Demi Lovato is continuing to open up about her near-fatal 2018 overdose.
The singer, 28, recently spoke to People magazine, revealing that she “wouldn’t change a thing” about how the events transpired following the overdose.
“Everything had to happen in order for me to learn the lessons that I learned,” the multihyphenate told the outlet at a Television Critics Association panel. “It was a painful journey, and I look back and sometimes I get sad when I think of the pain that I had to endure to overcome what I have, but I don’t regret anything.”
Lovato noted that she is “proud” of who she is today and expressed excitement for people to see her upcoming four-part YouTube documentary, “Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil.”
