Its scary how much our own mind can destroy us so easily
yes it is 🙁
it’s all in your state of mind!
Preach sad but true.🎭
I so agree with you. Also trama, family dynamics and bad influencers you thought you trusted only wanted the worse for you. Just speaking for myself.
It’s very true the mind is a scary place or it can be heaven. It literally creates worlds. There’s no blame on outside influences its all in the mind.
I cant say that any other person in her position with this platform has ever been this vulnerable, raw, and real with us. She deserves all the love and support we have!
Marie , agreed. Pay no mind to the negative comments.
@Ali Abr, have you never heard or personally experienced what empathy looks and sounds like? Your comment indicates you haven’t, if so my heart goes out to you.
You can always rely on a Leo to be honest with you 😌
Lmao bet you praise them local addicts huh?
well, Britney tried but all she got was called crazy and a conservatorship.
This poor woman. I can’t imagine how many girls or boys in the Disney family have been hurt.
It has more to do with general childhood trauma compounded with being famous than Disney in particular.
I don’t think most of them even consciously remember the abuse they’ve suffered. Trauma based mind control causes compartmentalization of the psyche, like creating rooms in the house of our mind. It’s so frustrating that most people have been led to believe the “breakdowns” these young women have is simply a side effect of fame. Demi has so many characteristics of a Monarch slave who’d been programmed as a child…but we can’t know for certain, of course. Maybe it really is for the best such victims can’t recall what happened to them.
@Psyche GoddessofLight what is a monarch slave?
@K Bennett They play an equal role. Disney is known for working the kids like dogs and having control over everything they do. So many child stars with Disney in particular have had problems as a result of being there. Demi did have quite a bit of childhood trauma; Disney didn’t help either
@Sangeeta Goel This.
I feel so sorry for Demi’s friend, Dani. Being a passionate fan is one thing, but don’t use that as an excuse to threaten someone’s life.
Agreed. Using the passion of being a fan of some artists and using it as an excuse to harass and buliy someones life is awful and I’ve seen this happen in other fan communities.
Exactly. There is NEVER a reason to threaten someone’s life just because they have a famous friend. People don’t know the truth of what even happened that night. They just automatically blamed her friend. Demi is responsible for her own actions. Don’t blame Dani.
Exactly!!
It’s awful that her friends had to suffer for her mistakes. If she died, her friends never would have been able to clear their names. That’s so sad.
I know I was thinking if Demi would of not been here that poor girl would of been blamed for things she didn’t do.
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!!
I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get on my amazing videos. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don’t comment anything mean on my wonderful videos, dear non
Pay close attention to the kind of people who act so cruel and never allow that to go unchallenged.
@save bandit! they aren’t, they mean the people who were bullying Demi’s friend Dani😅 but I can see how it looks that way
@Nonalola oh imma delete then lol
I feel bad for her friends that got death threats because they instantly judged them. Not even knowing the full story
1. After hearing Dani’s side and Demi clearing her friend’s name, I just think how some of her fans didn’t learned nothing about bullying.
2. It’s heartbreaking to see that she tried in some way to “fix” the rape, and it’s sad to see that when she was younger she couldn’t say something because she thought she can’t as Disney Star to say she isn’t virgin anymore.
It’s show how bad the disney industry is.
Agree
High-key agree.
Honestly people didn’t consider doing that stuff to Dani like harassing her or bullying her for something she never did and I’m ashamed people didn’t consider that stuff they did to Dani bullying
Yeah, she tried to “fix” the rape. She said she abused her abuser. So did she rape them? This raises so many questions and is concerning!
@Justine Panzarella I think she just means she took back to control that they had over her
I feel so bad for her choreographer friend. Her entire career was ruined because of toxic fans
I’m sure she’s part of a long list
Demi is so selfish n narcissistic ugh..
@byJeess Perez exactly. Let’s keep it real
@byJeess Perez did Demi tell them to attack her? No she didnr
The case manager said it all. It’s always “how can you do this to yourself” not “you must be in so much pain to go through that”. Demi wasn’t seen or heard the way she needed to be. Much love to Demi, I hope I can overcome the darkness like her.
Sending you so much light and love! 💛🌼
Me too hope we prevail.🙏💞
You can do it! ❤️
❤️
You can do it ❤️
It’s so sad that she didn’t even want to come out as a survivor of assault initially because she was scared that no one would believe her. How toxic of a world we live in… And that at the very end of it, she says “I’m tired of opening my mouth” She was assaulted. She was a child. And she feels defeated even after coming clean all these years later. 🥺
