Lovato last talked about Bieber in December 2017 when she reflected back to the first time she met him nearly a decade ago.
“I met him at a radio station one time and he was nowhere near the celebrity he is today. He was I think 14 and it was really interesting meeting him. He was like, ‘You’re going to know me someday,’ and I was like, ‘Okay,’ and then he becameJustin Bieber,” shesaid.
Lovato hasbattled addiction, mental illness and disordered eatingfor years and been open about her struggle to stay sober. In 2010, she entered treatment, where she was treated for bipolar disorder, bulimia, self-harm and addiction. She relapsed after she left the treatment center, then entered a sober living facility for a year.
Last March, Lovato revealed shecelebrated six years of sobriety,but in June she released a new song, “Sober” on which sherevealed that she had relapsed.
