At the time, the former Disney star Demi Lovato already declared that being able to speak in her own terms about such traumatic experiences has helped her to alter the narrative that she had created on such a delicate matter, nipping at the root that ‘guilt’ that she had attributed to herself considering that she should have done more to prevent her suffering.
Now, the famous interpreter has described this exercise of information transparency as “liberating and empowering”, since she hopes that her history will help other women who have gone through similar horrors.
“To have been able to release all that in front of the camera, also knowing that Many people were going to see it, it has made me feel free.”
“It has been something liberating and empowering. And it has really helped me dissolve all that anger that I had inside. I had to get away from that anger before doing it, but I think the documentary has made the little that was left completely disappear. Now I think, ‘Ok, I can start to heal now,'” Demi told People magazine, just before sharing her goal of making the concept that encompasses the term ‘sexual abuse’ cease to be a ‘taboo’ topic.
