Demi Lovato is reflecting on her new docuseries, Dancing with the Devil.
The 28-year-old Grammy-nominated singer discussed her first time watching the series during an appearance on The Tonight Show on Friday (April 9).
Demi told host Jimmy Fallon, “I had a physical reaction the first time that I watched it. Like — anxiety attack.”
When Jimmy asked if it was “odd” for Demi to be so open about her life, she replied, “It was challenging.”
“I had to work through a lot of things before I actually told the story on camera,” she continued. “But I’ve been working on myself and putting in a lot of work behind the scenes so that when it was time to put it on camera, I felt completely secure to tell my story.”
Demi revealed that ultimately the project has been extremely healing for her.
“It’s been really cathartic, really really therapeutic,” she said and added that hopes that people can learn from what she went through and that the documentary helps to destigmatize mental health.
In the latest episode of the docuseries, Demi revealed what she thought about her ex Max Ehrich‘s behavior after their breakup.
