Demi Lovato is very unhappy with Instagram right now. The singer just called out the platform for allowing hateful ads on people's feeds, saying they can contribute to mental health problems like eating disorders.
Here's what happened. Demi saw an ad pop up on her feed that promoted a game that was fat-shaming in nature. She posted about it, calling the ads "bullshit" and putting the whole concept of the game on blast.
She continued to explain that the ads are harmful to anyone who has struggled with eating disorders in the past.
To finish, she called on Instagram to keep these adds off the feeds. "I expect you guys to know better," she wrote.
Demi has been vocal about her own struggles with eating disorders. In an interview with American Way magazine in 2016, she revealed that she was diagnosed with bulimia when she was 18. Her mother and grandmother also struggled with them, so not only does she know what it's like to have one herself, but she has experienced it through family.
Props to Demi for calling out Instagram for the hateful messaging. 💪
