According to Lovato, she and her team were constantly at odds due to their aggressive food monitoring tactics that eventually led to her abusing drugs. During the interview, Lovato revealed how her brutal her team was in regards to her eating habits, stating:
"If I was in my hotel room at night, they would take the phone out of the hotel room so I couldn’t call room service, or if there was fruit in my room they took it out because that’s extra sugar. We’re not talking about brownies and cookies and candies and stuff like that, it was fruit."
The Glee actress then went on to detail how her team members' over-controlling tactics led to her questioning her sobriety, saying:
"So I was stuck in this unhappy position and here I am sober and I’m thinking to myself, 'I’m six years sober but I’m miserable.'" Lovato continued, "I’m even more miserable than I was when I was drinking. Why am I sober?"
When she attempted to express how her management's micromanagement was affecting her, she was told that she was being "selfish" and that her eating habits could potentially "ruin everything not only for herself but for all of those around her." All of this aggression eventually led to Lovato relapsing on drugs and alcohol and her eventual 2018 overdose that required her to stay at Cedars Sinai Medical Center for a total of two weeks.
