Demi Lovato Says COVID-19 Lockdown 'Feels Like Rehab'

Demi Lovato's stints in rehab have made adjusting to quarantine life amid COVID-19 so much easier.

During the pop star's new interview on Jameela Jamil's podcast iWeigh on Thursday (April 23), the comeback kid, 27, made the revelation. "I'm much more used to self-isolation, but I'm also really used to it because I was joking with some friends that I met in treatment. I was like, 'This just feels like rehab,'" Lovato explained during the episode. "You're on lockdown at a facility, which most of the time was like a house-looking place or they've got beds, except in rehab you don't get TV or your phone, so this is luxurious."

"You don't get to go to the store whenever you want or Postmate whatever you want," the pop star continued. "It's just interesting. I was like, 'I'm glad that I've already pretty much done this a few times in my life.'"

Lovato went on to explain why she’s become such a homebody, despite her mega-star fame. "What's funny is, one, I'm a homebody because I don't love fame," she continued. "When it comes to paparazzi or getting recognized, things like that, that's just not a part that I really enjoy, so I stay home anyways. I'm a homebody."

Elsewhere in the interview, the singer opened up about cancel culture after some fans believed that her secret Instagram account was exposed. In several since-deleted posts, the user had shared shady comments about Selena Gomez and Nicki Minaj. “I've been cancelled so many times that I can’t even count. The hashtag #DemiIsOverParty that whole thing doesn’t even affect me anymore," she told Jamil. "It's just not real. I don't think that anyone was ever officially cancelled otherwise certain people wouldn't have Grammys today. Certain people wouldn't have Oscars."

"Where is the forgiveness culture?" the pop star asked the host. "If you have used up your second and third chances with a certain topic, you're cancelled and you should stay cancelled. But if you mess up and apologize and you come forward and say 'I've learned from this,' then let that be an example for other people so that they can change too."
