Demi Lovato is kind of having a rough end of 2010. Last month, the Disney star and teen pop sensation checked into rehab to deal with "physical and emotional issues," following an altercation with one of her dancers while on tour with the Jonas Brothers in South America.
Now, while Demi Lovato is still working out her issues in a private facility, the rumor mill is churning, making some things we're pretty sure she'd like to keep secret into matters of public record.
This weekend some rather racy photos of Demi Lovato gallivanting (to use a word that hasn't been used since the 1950s) with friends made it online. Then, following that, a rumor hit that a Demi Lovato sex tape existed.
Lovato's reps quickly moved to quash that rumor, calling the talk of a sex tape, "disgusting."
Here's hoping this is all smoke and no fire because Demi Lovato is basically a child, and she's a child with some personal issues and doesn't need this added to the likely long list of things she's dealing with.
Let's hope Demi has a better and brighter 2011. We're pulling for her.
