Simon Cowell is “demanding” that Demi Lovato “lose 20 lbs.” before the “X Factor” premiere this fall, reports Star.
According to the magazine, Cowell “believes she has ballooned since the season two finale in December — and it’s bugging him.”
A purported “insider” tells the tabloid, “Simon doesn’t expect Demi to be supermodel skinny, but he does want her to look like she’s in shape.”
The alleged source continues, “He’s set a weight-loss goal of 20 lbs. for Demi and asked her to work hard on it through the spring and summer.”
Star‘s supposed tattle goes on to note that Cowell is “very supportive” of Lovato’s previous battles with an eating disorder, and therefore the show’s boss is supposedly “going above and beyond to make sure she loses weight in a healthy way.”
Seriously?
Is it very supportive to demand someone who suffered from bulimia in the past to lose 20 pounds?
Come on, now.
This story is BOGUS, not to mention insensitive to people who are actually overweight.
A rep for Cowell tells Gossip Cop, “This is completely untrue and has been totally made up.”
Shocker.
