Meanwhile, Demi Lovato sided with her fiance and insisted that the photos were "fake" and "doctored."
"It's really sad when people FAKE images to put women against each other. If women have conflict, that's between them, NOT YOU," she wrote in an IG story.
In addition, she urged the public and the media to put their energy on more serious matters instead of focusing on celebrity gossips and tearing relationships.
"Secondly, don't y'all have more important s-t to write about in 2020??? I challenge any tabloid that dares to type my name to mention Breonna Taylor and the fact that her murderers still haven't been arrested. WRITE ABOUT THAT," Demi added.
