“#Demi Lovato Reflects On Frozen Yogurt Controversy: ‘I Let My Emotions Get The Best Of Me’
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nDemi Lovato<\/strong> is still evolving as a public figure \u2014 and that means some growing pains.<\/p>\n

The singer has shared a lot with the world over the last few months, including details of their harrowing overdose, their recent embrace of being queer and their nonbinary identity, and advocacy of many causes that are important to them \u2014 including struggling with their eating disorder. And while the road to this freedom of expression has clearly been a joyful one for Demi, there\u2019s been some minor speed bumps along the way.<\/p>\n

Take, for instance, the fro-yo dust up from back in April. As we previously reported, the former Disney<\/strong> star called out LA frozen yogurt shop The Bigg Chill<\/strong> on Instagram <\/strong>for being \u201c#DietCultureVultures.\u201d The shop refuted their claim, and the story got spun that Demi, a huge celeb with a large following, was targeting a small business.<\/p>\n

The Sorry Not Sorry<\/em> artist apologized, but maintained their position about calling out harmful messaging around food. On Thursday, during an interview with Audacy Check In<\/strong>, Lovato reflected on the incident, admitting:<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I\u2019ve made a statement over Instagram or Twitter<\/a><\/strong>, I felt like it\u2019s gotten lost in translation a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Speaking about the fro-yo feud specifically, they explained:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was me talking about something I was very passionate about pertaining to the diet culture, and I realized that because I was so passionate\u2026 I let my emotions get the best of me and it didn\u2019t allow me to explain where I was coming from as easily as it would have been on a podcast.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now Demi has a new platform to share their thoughts \u2014 their podcast, 4D With Demi Lovato<\/em>. They remarked:<\/p>\n

\u201cI just thought going forward, I want to have conversations where people can see my face, they can hear my voice and they can see that I\u2019m still learning as well as the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Will & Grace<\/em> alum added:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m by no means an expert on many, many things. But, I\u2019m willing to learn about it and I\u2019m willing to continue to have conversations that either educate me or others on how to make the world a better place.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We know Demi has the best of intentions, and when you\u2019re putting as much of yourself out there as they have, there\u2019s bound to be moments of mistakes and imperfections. We do hope they\u2019re more careful about how they app<\/a>roach their advocacy in the future, but their voice is definitely an important one in the conversation about disordered eating. We look forward to seeing how Demi champions the cause in the future.<\/p>\n
