Demi Lovato on Miley: ‘I don’t have anything in common with her anymore’

Miley Cyrus

These are photos of Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato looking overenthused on the 2009 red carpet of the Hannah Montana movie. Their smiles look completely fake. Demi looks hyped up on something. To be fair, this was probably the age when she was experimenting with drugs. Demi always overcompensated with a super-chipper mood during the height of her personal troubles.

Demi is promoting her new skincare line, Devonne by Demi, which is such a weird name. Demi still has a very young audience, so perhaps her image will help the company score some sales. Demi promoted her line on the TJ & Loren Amp 103.3 show. The subject of Miley came up, and Demi told it like it is:

TJ and Loren spoke to Demi Lovato about her new skincare line, Devonne by Demi. She also answered some listener questions, including where her friendship with Miley Cyrus stands.

When asked by a listener if they’re still friends, she said: “Um … yeah … that, um… we’re, we’re like, we’re acquaintances … it’s life, and people change, and, you know, I don’t have anything in common with her anymore, and I wish her all the best.”

You can listen to the whole episode here. None of it is very interesting except the part about Demi and Miley’s breakup. I do question how tight these two were back in the day. Miley used to mock Demi and Selena Gomez on YouTube. Maybe they simply faked their friendship for press events, or they were “frenemies.”

I definitely understand growing apart from teenage BFFs. Facebook never fails to inform me how little I have in common with the people I went to high school with. Everyone goes in different directions after graduation, and Disney was “high school” for Demi and Miley. Nowadays, Miley is ripping her clothes of in public, dropping Molly and smoking pot. Whereas Demi has been working on her sobriety for years. They have nothing in common. Was their whole friendship a lie? Demi isn’t really dissing Miley here, and Miley’s too busy photoshopping herself in NSFW ways and smoking joints on Instagram to notice.

    People grow up, people change…next. 😛

    Those expressions are so fake, it’s outright hilarious. But then, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an honest emotion on Miley’s face… other than that time she rolled her eyes at Justin Beiber.

  3. Lori says:

    I don’t think any of these Disney girls would be friends under normal circumstances anyway.

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      I think under normal circumstances when you are quite young, you are friends with the neighborhood kids because you live around each other, and when you get older you start to bond with people based on shared tastes in music and stuff like that.

      These kids were all forced into an unnatural arrangement as teens whereby they were forced to have fakey professional adult relationships with each other for Disney profit. I think they all at least fake liked each other because they were made to. That’s my two cents.

      • otaku fairy says:

        Good point. This could explain why none of the girls who were friends as former disney or nickelodeon stars seemed to stay close in adulthood. That, plus media drama, plus rivalry in some cases.

  4. Kiddo says:

    Best argument for abandoning FB, aside from the NSA silver platter of data mining and banking.

  5. scout says:

    Miley was so cute!

  6. serena says:

    I think at one point Demi was in a relationship with Miley’s older brother? Maybe that’s why they got close for a certain period of time. But other than that, I didn’t seem to me like they were friends at all.

    • Asha says:

      Exactly. Demi and Selena seemed to be friends (I think they met at an audition as kids, before any of them were famous), but Miley didn’t seem to be part of their “group”.
      Also, Miley was doing semi naked shoots by 14, so… They probably never had anything in common.

    In life after a certain age, we all begin to spread our wings in different directions. It was a very awkward interview and she did everything but say she didn’t give two effs about Miley. They’re growing up for better or worse.

  8. Kemper says:

    I blame the Jonas brothers.

  9. Lily says:

    Lol they see definitely frenemies. Like you said Miley and that Mandy chick (what happened to her?) mocked Demi and Selena on YouTube and started the Great Tween War. That was epic and hilarious and it went to a new level with one of the Jonas brothers wore a Team Demi shirt LOL
    Anyways the only Disney teen queens that were real friends were Demi and Selena and Demi and the JoBros. And the only reason I say that is because they were still there after her rehab stint. Although Demi might have dropped Selena because of the JB drama and her apparent downward spiral into drinking.

    Such drama

  10. Lex says:

    I’m not sure Demi has actually been working on her sobriety for years… She’s been talking about it but have her attempts actually been sincere?

    • Sailor of Saturn says:

      Though I’ve believed she has relapsed (twice or so) before, she has been candid about her usage of drugs before being diagnosed as bipolar since 2009. She’s been vocal about both subjects, and it’s annoying how some people discredit that.

    • Fiona says:

      She’s worked very hard and been very honest about her struggles. She seems to be in a genuinely good place in her life. Not cool to doubt that when there’s no evidence to support it.

    • lunchcoma says:

      I think they are. I suspect there have been relapses, but you will be very hard pressed to find an addict who’s never relapsed, especially in early sobriety.

  11. Sarah says:

    I’m not convinced they were ever really friends anyway.

  12. Amy says:

    Ironically even with her substance issues this just made me pity Miley more, she’s so immature and trying so hard to portray an image of something that Demi actually knows about.

    Yeah it’s cute to waggle your tongue and sing about popping mollies when you’ve never dealt with addiction and don’t know how your words will effect some fan.

    Good for Demi.

  13. Bread and Circuses says:

    I’d buy this. I believe Demi is sober now, and I believe Miley is using so heavily that hugging her like that would probably give a person a contact high now.
