Demi Lovato has always been an active supporter of body image issues, and has struggled with her own demons in the past. So when the singer spotted a video game advertisement on Instagram that body-shamed it’s characters, Demi was not the one to sit quiet, reports EOnline.com.
The Grammy winner came across a sponsored Game of Sultans post that had one female animated character described as ‘pretty’ while another character as ‘obese’.

Demi took a stand and wrote on Instagram itself, at length, about how the ad was inappropriate. “Why is this fat shaming bulls**t on my feed? So many things wrong with this ad. 1. You can be ‘pretty’ at any weight. This is absolutely harmful to anyone who is easily influenced by societal pressures put on us from the diet culture to constantly be losing weight in a world that teaches us to equate our value and worth with the way we look and especially anyone in recovery from an eating disorder (sic),” she wrote.
Instagram has since then issued an apology saying that the ad was a mistake without being properly reviewed and has also pulled the advertisement down.
