But I also did a lot of healing for myself to be able to come out of that experience with some tangible change that hopefully the rest of the country will follow suit on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The chart-topping star subsequently became a political activist for children working in the entertainment industry in the US.<\/p>\n<p>Demi &#8211; who is married to Jordan &#8216;Jutes&#8217; Lutes &#8211; shared: &#8220;I kind of put [California Governor Gavin Newsom] on the spot.

Honouring the truth of my inner child was really healing for me.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Going back and acknowledging my struggles was honouring my inner child and holding space for my younger self &#8230; that didn&#8217;t get to live a normal childhood in my younger years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDemi spoke to the likes of Drew Barrymore, Kenan Thompson and Raven-Symone for Child Star. And the pop singer admitted that she enjoyed spending time with people who had gone through similar life experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;It really created a sense of community and it made us feel less alone to share our experiences, even though we may have felt so isolated in them. So I think being able to talk to the participants of the film really was encouraging and therapeutic for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/demi-lovato-found-making-child-star-healing-1433316.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 November 2025 Demi Lovato &#8220;did a lot of healing&#8221; while making Child Star.
