Demi Lovato Used to Smuggle Cocaine on Airplanes

Demi Lovato has had quite a troubled past. In 2010, she checked into rehab, and documented her struggles with anorexia bulimia and cutting in her memoir “Staying Strong: 365 Days A Year”.

In a candid interview, the X-Factor judge opened up to Access Hollywood to share details about alcoholism and her addiction to cocaine.

“I couldn’t go without 30 minutes to an hour without cocaine and I would bring it on airplanes,” she revealed. “I would smuggle it basically and just wait until everyone in first class would go to sleep and I would do it right there. I’d sneak to the bathroom and I’d do it. That’s how difficult it got and that was even with somebody [with me], I had a sober companion, somebody who was watching me 24/7 and living with me [and] I was able to hide it from them as well.”

Demi was only 19 years old when she hit rock bottom, and all it took was a soda bottle filled with vodka to help her realize it:

“I was going to the airport and I had a Sprite bottle just filled with vodka and it was just nine in the morning and I was throwing up in the car and this was just to get on a plane to go back to LA to the sober living house that I was staying at…I had all the help in the world, but I didn’t want it.

When I hit that moment I was like, it’s no longer fun when you’re doing it alone. I’ve really never talked about this stuff before… I don’t know if I should be sharing this.”

She added that there came a time when she realized that everything she did was alcoholic behavior, and decided that it was time to get her act together.

Demi also opened up about her eating disorder, telling Access Hollywood that it began long before she was even a teenager:

“It was always there, but then I just acted on it at around 8 or 9 years old. I started overeating, compulsively overeating. I would bake cookies and then eat the whole pan. I went from doing that to being unhappy with my body. I went to just completely starving myself and that turned into throwing up and starving myself and it was just this crazy battle going on inside of me.

It got really difficult [and] I would throw up and it would just be blood and it was something that I realized if I don’t stop this, I am going to die.”

Demi’s mother, Dianna, who was also present during the interview, said she took the blame for some of Demi’s struggles. However, she also made it her responsibility to help the both of them get better.

“I had issues I needed to work on as well because I wasn’t setting a good example for her.

I had a terrible eating disorder that I had for many, many years and I didn’t realize it and I had to face up to the fact that I was suffering as well. And a lot of what [Demi] went through with an eating disorder had to do with what she had seen growing up and I also had severe depression and I ended up asking for help actually they did an intervention with me and said, ‘Mom, you need to get help.’”

In July, Demi opened up to the public about how she was suicidal at the early age of 7. But Demi has been on a long road recovery and it’s obvious that it paid off.
