9. Demi Lovato
Lovato is a former child star who was a feature on Barney and Friends. She has since become a huge pop star, who has recorded a lot of hit singles and received many accolades for her music.
When she was 19, Lovato developed a huge problem with cocaine. She says of this time: “I couldn’t go 30 minutes to an hour without cocaine and I would bring it on airplanes. I would smuggle it, basically, and just wait until everyone in first class would go to sleep and I would do it right there. I’d sneak to the bathroom and I’d do it. … And that was even with somebody (with me). I had a sober companion, somebody who was watching me 24/7 and living with me. I was able to hide it from them as well.”
Demi went into rehab in 2010 and appears to have conquered her demons.
