The people in Demi Lovato’s life are speaking out.
Days after the 25-year-old pop star was hospitalized following a drug overdose, one of her longtime backup dancers, Dani Vitale, took to Instagram.
Most of the singer’s inner circle have remained quiet following the incident, but Dani laid out a few things for fans in a lengthy statement.
“I care about Demi just like all of you do,” she wrote in a Sunday night post. “I have not said anything about this situation until now because her recovery has been of the most importance.”
Dani noted that she was not with the former Disney star at the time of her apparent overdose, but added, “I am with her now, and will continue to be because she means the world to me just as she does to all of you.”

Dani also asked Lovatics not to lash out at those closest to the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer, writing: “There is no need for any negativity towards the ones who care about Demi at this time. There is too much of it in this world as it is.”
She continued, “I know you’re all feeling lost without her at this moment in time. Remember that you have always been a community of Lovatics who LOVE. Please remember that when you take out your phones and start typing. Remember that we all love her more than we can ever put into words. Please continue to send her love during her recovery.”
