On Tuesday, Popstar and actress Demi Lovato released her Youtube original documentary 'Simply Complicated'. I'm not going to lie and tell you that I wasn't counting down the days for this to be released. As someone who has followed Lovato even before she debuted on Camp Rock (yes, I'm one of those weirdos that like to state that I was a fan BEFORE everyone else), this documentary allowed for old and young fans alike to understand the struggles that Lovato has faced throughout her life. In the documentary, Demi Lovato opens up about everything from her breakup with That 70's show Wilmar Valderrama, her abuse of drugs and alcohol, the pressure of fame, and her eating disorder.

The documentary, which is directed by Hannah Lux Davis, had many revelations and admittedly tear-jerking moments about the stars past. As a 'Lovatic' (aka a fan of Demi Lovato), much of the information in the documentary came as a shock. For the first time, fans received a glimpse into the severity of the situation that Lovato and her team had gone through during her time of using and abusing drugs and alcohol. Though I knew that she had been in treatment, I was unaware of how uncommitted she was to the program and that she had lied about her sobriety.

Watching 'Simply Complicated' allowed for viewers to receive an understanding into Lovato's pain. The girl has obviously dealt with a lot of loss and hurt and this can be seen throughout the documentary from her ongoing struggles with her weight. I'll be honest with you and admit that this Youtube Original might not be for everyone. It is a testimony to Lovato's strength but could be deemed as triggering for those who have or are facing similar tribulations to the stars. At the end of the documentary, I was more proud of Lovato and her management  team Phil McIntyre than ever before. This series is a testament to their strength and the development of her as individual and as an artist.
