Lovato, who has also admitted to cutting herself at age 11 and struggling with bipolar disorder, is known her honesty and is currently penning a tell-all memoir. Since leaving the treatment facility in January 2011, Lovato has dedicated her career to being a true role model to her younger fans.
In the Nov. 15 issue of Entertainment Weekly, Lovato admitted that she’s battled herself about how honest she should be.
“I’m battling with internal thoughts on how honest I should be,” the Glee guest star told EW. “Yes, I’ve been very honest, but if people really knew how dark and deep my struggles got — not just with my eating disorder but with drugs and alcohol — they’d be really shocked. But I’ll most likely end up saying everything. Maybe it’ll help other people in the industry who are headed down the wrong path.”
