Demi Lovato Calls a Sober Living House Home (REPORT)

TMZ reports that Demi Lovato lived in a sober living house in LA during her entire X Factor run. Even more surprising is the positive spin the gossip rag uses to report the situation:

Demi Lovato is rich and famous, and can afford to live just about anywhere she wants … but we’ve learned she’s been living in a fairly spartan sober living facility for more than a year.

It’s actually pretty awesome … Demi does not want to fall back into the grip of addiction, where she found herself back in 2010, when she admitted she had problems with anorexia, bulimia and cutting.

After going to rehab, the 20-year-old seemed better, but ultimately felt she needed the support and guidance from counselors and other addicts who understood her situation.

Sources tell us … shortly after her inpatient rehab, she moved into a facility in the L.A. area.  It’s interesting … considering she also owns a very nice home in L.A..

We’re told during the entire season of “X Factor” Demi felt it was best to come home to the facility, where she wouldn’t lose her way.

As for how long she’ll stay there … it’s undetermined.

In a town with a lot of stars who never figure it out, it’s pretty amazing when you see someone as young as her make such good decisions.

Good for Demin, being committed to staying healthy…

    Yes, she problem back then and long before. As I could recall based on her online chat (found on Youtube), she postponed (then cancelled?) the last 3 dates because it was conflict with the Camp Rock 2 shooting.

    All I know is that I wouldn’t want to live in the limelight. Issues like cutting and eating disorders are deep rooted and using exacerbates them. I hope she works it out no matter what the truth of the “stories” are.

    Reading all this stuff about young stars like Bieber and Demi make me sad. Where are the parents? The teen stars who achieved success as adults, Timberlake, Beyonce, Usher and Jessica Simpson had strong parents behind them. The parents must step up.

  • mjsbigblog

    It does sound a little odd that she’s been living at this Sober Living Facility if she hasn’t had any relapses.

    Addicts move into sober living facilities typically after treatment in order to stay in a safe environment while they recover.

    Actually, I don’t find it odd that Demi would move into sober living as a preventative measure as she embarks on a new and risky phase of her life.

    As far as Blind Gossip? It may or may not be true. I’m not sure why she’d stay mum about alcohol and drug addiction while admitting to bulimia and cutting. Doesn’t really make any sense to me. 

    But who knows. In either case, I hope Demi is healthy and happy. If not, I hope she’s getting the help that she needs.

    LOL I remember there was much drama in the Archie fanbase over those postponed dates (the 3 in question were postponed, not cancelled). They were scheduled for Aug 22, 23 & 24 and filming didn’t begin for the “stars” of Camp Rock until the first week of September. It was rumored that Demi postponed because she wanted a longer break between tour and starting the movie. Who knows. The shows eventually took place on Oct 29, 30 & Nov 1 — clearly much later than scheduled. There were at least 2 other shows on that tour that were just outright cancelled with no explanation. David set up solo shows during those dates when he could in an attempt to accomodate his fans. Stories were that it was a pretty frustrating situation for him.
    I hope that the blind gossip item is wrong. Demi had alot on her at a young age and it ended as you might expect, at least in the business she’s in. I really hope that she has and continues to keep her life back where she’s truly happy and healthy. She seems to have such a fun, spunky spirit. I hope it can overcome all the crap.

    Actually she mentioned her using drugs/alcohol in few interviews she has done. I’ll show it later. In my opinion, anorexia/bulimia and cutting is her main demons as well as bipolar disorder which she diagnosed later on. Her drugs/alcohol was her attempt to fight her demons her way. That’s why I think she was admitted to rehab with the above issues and not with drugs/alcohol. It doesn’t mean she didn’t treated with drugs/alcohol during rehab but it was not her main problems.
    Anyway, here is her interview on Ellen not denying using drugs/alcohol:

    And here is about her using drugs:

    And the magazine interview about self-harm and using drugs:

    And lastly, for everyone who never saw her first interview after rehab:

    I have a lot of respect for Demi. Unlike a lot of celebrities, she acknowledges the temptations and her faults, and tries to avoid them and overcome them. Unlike a lot of celebrities, she knows when to admit when they need help.

    “But who knows. In either case, I hope Demi is healthy and happy. If not, I hope she’s getting the help that she needs.”

    I hope so too, in either case. It would be very sad if the blind gossip item were true.

  • fuzzywuzzy

    Thanks for posting that info and those videos. I don’t/haven’t followed Demi, in her formal appearances or any of the rumors about her, so I wasn’t fully aware of the extent of her problems. It sounds like she’s had a lot of problems to overcome and I wish her the best in her efforts to stay clean and sober.

  • standtotheright

    Zero interest in the bottom-feeder gossip site takes. I do hope that her living situation is helping her.

  • tibitibis

    I think Demi is a very honest young woman, she has been a very open book about her problems without to disguise or taking out importance to the magnitude of each problem; from the Justin T era to Justin B one the entertaining world is getting hard and hard , the temptations  are worst each time, the pressure and the gossip bully media is more and more cruel so is not easy to handled it . About the families …well this can happen in the best ones , often the families are the last ones to know at what point the problem is taking their child lives and many try to help without positive results , maybe because is not always easy to figure out the right help to get or the real issue that create the troubling behavior ….. So Demi is a very smart and adorable girl who deserve the opportunity to get better and get help to control her self esteem issues , her addictions and emotional problems , she still having a Big Dignity to handle the all situation and show to the world the honest person she is. So if we pray then pray for her and her family , if we believe in the good energies or luck the send to her and her family Good luck and good energies …NOBODY is exempt to have this kind of problems …even with the best entourage around you. ;)

    I know she’s had issues, but I’m surprised Demi Lovato was staying at a treatment place during the X-factor taping the way she came across obnoxious and rude to Simon and LA Reid sometimes — I guess she would have had even less self control if she wasn’t staying at that sober house.

  • thetruth

    I think is the way she is. She is a Texan girl. Staying at a Sober house was irrelevant, in my opinion. And don’t you think Simon was rude to Demi as well? Simon, Demi, LA & Britney are all judges. There were no JUNIOR judges in the panel. Therefore, age is again irrelevant. If Simon was being rude to Demi, why can’t she defend herself? And based on the video evidence, Simon initiated the “fight”. For her being rude to LA? I didn’t see it at all, maybe she was just being spontaneous and competitive at the heat of the moment. However, overall both LA and Demi are very respectful to each other. 
    Here are some video evidence for the above comments:

    Simon intiated the “fight”:

    Both LA and Demi respect each other:
