Demi Lovato addresses her sexuality in her new documentary

In early September, Demi Lovato sent Twitter into a tizzy when she was spotted holding hands with a woman, DJ-producer Lauren Abedini, in Disneyland. Demi’s fans, aptly nicknamed Lovatics, were naturally stoked for their queen; as long as she was happy, that was all that mattered. But of course, these photos brought out critics, one who even said it was “bullsh*t” Demi wasn’t openly addressing her sexuality. It didn’t take long for the pop star to clap back at this, saying that her naysayers should watch her YouTube documentary ( Simply Complicated) if they’re so curious about her sexuality.

Well, that documentary dropped today, and, yes, Demi addresses her sexuality in it—head on. During a conversation with her stylist, Avo Yermagyan, Demi reveals she’s on a dating app for both men and women. (The app, if you’re curious, is called Raya, a notoriously exclusive platform stacked with celebrity users.)

“I am open to human connection, so whether that’s through a male or female, it doesn’t matter to me,” she said. “I do like athletes; there is something sexy about someone putting in all of their physical strength into their passion.“

These quotes certainly add more insight into Demi’s personal life while also staying true to her policy about labels. “Just because I refuse to label myself for the sake of a headline doesn’t mean I’m not going to stand up for what I believe in,” she said on Twitter in September.

Demi also addressed this topic in a recent interview with Glamour US. “I think eventually I’ll talk more about [my sexuality], but I think it was cool to be able to put it out there and leave it for what it is and be open,” she said. “It was refreshing to be able to have control over the narrative, and release this information on my own.”

Damn straight. Hopefully, now people will drop this conversation and just let Demi live. She deserves that. We all do.
