Demi Lovato, the gun control-pushing pop star who endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016, is being slammed as a “dumb and self-centered Karen” on social media after she attacked The Bigg Chill — a frozen yogurt shop in Los Angeles — for “triggering” her by having “sugar free cookies” and “other diet foods” available in the store. “FINDING IT EXTREMELY HARD TO ORDER FROYO FROM [The Bigg Chill] WHEN YOU HAVE TO WALK PAST TONS OF SUGAR-FREE COOKIES/OTHER DIET FOODS BEFORE YOU GET TO THE COUNTER,” Lovato lamented in an Instagram Story, before adding, “DO BETTER PLEASE,” along with the hashtag, “Diet Culture Vultures.” “So I think I’m gonna have to make that hashtag a thing,” Lovato said in a follow-up post. “I will be calling [out] harmful messaging from brands or companies that perpetuate a society that not only enables but praises disordered eating. #dietculturevultures.” In another Instagram Story, Lovato shared a purported screenshot of her private messages between herself and The Bigg Chill. “We are not diet culture vultures. We cater to all of our customers needs for the past 36 years. We are sorry if you found this offensive,” the frozen yogurt shop told Lovato. Lovato responded to the company by doubling down on her initial stance, adding that her “whole experience was triggering.” “Not just that. Your service was terrible. So rude,” she said. “The whole experience was triggering and awful. You can carry things for other people while also caring for another percentage of your customers who struggle DAILY just to even step foot in your store.” “You can find a way to provide an inviting environment for all people with different needs.
