“If I go on tonight and injure my vocal chords any more I could potentially have to cancel the rest of my tour.”

In a since deleted post, she wrote: “I hired a lady of the night in Vegas and sent her to Max’s hotel room to surprise him.
“She walked into his room without permission and grabbed him in his ‘area’ and he freaked the fuck out hahahaha.”
As her followers highlighted to her, the stunt could be considered sexual assault.
Lovato responded: “I swear I could tweet something about craving jelly beans and it would offend someone.”

Lovato later reminded people of her own experiences with sexual abuse.
“For all of those coming at me rn, listen to the lyrics of Warrior and maybe you’ll have more compassion for someone who made a simple mistake. Of all people I know about sexual abuse. You don’t have to educate me,” she said.
However, as fans refused to back down, Lovato said: “So sorry if anyone was offended ”
