Teen singer/actress Demi Lovato, an independent-minded Disney starlet who has battled eating disorders and self-mutilation, has pulled out of a tour to enter a rehab facility, a spokeswoman said Monday. Lovato, 18, is getting "medical treatment for emotional and physical issues she has dealt with for some time," a spokeswoman said in a statement.
"Demi has a long history of battling these issues. She was bullied in school, has fought through eating disorders, and has struggled with cutting."
Lovato had been on a Latin American tour with fellow Disney pop heroes the Jonas Brothers before canceling her remaining commitments during the weekend. She dated middle sibling Joe Jonas earlier this year.
