You all know Demi Lovato: beautiful, talented and incredibly sweet. I had the pleasure of speaking with her at a local cafe that the owners closed for us for an hour so she and I could have this conversation.
Lisa: I’m so glad you were able to make it.
Demi: Thanks! [smiles] Me too.
Lisa: So much has happened since we last saw each other in July…
Demi: [laughs] Oh, girl, I know!
Lisa: How do you—Oh, of course… you can literally see that I got bangs.
Demi: [laughs]
Lisa: They’re a little shorter than I hoped but… it’s alright, I’ve already talked about it with my therapist.
[Demi takes a sip of water and says nothing]
Lisa: But enough about me. Please tell me what’s going on with Demetria…
Demi: [takes a deep breath] Where to start….? This year has been such a roller coaster for me….
Lisa: I can’t wait to hear all about it. [grabs her cup of tea and takes a sip]
Lisa: Actually, give me a second. I think a mosquito just died in my tea.
[Lisa gets up and orders another tea]
Lisa: Okay. I’m ready. Lay it on me, sister.
Demi: [laughs] Well… you obviously know that I ended my engagement with Max.
Lisa: Of course… Wait, no. Who’s Max?
Demi: The guy I was engaged to… we were very public with the relationship…
Lisa: Right. Of course. Maximilian.
Demi: I’m pretty sure his name is just Max. But anyway… I don’t really want to comment on that whole situation.
Lisa: Of course. I understand… But what happened exactly?
Demi: [laughs] It seemed that he was a little more in love with my fame than he was with me, you know?
Lisa: No, sadly I’ve never been famous. The only reason people recognize and stop me in the street is to rob me. But don’t worry… I’ve also talked about that with my therapist.
Demi: Oh, I’m so sorry about that.
Lisa: Oh, no, please don’t be. It’s why I learned karate…. though sadly I’m not very good at it. Turns out I’m more of a lover than a ‘I’ll kick you in the groin if you come near me” kind of woman.
Demi: [laughs] I’m actually pretty okay with throwing a good punch.
Lisa: The world needs your kind and mine.
Demi: [laughs]
Lisa: But what were you saying about your ex, whose full name may or may not be Maximilian?
Demi: He just… he wasn’t genuine, and I don’t want fake people in my life…. definitely not as a husband.
Lisa: Oh, no. Fake husbands are a scam. My friend Trini was fooled by one of those websites that “lend you” a husband for an event…. She had to pay $500 upfront and the pretend husband didn’t speak English.
Demi: … No, I mean like… he wasn’t genuine. He was pretending to be someone he wasn’t and feel things for me that he really didn’t.
Lisa: Oh, that’s way worse than what happened to Trini.
Demi: [laughs]
Lisa: And what ever happened to the engagement ring that he gave you? Did you have to give it back?
Demi: Yes.
Lisa: That’s a bummer.
Demi: [laughs]
Lisa: Well, looks like our time is up. Your publicist is starting to sweat profusely…
Demi: [laughs] Oh, gosh. Thanks for having me.
