The video showed her mother, Dianna Hart saying: “Everybody down in Rio gonna get the Zika virus”, which is then followed by laughter from Lovato. In retaliation, fans expressed disbelief and disgust.
Demi then responded to criticism by posting, “In no way did I mean to offend anyone last night. I was laughing at how souther0n my mom sounded, not the issue at hand. Deepest apologies (sic).”
