Demi Lovato, who has had a tough year following an overdose and a stint in rehab, posted a rare selfie on Instagram on Wednesday. While the post was about her jiu jitsu workout, haters took the opportunity to make comments about the singer’s weight. Demi’s older sister, Dallas Lovato, quickly shut down the body shamers.
"Sweaty, messy jiu jitsu hair," Demi captioned the pic. She added the hashtag, "#NeverGiveUp."
