Demi Lovato’s Rep Is Lying
December 11th, 2008 by Evil Beet
In response to these pics of Demi Lovato sporting what look to be self-inflicted scars on her wrist, her rep has issued a statement: “Demi was wearing gummy bracelets just prior to her appearance on the red carpet and, because of how tight they were, they left indentations on her wrist.”
And everyone’s just printing this statement like it’s not obviously a bunch of complete and total bullshit.
I mean, COME ON. Yes, sometimes really tight bracelets leave indentations, but they don’t look a fucking thing like this:
I can understand not wanting to be like, “Yes, Demi’s a cutter, and you should be, too,” but Jesus Christ can we use this opportunity to take a second and talk about an absurdly wide-spread and under-discussed phenomenon among teenagers? One that’s typically a good predictor of future struggles with drugs and alcohol, volatile relationships, eating disorders and suicide? Can we please not sweep this shit under the rug like it’s so shameful and embarrassing and awful that we’ll throw out a Hail Mary like fucking gummy bracelets before copping to it? Because that sends a fucking terrible message to the kids out there who do this shit every day and aren’t really sure why and could really use any information and support you’d like to use this opportunity to put into the mainstream media.
The picture above was taken in September, at a different event. Was she wearing gummy bracelets before that shit, too?
Big hugs to you, Demi.

I love Demi. I have cut myself in the past and it does look like that. I wish she wouldn’t cut herself, but gummy bracelets don’t leave that kind of marks unless you hold it into your skin for prolonged periods of time O.o; But. I love Demi even if she does.
I’m so sick of this I’m a cutter 2 as m.o.f I just finished a cut those are burns or nail scratches u people ba d mouthin are makin it worse if it’s. True so help her know that she has our support
Why? Why do you cut yourself? I really don’t get it.. Im so stressed trying to figure it out and I just can’t find an answer… I cant sit here calmly while I know you’re harming yourself.. It’s too hard!
bitch bitch bitch
if u cant take the fact that these assholes wanna fuck ya then move ya ass to an far away island
ive cut myself before and that does not look like it they look like burns cause ive done that before too. demi is an amazing person but we shouldnt be pin pointing this out leave her alone shes still a human being
Ok, i really dont think there is a reason to swear. If Demi is cutting herself which to me it looks like she is, Then she needs to get help. Ive never cutt myself before, but i know what it looks like.Demi got bullied alot in school when she was younger and she also has been getting stressed out about the whole sonny with a chance thing on disney channel. She needs help right away because someday if she keeps doing this it will get worse and she could die. im not trying to be all negative but thats very possible. I love demi shes my idol. Yes she might be a human being and she might make mastakes, but give her a break please she deservs it.I just hope she gets help.
i know right people make mistakes and yes she does need help or else yah she will die its a definet possibility
demi dont cut ur self ur a beatiful young lady like me but im a guy i found this will i was lookng for info about micheal but i saw it said u cuted ur self and i had to say something well just dont cut the more u cut the more im sad the more u dont the more im happy and i love u demi
i dont know what gummy bracelets are (i mean, i have an idea, but im not exactly sure) but i know that i wear hair elastics around my wrists all the time, and if i leave them on for a long time, or sleep with them on, they leave marks that look just like that.
i’m sure she doesnt cut herself, but i dont know her personal life.
i’m sure that she would try much harder than that to cover them up, because she knows that she is in the public spotlight. of course she wouldnt think anything of it if she jsut took off bracelets, therefore, wouldnt try to hide it, like clearly she isnt trying to do here.
its not even like im demis biggest fan and i’m trying to protect her. i dont hate her, but i dont love her. so this is coming from someone with a completely non-biased opinion.
Demi why are you cutting your self you are a rock star why are you doing this too your self you have a great life why are u doing this if u wanna tell me why please read this and send me at azn-amani97@hotmail.com i hope u are going to tell me why
i cut myself..and yes it looks like that and i mean gummy braclets dont do that sorry….

u mother fucker! thats so fucking stupid 2 cut ur self why would u even do that ?????? why dont u tell the world everyone knows that ur EMO .Its called a picture. people look 4 that stuff. oh p.s I HATE U 4 THAT!!!
Cutting is a disease… it is not for attention and it is not something you voluntarily do. As for why she wouldn’t cover it, she probably is sick of wearing long sleeves or bracelets. She should be able to go out in public without people zooming in on her wrist with a camera.
What! omg thats what all the fuss is about!? that looks like she just left a rubberband on her wrist for too long ,but of coarse she has to blow it out of proportion all for the attention.she is such an attention hog.once the spotlight is on someone else she has to go do something stupid for the attention. >:(
omg im using these pics for my JEMI STORY
hope no one minds
If she is cutting, then I hope she stops, because I get what emotion can drive you to do sometimes. I’ve never cut myself but I have felt so much pain I just wanted to end… She needs to get someones help and i agree that it should be spoken of everywhere cos kids need to ken about it for their future and they need to learn that there are other ways of dealing with emotion. like talking to someone, anyone! It doesnt have to be your parents if your not close to them or something. It can be anyone you wish to know about it.
i think she needs new bracelets.
i think demi cutts but i don’t think it is cuz she wonts to maybe something is going on that we don’t know about but don’t hate her cuz of that we all have are problums
