Demi Lovato Rails Against Lady Gaga for Glamorizing Eating Disorders
After Lady Gaga's vomit-inducing SXSW performance wherein a woman puked all over her in the name of Doritos, another pop star has taken issue with the performance art. Demi Lovato, who has struggled with an eating disorder herself, called Gaga's spectacle a glamorization of a real disease in a series of tweets.
Sad... As if we didn't have enough people glamorizing eat disorders already. �� Bottom line, it's not "cool" or "artsy" at all.

Would you let someone bring a needle and shoot up on you? Addiction is addiction.

It's not "shade" and it's not "hate". But someone has to come forward and say it and I'll take the heat for it. ✌️

So it's cool if I do a speech about self-harm and then proceed to watch someone cut themselves on my stage? ... http://t.co/XE4CWEYtDE
