Demi Lovato Apologizes for Making Light of the Zika Virus

Published 10 years ago

Demi Lovato took to Twitter to apologize for what many are calling ‘insensitive’ behavior regarding the Zika virus outbreak.

Demi’s mother Dianna Hart took over her Snapchat and declared, “Everybody down in Rio gonna get the Zika virus.”

In the clip, you can hear Demi laughing in addition to the three laughing emojis posted on the video.

Needless to say, people weren’t having it and took to Twitter to call Demi out. The hashtag #DemiLovatoIsOverParty started trending.

Demi eventually tweeted out her ‘deepest apologies.’

In no way did I mean to offend anyone last night. I was laughing at how southern my mom sounded, not the issue at hand. Deepest apologies.
