Demi Lovato Compares Being Quarantined to Rehab: "I'm Glad I've Already Done This A Few Times In My Life!"

In an recent episode of Jameela Jamil’s iWeigh podcast, Demi Lovato reveals being quarantined is like being in rehab, “I‘m much more used to self-isolation, but I’m also really used to it because I was joking with some friends that I met in treatment. I was like, ‘This just feels like rehab.'”

Demi explains, “You’re on lockdown at a facility, which most of the time was like a house-looking place or they’ve got beds, except in rehab you don’t get TV or your phone, so this is luxurious.  You don’t get to go to the store whenever you want or Postmate whatever you want.  It’s just interesting. I was like, ‘I’m glad that I’ve already pretty much done this a few times in my life.’  What’s funny is, one, I’m a homebody because I don’t love fame.  When it comes to paparazzi or getting recognized, things like that, that’s just not a part that I really enjoy, so I stay home anyways. I’m a homebody.”

Demi also made sure to address ‘cancel culture’ – earlier in the week, fans believed Demi had a second (private) Instagram account and used it to throw shade towards her former BFF, Selena Gomez.

“Demi says, I’ve been cancelled so many times that I can’t even count.  “The hashtag #DemiIsOverParty that whole thing doesn’t even affect me anymore.  It’s just not real.  “I don’t think that anyone was ever officially cancelled otherwise certain people wouldn’t have Grammys today. Certain people wouldn’t have Oscars.”

Demi continues, “Where is the forgiveness culture?  If you have used up your second and third chances with a certain topic, you’re cancelled and you should stay cancelled. But if you mess up and apologize and you come forward and say ‘I’ve learned from this,’ then let that be an example for other people so that they can change too.  You can’t change unless you address what’s wrong and provide a solution. If there’s no solution, there’s not going to be change.  That’s why the cancel culture will not work unless people have some sort of mercy.”
