Demi Lovato says being baptized in Israel filled 'the God-sized hole in my heart'

Demi Lovato is getting in touch with her spiritual side.

The "Skyscraper" singer, 27, took to Instagram Tuesday to reflect on her recent trip to Israel, revealing that she was baptized in the Jordan River, "the same place Jesus was baptized."

"There is something absolutely magical about Israel. I’ve never felt such a sense of spirituality or connection to God…something I’ve been missing for a few years now," she wrote. "Spirituality is so important to me…to be baptized in the Jordan river…I've never felt more renewed in my life."

Lovato, who identifies as a "Christian" with "Jewish ancestors," said she's grateful for her trip to the Middle East because it filled "the God-sized hole in my heart."

"When I was offered an amazing opportunity to visit the places I’d read about in the Bible growing up, I said yes," she added. "This trip has been so important for my well-being, my heart, and my soul. I’m grateful for the memories made… Thank you for having me, Israel."

The singer shared several pictures from her excursion, including a picture of herself hugging the man who baptized her in the Jordan River, following the religious rite.

Lovato also shared photos from her visits to other sites, including Jerusalem’s Western Wall, Yad Vashem (The World Holocaust Remembrance Center) and the Shalva National Center, a nonprofit organization that supports children with disabilities.

"My heart was absolutely broken in Yad Vashem," Lovato wrote in another Instagram post. "This was such a beautiful tribute and a reminder that we can never forget.

Watch her have her next OD in 3, 2 ...

I can never garner much sympathy for demi. She is one of those people who want to jump off every cliff they see, no matter how much you try to help. Has been like this for a decade. At some point you just stop having any empathy for them.

It's been widely reported that Wilmer Valderrama really messed with her head. He's messed with many a Disney ingenue; why she gave him so much credence, I'll never know.

I hope faith helps her in some way. I like her and think in spite of her recent and unfortunate internet postings, she finds her way back to health.

Demi Lovato needs to go away, stay quiet and work on healing herself. Her constant over-sharing about absolutely everything is rather nauseating and unproductive.

For a good laugh, visit Demi's Instagram page and see the thong bikini pics she posted immediately before the religious posts.

She is now apologizing for her posts because many people say she knows nothing about the Israel -Palestinian conflict,.

She confessed she got a free trip to Israel if she just wrote a few tweets. This is all a marketing ploy.

Well duh. Most of the public figures who gush over Israel are phony. They don’t truly care about Israel, they’re just in it for $ and freebies, like Trump and Demi Lovato.

Representatives Tlaib and Omar are spot on about Israel.

you know, not for nothing but a big part of her recovery is getting in touch with her relationship to a higher power as she defines it. If she truly was having a spiritual experience in Israel and everyone is dragging her for it, well that’s not helpful.

Demi Lovato is apologizing for her trip to Israel.

This week, the singer shared photos showing her being baptized in the Jordan River and visiting Jerusalem’s Western Wall and the World Holocaust Remembrance Center. While she called the trip “magical” and said it filled “the God-sized hole in my heart,” she’s now distancing herself from it after receiving backlash. The criticism was that she’s supporting the country amid its ongoing — and long-standing — conflict with Palestine.

In a message Lovato shared on her Instagram Stories Wednesday night, she apologized to those she offended. She emphasized that the free trip was “not a political statement,” and said sorry for not being “more educated” on the matter.

“I’m extremely frustrated,” she wrote. “I accepted a free trip to Israel in exchange for a few [social media] posts. No one told me there would be anything wrong with going or that I could possibly be offending anyone.”

Lovato continued, “With that being said, I’m sorry if I’ve hurt or offended anyone, that was not my intention. Sometimes people present you with opportunities and no one tells you the potential backlash you could face in return.”

She said it was “meant to be a spiritual experience for me, NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT and now I realize it hurt people and for that I’m sorry.”

Lovato also apologized for not being “more educated” on the topic “and thinking this trip was just a spiritual experience.”

She added that she was “going against all advice” to apologize “because it feels right to me and I’d rather get in trouble for being authentic to myself, than staying quiet to please other people.”

It ended with, “I love my fans, all of them, from all over.”

The backlash had clearly taken a toll. Soon after she posted, “I’m exhausted.” That was followed by a post that said, “And by exhausted: Don’t wanna talk about this anymore,” including with “friends / family.”

She reminds me of Demi Moore in a way. She seems like a basically nice person but has a certain emptiness inside.

She's exhausted and exhausting.

She is being attacked on Twitter vigorously for visiting Israel. Some of the tweets are actually disturbing - there is one about wanting to beat the shit out of demi for calling Palestine Israel. There are also tweets like "Jews are still milking the Holocaust (even though it took place for just 4 years) while denying Palestine their rights for over 50 years".

My question is - Are any of these people for real? And how do they live with themselves?

They are actually making me sympathize with Demi Lovato.

I'm assuming she's Italian American and was baptized in the Catholic Church as an infant. She doesn't need a second baptism except she's fallen in with evangelicals who don't accept infant baptism. They are the worse fanatics.

by Anonymousreply 41October 5, 2019 9:31 AM

Also even for these evangelicals all adult baptisms are equal. A baptism in a bathtub in Brooklyn is as valid as one in the Jordan. This is just bad theology and showboating on her, and the minister's, part. This is emotionalism and,.yes, the sort of stuff those in early recovery from drug addiction do. It usually amounts to nothing.

by Anonymousreply 42October 5, 2019 9:35 AM

She is so embarrassing. Who makes more gaffes than her? Remember the video when someone asked her what her favourite dish was, and she said "a mug, because they hold a lot of liquid"? Or that video where she asks some kids what they were learning at school that day, and they say they were learning about genes, and what you get from your family.... Demi goes "you mean like hand-me-down jeans?" DEAD.

Of course she didn't do her fucking research, she's probably never even heard the word 'Palestine' in her life. Israel must be fuming that she exposed them for the blatant purchasing of positive media (read: shilling) that they have always done.
