Lovato addressed the matter during a 2020 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, elaborating on how her worsened struggles with bulimia in 2018 contributed to her eventual drug overdose as she relapsed three months prior to the incident due to being extremely unhappy.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-demi-lovato-discusses-relapse-sobriety-20200305-6tn3b2xpgva75gaoj4r6yomglm-story.html|title=Demi Lovato reveals what led to her 2018 overdose|last=Ganz|first=Jami|website=New York Daily News|date=March 5, 2020 |access-date=March 11, 2020}} The singer attributed these struggles to the extreme measures that her then-manager, Phil McIntyre, took to control the food she ingested.{{Cite web|url=https://www.popbuzz.com/music/artists/demi-lovato/news/manager-phil-mcintyre-eating-disorder-i-love-me/|title=Demi Lovato says her old manager used to "control" what she ate|website=PopBuzz|access-date=March 16, 2020}} Lovato further explained that, along with the controlling nature of her management team, they did not provide her with the help she needed. Moreover, she recounted that her thought process the night she relapsed after six years of sobriety was as follows, "I'm six years sober and I'm miserable. I'm even more miserable than I was when I was drinking. Why am I sober?"

In 2021, Lovato said she was raped at age 15 when she was an actor on the Disney Channel, and that the rapist was a co-star whom she had to continue seeing thereafter. The incident contributed to her bulimia and self-harm. She told someone about the incident, but the assaulter "never got in trouble for it. They never got taken out of the movie they were in." Lovato stated she did not acknowledge the act as rape at the time, because sexual activity was not normalized to her, and she was part of the Disney crowd who wore purity rings and were waiting until marriage. However, she decided to share her experience because she believed that everyone should "speak their voice if they can and feel comfortable doing so". Lovato also stated she was raped during her 2018 drug overdose, realizing a month after the incident that she was not in a place to consent at that point.{{cite news|last=Maltceva|first=Margarita|date=March 17, 2021|title='I lost my virginity in a rape': Demi Lovato reveals she was raped as a teenager when she was acting on Disney Channel|work=National Post|url=https://nationalpost.com/news/world/i-lost-my-virginity-in-a-rape-demi-lovato-reveals-she-was-raped-as-a-teenager-when-she-was-acting-on-disney-channel|access-date=March 18, 2021}}{{cite news|last=Horton|first=Adrian|date=March 17, 2021|title=Demi Lovato says she was raped as a teenager by someone she knew|newspaper=The Guardian|url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/mar/16/demi-lovato-rape-youtube-docuseries-dancing-with-the-devil|access-date=March 18, 2021}}
