Demi Lovato has said she was raped as a teenager while working for Disney Channel in the late 2000s by someone who faced no repercussions when she revealed what happened. The comments were part of a larger story told by Lovato in her new YouTube docuseries, Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, which premiered at the South by Southwest festival on Tuesday. The series focuses on trauma, addiction and Lovato’s near-fatal drug overdose in July 2018. “I lost my virginity in a rape,” she said. Lovato said she wore a purity ring in 2008, when she shot to fame with the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock, filmed when she was 15.
