"To all the people who talked s—t to Demi you’re F—IN DISGUSTING," Rexha, 29, tweeted Monday. "Attacking someone that is 6 months sober about her personal issues with drugs and mental health over a tweet is LOW."

The tweet that caused the troll uproar against Lovato was relatively innocent. She wrote, "So far 21 Savage memes have been my favorite part of the Super Bowl."
She was flooded with responses referencing her battle with drug addiction and her near-fatal July 2018 overdose.
She then wrote, "F—k Twitter. This is why I don’t tweet anymore. If you’re gonna come at me for making a joke, try coming at me with something original not involving drugs."
