As TMZ reports, Demi Lovato is doing much better and is planning to leave the hospital sometime this week after suffering from a life-threatening drug overdose last week. Those close to the pop star hope the next step is rehab, and many are giving her an ultimatum: get help or lose some close relationships.
Sources have told TMZ that the 25-year-old's team is making plans to send her to rehab once she's released from the hospital, and some of her loved ones and colleagues are going to tell her she can either go to the facility or lose their phone numbers.
At least one person who works for the "Sober" singer said she would quit if Lovato decides not to get help. "She could die if she doesn't, and that's not going to be on my watch that we did nothing," the source said.
Ultimately, the choice is Lovato's, who was found unconscious in her bed her Hollywood Hills home following a night of partying on July 24. She would not say what drugs she took, but Narcan was used to save her life, which reverses the effects of opioids.
Since her OD, an outpouring of love has come her way from fans, friends, and even ex-lovers. This week, some of Lovat's closest friends have broken their silence on her hospitalization.
Dani Vitale, a member of the singer's "Tell Me You Love Me World Tour," said in a message posted to Instagram, "I care about Demi just like all of you do. I have not said anything about this situation now because her recovery has been of the most importance. I was not with Demi when the incident happened, but I am with her now, and will continue to be because she means to the world to me just as she does to all of you. Like all of you, I have nothing but love in my heart for her. 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."
