In December, five months after her overdose, Lovato revealed thatshe plans to one day shareher story with fans.
“Someday I’ll tell the world what exactly happened, why it happened and what my life is like today,” she wrote in a tweet. “But until I’m ready to share that with people please stop prying and making up s— that you know nothing about. I still need space and time to heal..” (Lovato has since deactivated her Twitter account.)
The entertainer, who hasbattled addiction, mental illness, and disordered eatingfor years, firstbroke her silenceafter her overdose on social media in August when she shared an update on her health following her hospitalization. (The post has since been deleted.)
“I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction. What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet,” Lovato wrote.
“I now need time to heal and focus on my sobriety and road to recovery,” she concluded her August post. “The love you have all shown me will never be forgotten and I look forward to the day where I can say I came out on the other side. I will keep fighting.”
