Demi Lovato Slams Time Magazine for Honoring Donald Trump
Demi Lovato has a few questions for Time Magazine.
But the singer’s issues with the publication can best be summed up by a single inquiry, one comprised of three letters:
WTH?!?
On Wednesday, Time editors declared their Person of the Year to actually be a bunch of brave people.
Referring to the countless women who have comprised the ongoing #MeToo movement, Time recognized the “Silence Breakers” that have spoken out against sexual assault and harassment.
These “Silent Breakers” include stars such as Taylor Swift and Ashley Judd, along with lesser known victims around the country.
Said editor-in-chief Edward in explaining why his magazine made this selection:
“This is the fastest moving social change that we’ve seen in decades and it began with individual acts of courage of hundreds of women, and some men, too, who came forward to tell their own stories of sexual harassment and assault.”
We totally agree.
It’s nearly impossible to find fault in this decision, right?
But here’s the thing:
Donald Trump was named runner-up.
The President (who took home the distinction in 2016) clearly made a huge impact on the world over the past 12 months… but he’s also been accused of sexual assault himself.
But over a dozen women.
So Lovato is curious how and why Time honored victims of sexual misconduct, while also honoring a man who likely committed an assortment of similar crimes.
“I’ve become less vocal about my distain for certain people over the past year because it only divides our country even more but this is worth speaking up about,” Lovato explained in the first of three Tweets on the topic, adding:
“@TIME mag – very disappointed in your hypocrisy and disrespect toward the women on your cover…
“To be named POTY by @TIME it should be for doing something positive or brave LIKE the women on the cover. It’s annoying that it’s just about impact on the news…
“Time mag highlights brave women coming forward against sexual assault on the cover but names a man with sexual assault allegations against him runner up to person of the year..
“Really @TIME? #hypocrites.”
Felsenthal did actually address his reasoning for why Trump earned the number-two spot on his list.
He told Today yesterday morning:
“He’s No. 2 on our list because he has changed the very nature of the presidency and the way the White House functions.
“He is on the verge of a first major legislative victory, he’s reshaping the judiciary [system], and aggressively rolling back regulations. The tweet that he sent wasn’t correct.
“In fact, we did the photo shoot for the reveal we’re about to [show] five days before the tweet. We didn’t say ‘probably,’ but you know how it goes.”
Ah, yes, the Tweet.
Late last month, Trump brought up the Person of the Year debate and Tweeted that the magazine told him he was “probably” going to win.
“But I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot,” he added. “I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway.”
The President was roundly mocked for this lie statement.

Paris Jackson Shares Photo with Michael Jackson, Tattoo Honoring Him
Paris Jackson may be a likeable, spiritual young woman of 19, but it’s clear that her late father’s absence looms heavily in her mind.
Fortunately, she has a way of honoring him and expressing herself all at once — and she’s just gotten a new tattoo.
Fans also help her to honor him, which is how we get photos that reach across time and space to reunite father and daughter.
That’s a fan-edited image of her with her dad.
She captioned it: “My angel, my king, my universe. 8 years without you feels like a lifetime.”
Her father died on June 25th, so the 8-year anniversary of his passing was just two days ago.
Paris is only 19, but the only way to see photos of her recent self with her father is with editing software.
That’s all kinds of sad.
But incredibly touching for fans to create for her benefit.
She also shared a photo of a new tattoo that she’s gotten to honor her late father.
She has other tattoos, but despite such a variety, she manages to do them so much more tastefully than you’d think.
Not that it matters, since it’s her body to decorate as she wishes.
But this latest tattoo is an endearing callback to her dad.
You know, as always, the foot people are going to love that picture more than anyone would like.
But sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and post a foot photo when it’s relevant.
The new tattoo is where it says “Apple Head” on her left foot, as that was an affectionate nickname that Michael’s children had for their dad.
In case anyone missed the significance, she included a green apple emoji with her caption, which read:
“With every step i take, you lift my foot and guide me forward. love you.”
That’s really beautiful.
It’s almost impossible to not have boundless affection for Paris Jackson.
You know how Prince Harry talked about how nobody wants to be royal because you’re just born into responsibility and celebrity without ever asking for it?
Well, Paris Jackson may not need to attend gaudy ceremonies that no longer hold any real governing authority, but she was absolutely born into a famous family and into an overpowering celebrity status that she never could have imagined.
But we don’t just like her because she’s sympathetic.
She’s an intriguingly spiritual person, and you only need to look through her Instagram to see that.
There’s also the (super relatable) detail of Paris Jackson’s fondness for nudity that our wildly uptight society sorely needs.
Honestly, Paris Jackson’s had a rough time, with ordinary and extraordinary challenges to overcome.
But we’re so impressed by the young woman she’s become.
Whether she’s explaining why 13 Reasons Why is harmful or giving internet trolls the smackdown, we’re so glad that she’s around and so willing to share her thoughts and life with the world.
If she wanted to be a total recluse, she’d have every right to do so.
