Insensitive much? During tonight’s X Factor 3 finale, each of the judges were featured in “joke” video packages that poked fun at them.
Demi Lovato’s package made fun of her contentious relationship with Simon, and suggested that there was something in her drinking cup that made her annoying. Now, everybody knows that Demi has had a long struggle with drugs and alcohol (among other things) and is currently sober. So maybe suggesting that Demi is drinking some strange brew is a wee bit insensitive? I think so.
Demi obviously thought so too. When Mario introduced the clip with “…maybe it’s got something to do with what she’s drinking at the judges desk!” You can hear Demi gasp before it cuts to video. To make matters worse, Demi is superimposed on the video and her reaction to having her drinking habits mocked are pretty clear. She turns to Kelly, aghast. She stares at the screen slack jawed. At one point you can see her mouth “That’s fucked up!”
After, when Mario asks her what she’d like to say to Simon, Demi is composed. The punch line of the joke is that Demi has been sipping a soft drink called “annoying juice.” She answered, “Since it’s VERY VERY CLEAR THAT I DON’T DRINK ANY MORE Annoying Juice has become my new drink, and I love it, because I get to annoy Simon with it!”
Check it out below.
As you can imagine, Demi’s loyal fanbase, the Loveatics are pissed. They’ve been spamming the X Factor twitter demanding an apology.
I’m so pissed right now because of that “annoying juice” video XF made about Demi! like really? on her last fucking show???
