Shocking Resurfaced Tweet: Demi Lovato’s Controversial Prank Leaves Fans Outraged

Demi Lovato fans have been left horrified after finding out about her 'sexual assault' prank from a shocking resurfaced tweet

SHOCKING TWITTER TWEET EXPOSES DEMI LOVATO'S SHADY PAST: FORMER DISNEY STAR FACILITATED 'SEXUAL ASSAULT' PRANK ON BODYGUARD

Get ready for a jaw-dropping scandal that's left fans reeling! Demi Lovato, the beloved pop star and former Disney Channel darling, has been accused of facilitating a "sexual assault" prank on her bodyguard, Max Lea, back in 2018.

The shocking revelation surfaced when an old tweet from Demi resurfaced on Reddit, detailing the cringeworthy incident. According to the since-deleted post, Demi hired a "lady of the night" (code for a professional escort) to surprise Max in his hotel room while he was working as her bodyguard.

Back in 2018, Demi, now 32, shared a post about hiring a 'lady of the night' to 'surprise' her bodyguard, Max Lea (pictured), in his hotel room

"I hired a lady of the night in Vegas and sent her to Max's hotel room to surprise him," Demi tweeted. "She walked into his room without permission and grabbed him in his area, and he freaked out!"

Fans were left aghast by Demi's insensitive joke, with many taking to social media to express their outrage and disgust.

"This is disgusting," wrote one user on thescholarlynote.com. "I can't believe she thought this was funny."

The former Disney Channel star detailed the encounter during a Q&A on X (formerly Twitter) when she was asked about the 'funniest prank she ever pulled'

Another outraged fan chimed in: "What kind of sick individual hires someone to touch someone else without their consent? That's sexual assault, plain and simple!"

Demi initially defended herself by tweeting, "I swear I could tweet something about craving jelly beans and it would offend someone." But as the backlash continued, she took a step back and urged fans to listen to her song "Warrior".

"Maybe you'll have more compassion for someone who made a simple mistake," she wrote. "Of all people, I know about sexual abuse. You don't have to educate me."

Following Demi's tweet, there was immediate backlash as many argued that hiring a woman to touch Max without his consent was a form of sexual assault

However, before Demi's apology could take hold, Max himself took to social media to defend his former boss.

"Really! You guys all need to grow up!" he wrote. "It was a joke and a fun prank from someone who's incredible to work for and with. And does everything she can for her fans, family, and friends."

But not everyone was convinced by Max's defense. Australian DJ Kyle Sandilands, Max's former employer, claimed that his bodyguard wouldn't have been offended.

Five minutes later, she tweeted an apology

"Let me tell you, knowing Max, he wouldn't give a s**t!" Kyle said on thescholarlynote.com. "I've done worse things to Max, just quietly. Max is fine."

The controversy surrounding Demi's tweet has left fans reeling, with many calling for her to apologize and take responsibility for her actions.

As the pop star navigates this latest scandal, it remains to be seen how she'll recover from this bombshell revelation. Will she continue to ride out the storm, or will this shocking incident mark a turning point in her career?

Max himself also took to social media and defended Demi

UPDATE: Demi has since apologized for her actions and deleted the tweet. The controversy surrounding this incident has sparked a wider conversation about consent, power dynamics, and the importance of respecting others' boundaries.
