Demi Lovato Called Out for Promoting ‘Dr. Pepper Zero’ After Attacking Yogurt Shop for Being ‘Diet Culture Vultures’

Liberal popstar Demi Lovato caught backlash after trashing a frozen yogurt brand for pushing “diet culture” by providing “sugar-free” options that were “triggering,” then appearing at an event sponsored by diet soda maker “Dr. Pepper Zero.”

Photos surfaced of Lovato holding a Dr. Pepper Zero microphone in front of a black backdrop touting the brand’s “zero sugar” status, a month after she publicly attacked a frozen yogurt shop for being “diet culture vultures.”

“Oh the irony…holding a microphone with Dr. Pepper zero logo after she tried to destroy a frozen yogurt place for having sugar-free options,” one Twitter user pointed out. Another commented that Lovato “sure is ok with attacking diet culture unless the diet culture lines her pockets.”  

Lovato’s representative pushed back that “Demi was doing a promotional stop for the awards show as a good partner to iHeart. They’ve apologized for comments made weeks ago and have moved on to focus on their cause work in the area of eating disorder awareness and Pride.”

But it’s hard to miss the hypocrisy when the singer blatantly attacked a small business on her very large platform for the sin of offering options for diabetics. 

“Finding it extremely hard to order froyo from [The Bigg Chill Frozen Yogurt] when you have to walk past tons of sugar-free cookies/other diet foods before you get to the counter,” Lovato commented at the time. “Do better please. #DietCultureVultures.”

She continued to roast the store for “terrible” service and “rude” staff. “The whole experience was triggering and awful. You can carry things for other people while also caring for another percentage of your customers who struggle DAILY just to even step foot in your store,” she ranted. 

“You can find a way to provide an inviting environment for all people with different needs. Including eating disorders — one of the deadliest mental illnesses only second to [opioid] overdoses. Don’t make excuses, just do better,” she concluded. 

Big Chill responded to the criticism with a cool hand. “We are not diet vultures, we cater to all of our customers’ needs for the past 36 years. We are sorry you found this offensive.”

Lovato later apologized after receiving heavy backlash for her comments.  “I left that yogurt store and didn’t get the yogurt that I wanted and then I had a hard time for the rest of the weekend … I’m human, and I talk about my struggles. And I’m passionate so I’m sorry that I got the messaging wrong.”

Why didn`t they show the photo of her “…holding a Dr. Pepper Zero microphone in front of a black backdrop touting the brand’s “zero sugar” status,…” If the photo exists, it should be used to verify the story.

Wow, you (it’s parents) must be so proud? Ahhh, never mind….. I’m sure the money is good.

WHO? Return head up ass and talk to yourself as nobody cares what you have to say. I couldn’t figure out why it mattered to anybody? Maybe she didn’t like the arrangement of goods or ???? SELF CENTERED attention seeking BS! GO AWAY! No one cares.

She has done so many drugs and booze that her brain is dead. Sugar free is for people with diabetes. A very unstable young person who needs help badly. But most in the business have no idea about the regular world.
