Selena Gomez may be the one with a song called “Cut You Off,” but Demi Lovato is taking a cue from her former friend’s playbook.
“Learning to set boundaries with other people — that was something that I have just learned over the past year and a half,” the 27-year-old “Anyone” singer began on Jameela Jamil’s “I Weigh” podcast on Friday, April 24. “I had to learn that not setting boundaries put me in the position I was in. Talking about every detail of every part of my life, whether it be a relationship or whether it be my recovery, nothing was sacred to me anymore.” Lovato, who completed a 90-day stint in treatment for her substance abuse struggles in October 2018, added that she’s had to “cut a lot of toxic people” out of her life in the past year. “I kind of used to have this mentally that if I had negative experience with someone I always needed to mend it or I always needed to make things right,” she explained. “I’m not really friends with any of my exes today because I had to realize that that wasn’t healthy either. Trying to maintain close friendships with some of my exes just isn’t realistic.”
