Demi Lovato Is ‘Disappointed’ That Time Honored Trump Alongside #MeToo as POTY
Demi Lovato is speaking out against Time magazine for honoring the silence breakers of the #MeToo movement right alongside Donald Trump, who was a runner up in the outlet’s annual “Person of the Year,” and who has several accusations of sexual misconduct against him.
“Time mag highlights brave women coming forward against sexual assault on the cover but names a man with sexual assault allegations against him runner up to person of the year. Really @TIME?” the singer tweeted Wednesday afternoon, adding a #hypocrite.
Lovato went on to say that being named “Person of the Year” should be for doing something positive or brave — just like the women on the cover–and not simply for one’s impact on the news.

She added that while she didn’t want to “divide” the country more, “this is worth speaking up about.”
“@TIME mag – very disappointed in your hypocrisy and disrespect toward the women on your cover,”Lovato concluded.

The magazine’s “Person of the Year” went to the silence breakers of the #MeToo movement, and the cover featured Taylor Swift, Ashley Judd, Susan Fowler, Adama Iwu, and Isabel Pascual. The short list for the honor included Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the DACA Dreamers, “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins, Kim Jong Un, Colin Kaepernick, Robert Mueller, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping.
Trump has several accusations of sexual misconduct against him, and is infamous for his “grab em by the p—-” comments about being able to grab women when famous in a leaked Access Hollywood tape.
