After the Internet exploded over new beef between Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift over Tay's huge donation to Kesha recently, the "Cool for the Summer" singer clarified her online rant and admitted that she actually wasn't criticizing Taylor.

She posted her explanation on Instagram Monday night (February 22) and revealed that she tends to get overly hyped when she's passionate about a topic—so much so that her initial message gets lost in the shuffle. She went on to explain that the point of words are to draw everyone's focus on the fact that abuse victims need to come forward and that women should support each other.

"Our focus should be on the topic of victims of sexual and physical abuse being afraid to come forward with their stories. They're more likely to face retaliation and harassment than to see justice being served. Especially women," she wrote on the IG post.

See the full post below.

 

As most people know, I tend to get fired up about the things I believe in, and although my heart and intentions are always in the right place, unfortunately sometimes my passion gets the best of me and causes me to say things that I probably shouldn't say. And when doing so it takes away from the real reason I am speaking up in the first place. Our focus should be on the topic of victims of sexual and physical abuse being afraid to come forward with their stories. They're more likely to face retaliation and harassment than to see justice being served. Especially women. It baffles me that when it comes to serious issues like equality and abuse, too often women are not taken as seriously as men. All I want to see is women coming together and actually making a difference. A real change and shift in society. Everyone has their own way of giving support to others , and at the end of the day, helping victims is all that matters. Ultimately, the message I want people to hear is it's okay to come forward with your abuse and if you do decide to take action, you are not alone.
