A fan has written an angry Instagram essay on his meet and greet experience with Demi Lovato, accusing the singer of “paying no attention to your fans”.
In his post, Josh Helfgott compares his experience with Lovato to a number of other meet and greets, saying he understands that stars are busy, but that Lovato seemed entirely uninterested in her fans.
He goes on to accuse Lovato of slamming her head back against the wall “in relief” when the meet and greet finished.

Helfgott later posted further details onto his Instagram, explaining why he was particularly disappointed with the treatment of one girl, who travelled alone to the event but was asked to take a photo with a group of strangers:
“She was transgender, and Demi’s music helped her through her struggles,” he explains. “Everyone was young, nervous and scared. When I saw that young girl get shoved on the side of a stranger’s photo, without ever being noticed by Demi, I felt for her. I felt like I needed to speak up.

Earlier this month, Lovato was accused of using uncleared samples of two Sleigh Bells tracks on her song ‘Stars’.
Lovato’s representatives have provided a statement from producers Carl Falk and Rami Yacoub. It reads: “We did not use any samples in Demi Lovato’s song ‘Stars.’ Demi was also not involved with the production. She only wrote top line.”
Sleigh Bells say they have contacted Lovato’s label Island Records over the situation.
