved mental and insecurity issues and likely took drugs as a form of escape rather than just being careless.

Question is who gave her the drugs, it's so vast the drug scene I swear too many people have "dealer connections" , so it's probably more than one person :bored:

[Denver]

I blame Disney

[Shaun]

As someone who's lost a relative to heroin addiction I hope none of you have someone similar go through the same... not because it'd be an obvious harrowimg experience, but because I can't imagine having support like the like seen on here...

[Ammi]

..I don’t really know much about Demi tbh...she’s not someone I’ve followed in her celebrity career...but heroin is a demon addiction once it has you in it’s hold...I hope she manages to escape that hold...I hope she has the support circle, the strength, the force of her fan’s well wishes...I hope it all comes together for her to find a path that isn’t a destructive one...good luck, Demi..:hug:...

[AnnieK]

if someone from my family did heroin i'd trap them in a room cold turkey and board the windows up

Easy to say until they start rattling. Screams of agony, hallucinations, sickness for days on end. Even clean they will still likely relapse being forced into cold turkey,unless as TS says you're going keep them captive forever.

[Aaliyah]

Forever?

Probably

[ethanjames]

i,,,, wow its not the persons fault they have become addicted

I wish her a speedy recovery.
I don’t know Demi, but it sounds like she has succumb to the temptation, hopefully she will get all the love and support to help her fight the battle of her addiction.

Well said...and if you ever want an ear to discuss it with there are plenty kind hearted souls on here that would listen.

[Beso]

..I’m going to assume that Ailiyah’s posts were only meant for a little bit of trolling and a little bit of baiting and a little bit of this and a little bit of that and a little bit of provoking those very responses those posts were designed for...yep, I’m going to assume that...


..Ailiyah, Ailyah pants on fire...I imagine your heart is filled to the brim with understanding of awful addictions ...

I think the post came from a heart filled with love for their family members.:shrug:

[user104658]

I think the post came from a heart filled with love for their family members.:shrug:

Well then it also comes from a place of ignorance because going cold turkey from heroin A) doesn't work if it's forced and not voluntary and B) can cause serious health complications, including death.

Also, other than that one post most of her point seemed to be that "No one forces someone to be an addict, therefore it is their own fault, therefore they deserve no sympathy".

It's true that no one forces it, though there can be complicated circumstances, so "whose fault it is" is tricky and irrelevant. Either way, someone being in a bad position through making mistakes is still deserving of compassion and sympathy... why wouldn't they be? NO ONE is perfect. Some people **** up worse than others, but we all **** up. If an addict hasn't done anything to hurt anyone (other than themselves, and their loved ones because of what they're doing to themselves) then why wouldn't people be compassionate? It's different when someone has turned to violent crime like mugging people to support a habit, I get it when people lack sympathy then, but most addicts are not actually violent criminals :shrug:.

[edit] I'm not trying to lecture you on this parm as I know from past posts there's absolutely no need to. I'm just pointing out that people have very valid reasons for criticising Ailiyah's posts.

[Ninastar]

You sound positively charming
