Demi Lovato: For the First Time I Actually Feel Like a Role Model

Demi Lovato gets serious as she makes an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres show, in an episode airing on Tuesday (September 20).

The 19-year-old singer dished to Ellen about how treatment saved her life.

“It was a mess,” Demi said, “I went from being at the highlight of my career [with] so many things were going great in my life and then all of a sudden my personal life just went down at crazy speeds. [The break down] changed my life forever but I’m glad that it did because if I had never gone into the treatment. I don’t know.. if I’d be alive today.”

Demi also added, “There needs to be a role model out there and for the first time in my life I actually feel like one.”
