Demi Lovato"s Drug Dealer Actually Speaks on Near-Fatal Overdose
The man who allegedly sold Demi Lovato the drugs that nearly ended her life has actually stopped on the sidewalk and given an interview.
And he’s talked rather openly about the entire situation as well.
Over the past week or so, reports have identified Brandon Johnson as the dealer with whom Lovato had supposedly worked since April.
The two had developement a pretty close relationship that some outlets even claimed cross over from professional… to plutonic… to sexual.
Jacobs had just recently gotten arrested prior to meeting Demi — and has been under fire (even more fire than comes the way of most drug dealers, that is) because there’s a rumor floating around that Lovato took tainted drugs.
This is to say, Demi may have been unaware that the substance she was given had been laced with fentanyl.
Was this the case, TMZ asked Johnson when the website grabbed a few moments with him over the weekend?
The artist “100% she knew what she was taking,” Johnson tells TMZ, adding:
“I disclosed to her that these were not pharmaceutical. There were after market drugs, they were much stronger. She understood fully.”
Johnson would very obviously be an example of the kind of toxic acquiantance that Demi let into her life since she fell off the wagon this past spring.
He says the two had a “flirty friendship” that did, at times, becomes a “sexual” relationship and that they occasionally “messed around.”
Why did she text him at 4 a.m. the night of July 23, after going out with some friends to celebrate a birthday and then going back to her home with a select few of them?
“Cause she’s a girl and she wanted to kick it,” he said.
What did he and Lovato during at this late hour?
“We hung out. We watched our detective shows as usual… she sometimes has such long days, stressful hours and a stressful job” and she needs to relax.
Johnson admitted that he and Demi also took drugs together, but he didn’t get into any specifics and he claimed to not even have known what the drugs were mixed with.
Moreover, Lovato was a “little drunk” when he showed up, this shady individual confirms, but he tucked her in and left around 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. after she appears to be safely in bed, asleep.
“I’m not here to hurt anybody. I care for her very much,” the drug dealer told TMZ, concluding:
“I care for her a lot. I hope she comes through this better than she was before she got into it.”
Last we heard, Lovato was doing pretty well in rehab.
She is at an undisclosed location and she will remain there for an extensive period of time; the rest of the year, at minimum, according to various insiders.
When she gets out, she’d be wise to continue therapy in some fashion; to rely on her family members and long-term friends; and to never contact anyone such as Johnson ever again.
Hang in there, Demi. We’re thinking of you.

Dani Vitale: Demi Lovato"s BFF Receives Death Threats From Angry Fans
It’s been three days since Demi Lovato suffered an overdose that nearly claimed her life.
Friends, family, and fans of the singer are still reeling from the news, and unfortunately, some have chosen to lash out in destructive ways.
Earlier this week, Lovato’s guitarist, Mike Manning, blamed her friends for the overdose and threatened to “expose them” as addicts.
To be clear, it’s understandable to feel a confusing mix of emotions at a time like this, but unless it turns out those friends held her down and stuck a needle in her arm, it is 100 percent not okay to blame or shame Demi’s fellow users.
If this situation has taught us anything, it’s that addiction doesn’t discriminate, and the addict begging for change on the street deserves to be treated with the same dignity as a multi-platinum recording artist.
Manning hasn’t launched his horrendously ill-conceived campaign yet, but the misdirected outrage from fans who are desperate for someone to blame has already begun, and predictably, it’s made an awful situation considerably worse.
In the hours before her hospitalization, Demi was spotted doing shots at an LA bar.
Sources say she and several friends were celebrating the birthday of Dani Vitale, Demi’s longtime friend and backup dancer.
Little is known about what took place in the hours after the group left the bar, but since Demi was last seen celebrating Dani’s birthday, several foolish fans have decided to exacerbate whatever guilt of grief she might already be feeling by harassing Vitale online.
Insiders claim Vitale has been receiving non-stop hate messages and death threats.
This, despite the fact that she Dani is a teetotaler who has reportedly been a much-needed source of strength for Demi in the dark days following her overdose.
“Dani spent the whole day at the hospital with her,” a source close to Vitale told Radar. “Dani and Demi have known each other for a long time, and are very close.
“She’s very upset about it,” the insider added.
“She is very straight; she doesn’t do drugs.”
Despite the fact that Dani has apparently devoted herself to ensuring that Demi receives the best care and treatment possible, hundreds of fans (many of them tagging the vigilante Manning, of course) have spent their weeks hurling non-stop vitriol at Vitale.
“Fake friend…. f-ck you bitch is toxic,” one such psycho wrote today.
“I’m about to beat this bitch up,” reads another comment on Vitale’s Instagram page.
“Ima brake ur legs if i see you,” a third Demi obsessive commented.
Guys, we don’t know Demi personally, so we hate to speak on her behalf, but we’re pretty sure she’d agree that there are better ways to spend your time and express your concerns than issuing physical threats to her best friend.
Just sayin’.
