The X Factor judge Demi Lovato says being on television is both a "blessing and a curse," but the exposure has allowed her to use her celebrity to help others who have battled problems such as anorexia, bulimia and bipolar disorder.
"Just as much as it sucks to have tabloids writing about you, at the same time I had all these issues and I was able to raise awareness because I came out publicly with those issues and then I have tons of fans that come up and tell me, 'Oh, I got help with my eating disorder or this because you came out and said it,' " Lovato, 20, recently said at the Billboard/THR Film & TV Music Conference.
"Had it not been for the publicity and the tabloids or whatever it was, they may not have had a chance to save their own lives," Lovato said of the silver lining her own struggles have brought to her and also fans.
