Demi Lovato nearly lost her life last month after suffering from some sort of overdose– they believe it was Oxycodone laced with fentanyl.
TMZ caught up with her drug dealer, Brandon Johnson, and this guy is seriously the worst. Yes, Demi is responsible for her actions, but this guy…I just can’t. What a scumbag.
He basically said he and Demi were just friends (he claims it kinda morphed into a “sexual” relationship, although TMZ’s sources for Demi deny that). She texted him that night at 4 am and asked him to come over. They watched detective shows (or something like that) and popped pills. He claims Demi knew she was taking something stronger, although he denies knowing that the drugs were laced with fentanyl. He said he left her house a few hours later, and she looked fine. Three or four hours later, an assistant found Demi “in deep distress,” and you know the rest.
TMZ says Demi’s friends basically hate the guy (and rightly so) and knew he was “bad news.”
Earlier this year, he was arrested and caught with “a stash of guns, drugs and cash.”
When cops picked him up he allegedly had narcotics, a fully loaded semi-automatic handgun and $10k in his pocket … and they discovered more guns, drugs and ammo at his home.”
He was also arrested in June and charged with DUI and possession of cocaine.
It’s so sad that someone with such a bright future got caught in up that lifestyle.
As far as we know, she’s still recovering in a rehab facility. We wish her the best.
