Demi Lovato Doubles Down on Yogurt Shop Controversy

This is a follow-up to the three posts on the subject: part one, part two, and part three.



Instead of apologizing to The Bigg Chill, the small Los Angeles business that she called out for having sugar-free cookie options (and mistakenly assumed was a product of diet culture), Demi Lovato took to Instagram live to defend her position on why she continues to be a spokesperson for people with eating disorders and why she wants to stand up for the little girl inside of her who received such constant harmful messaging. It's a strange and prickly rant in which she fails to hold herself accountable for targeting a small business as a celebrity (many of her fans sent threats to the business owner), completely misunderstanding the purpose of having sugar-free items, and once again making it all about her.

This rant also came after she lied about the packaging that had upset her; TMZ released exclusive DMs you can read here. Apparently Demi tried to use an old image including a protein cookie with "guilt free" packaging to explain what set her off, but the store hasn't carried the product since 2016, so she deliberately lied about what she found triggering at the store.



Demi's friend Jameela Jamil also stepped in to defend her in a series of Instagram stories:

YouTube has demonetized James Charles




The makeup "guru", "star", ? has been demonitized by Youtube after multiple accusations of sexual misconduct by men and boys.


However, it's only Temporary, and youtube has not said how long he is to be demonietized. YouTube may take action against creators who intend to cause "malicious harm to others" or who cause "real world harm" via abuse or violence, cruelty, or participating in fraudulent or deceptive behavior. (Apparently only one in a million)

This follows the breakup of his partnership with Morphe, in which neither side really took responsibility.

Herbal cigarettes have been a thing since forever in Asia, but now are taking Instagram and TikTok by storm as a trend. Sold in aesthetic packages with with a wide range of plants, like mugwort, lavender, mullein, damiana, blue lotus, peppermint and skullcap.

Demi Lovato tries to take down small business but it Backfires



Demi Lovato had no mf'ing chill trying to take down a small business due to promoting 'diet culture' but it Backfires as business booms! “For the past 36 years, our small woman-owned business has catered to anyone who’s come through the door. Whether they are diabetic, vegan, gluten-free, or just wanting a decadent dessert," says The Bigg Chill. Demi was not cool for the summer coming after a small business, especially in a pandemic. The problematic and insensitive camp rock star also got herself into trouble earlier this month. When asked about dmx's overdose she answered and made it about herself.

Peaky Blinders Salutes Helen McCrory As Filming Resumes

https://instagram.com/p/CN2jbfGgWYr


The set of Peaky Blinders has paid tribute to Helen McCrory, who passed away from cancer on Friday. After filming shut down following the announcement of her death, they are back to work today and saluting Helen.

Damian Lewis also paid tribute to his wife with an essay for the Sunday Times.


  • While many were praising Helen McCrory the actor, he wanted to praise Helen the person.

  • She was innately kind, overtipped, and consciously spread happiness. Even on her deathbed, when talking to her carers and nurses, she repeatedly said, “thank you so much” in her half delirious state.

  • Damian recalls a potentially awkward conversation with Lauren Bacall during Helen's run of Uncle Vanya, where Bacall confused her with costar Emily Watson. Helen responded by calling her Ms Hepburn, which cracked Bacall up.

  • She had prepared their children for her death, saying, “Don’t be sad, because even though I’m about to snuff it, I’ve lived the life I wanted to.” She wanted the family to live and be happy, telling them, “I want Daddy to have girlfriends, lots of them, you must all love again, love isn’t possessive, but you know, Damian, try at least to get though the funeral without snogging someone.”

  • He ends the essay by calling Helen a meteor in their lives, and quoting the Maya Angelou poem Phenomenal Woman.
