‘Disney’ startlet Demi Lovato has checked herself into rehab.
The 18-year-old’s rep confirmed to People magazine, the actress is currently seeking “medical treatment for emotional and physical issues she has dealt with for some time.”
The ‘Camp Rock’ star, who dropped out of her tour with the Jonas Brothers to enter the treatment centre, has reportedly struggled with self-cutting and eating disorders.
A source told People, "She was bullied in school. She fought through eating disorders and has struggled with cutting.
“Demi is taking control by getting help."
Meanwhile the brunette’s father Patrick has spoken out to blame the pressures of Hollywood for his daughter’s problems.
He told Radar Online, “There are a lot of pressures.
“That is one of the things I worried about when she signed with Disney. It's just going to happen.”
Back in September Demi confessed she’d had a tough childhood and was forced to drop out of school after being bullied.
At the time she told TV talk show The View,
“I had no idea why [I was being bullied].
“People would say, ‘They're just jealous girls.’ But you don't want to hear that - you want to know a reason, so you just keep pinning it on yourself.
“I wasn't going to be the girl who was like, ‘Oh they're just jealous of me."'
Get well soon Demi…
