“Why do people think it’s ok to hack celebrities and leak their private photos?” one person wrote on Twitter. “Demi Lovato deserves so much better than this. We love you, Demi!"

Another said: “Demi Lovato nearly died a year ago, lost one of her close friends only a few days ago due to addiction struggles and now someone feels the need to hack her Snapchat and leak pictures. The world makes me feel physically sick.”

Lovato has a history of addiction and body image issues. In 2018, the singer attended rehab after she was treated for a drug overdose.

Since then, Lovato has been promoting body positivity on Instagram, where she recently shared a photo of herself in a bikini with the caption: “This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a bikini unedited.” Support free-thinking journalism and attend Independent events
