The
YouTube docuseries Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, which premiered at SXSW last week and is being released online over the coming month, is a four-episode punch of honesty, brutal both for the viewer and, seemingly, for Demi Lovato.

Disney star turned pop
Singer, 28, fluidly addresses a constellation of past traumas, from drug addiction to bulimia to
Sexual Assault.
