Twitter Is Dragging Demi Lovato Over Tasteless Zika Joke And You're Invited [UPDATE]

August 13th, 2016 | Posted by admin in Uncategorized

UPDATE: 2:20 p.m. ― Demi Lovato has responded to her social media critics with a Twitter apology, explaining that her laughter wasn’t directed at her mother’s controversial comments. 

“In no way did I mean to offend anyone last night,” she wrote. “I was laughing at how southern my mom sounded, not the issue at hand. Deepest apologies.”

Lovato should have stopped there, but minutes later, she shared another tweet to politely inform those interested that if we follow her on social media, we’re obviously still fans. 

“I ain’t goin nowhere bitches,” she wrote. 

In no way did I mean to offend anyone last night. I was laughing at how southern my mom sounded, not the issue at hand. Deepest apologies.

PREVIOUSLY: Twitter would like to cordially invite you to the #DemiLovatoIsOverParty. Black tie optional, gifts accepted and it goes all night. 

On Friday, Demi Lovato angered fans with a Snapchat video of her mother, Dianna Hart, making light of the Zika virus, which has been linked to as many as 1,700 cases of birth defects in Brazil since the outbreak began in 2015. 

“Everybody down in Rio gonna get the Zika virus,” Hart tells the camera, drink in hand. Lovato can be heard laughing in the background. 

To add insult to injury, the singer included three laughing emojis in the Snapchat. You can watch the video here. 

The Snapchat was one of two Lovato shared yesterday. The other clip, captioned “Momma  ,” shows Hart dancing next to Lovato, encouraging her daughter to join in on the fun. 

Brazilian social media users were the first to spread word of the video online, sparking a conversation on Twitter about why Lovato would ever share the Snapchat, let alone condone her mother’s insensitive comments. Soon, #DemiLovatoIsOverParty was trending worldwide. (The hashtag plays on #KimExplosedTaylorParty, which took root after video surfaced appearing to show Taylor Swift approving certain lyrics of Kanye West’s controversial song “Famous” after she denied having any knowledge of them.) 

People make jokes with a serious problem like diseases do not deserve an ounce of respect. #DemiLovatoIsOverParty

The “Cool For The Summer” singer’s legion of fans ― known as Lovatics ― then came out in full force to defend their queen, shifting the blame to Hart and blaming rival fandoms for getting the hashtag trending. 

you can't blame demi for something she didn't do. she didn't make the joke, it was her mum. y'all are so pathetic. #DemiLovatoIsOverParty

Lovato has yet to address the controversy, and, as the ex-Disney star already made clear, she Snapchats so she isn’t held as accountable for her actions.

I like snapchat cause I don't have to see what some of y'all say. Follow me if you want: theddlovato

Good party? Hope you got a goodie bag!
