Demi Lovato’s upcoming YouTube documentary is still moving forward despite her recent overdose, but it is hold until she is ready to come back to the project, according to YouTube Global Head of Originals Susanne Daniels.
The show is expected to on for the upcoming Demi Lovato documentary, but it’s unclear when it will be.
The singer’s follow-up YouTube documentary is still moving forward despite her recent overdose, but it is hold until she is ready to come back to the project, according to YouTube Global Head of Originals Susanne Daniels.
“It’s in production,” Daniels told IndieWire . “It’s on hold right now. That’s up to Demi what she wants to say and what she wants to do.”
According to USA Today, the film was due to come out this fall but will now be bumped back until at least 2019. It has been filming for the past year.
Daniels praised Lovato, saying the pop star is her hero.
“She’s someone who has been honest, so candid about her struggles, from day one when she was a teenager. And they’re real struggles, and they’re multiple struggles,” Daniels said. “And she’s trying so hard and I think the outpouring of sympathy for her is a reflection of how she has shared her battles so publicly and so honestly… So I think we’re on pause, we want her to get well, and she’ll decide what she wants to say or not say about this.”
The new documentary was set to focus on 25-year-old Lovato’s desire to raise awareness on different issues that interest and affect her.
Lovato’s first documentary, “Demi Lovato: Stay Strong,” aired on MTV in 2012 and centered around her sobriety (although she later admitted she was still using cocaine and alcohol). She then released “Simply Complicated” with YouTube in October 2017 and touched on her struggles with bulimia and alcohol addition throughout the 80-minute film.
The “Confident” singer was found unconscious in her bed on Tuesday following a long night of partying to celebrate a backup dancer’s birthday. Her friends reportedly treated her with Narcan before responders arrived at her Hollywood Hills home, and they asked the responders to turn off their sirens when approaching the house.
Earlier this week, she was said to stable condition .
