Demi Lovato Refuses to Photoshop

The “Sorry Not Sorry” singer is done apologizing for who she is. And she’s done editing her photos on social media. In a recent Instagram post, Demi appears in bikini perched seductively above a brave caption admitting to altering her photos in the past and her fear of exposing her cellulite.
The refreshingly human pop star has been open about her recovery from drug addiction, an eating disorder and mental illness. After a relapse in 2018, Demi found an even deeper commitment to self-acceptance and has pledged to stop digitally altering her photos.
The triple threat performer racked up over 9 million “likes” for her unfiltered share, with fans and pals praising Demi for her authenticity. “Showing us YOU is so incredibly beautiful. Thank you Demi! Love you Mama!” body-positive-beauty, Ashley Graham wrote.
Trailblazers within marginalized groups are not calling for change in trend, they want a change in consciousness. People of all shapes, sizes and identities should equally represent beauty, and that reality should be illustrated in mainstream media. Demi’s post is further confirmation of where the body positivity movement is headed.
