There's a saying about eating your words, but I don't think it was meant to be taken so literally!
Singer and actress Demi Lovato has recently come under fire after her Thanksgiving meal reminded her fans that she had been promoting adopting turkeys to save them from being eaten just months before.
"I recently visited @farmsanctuary, which is the first animal rescue specifically for farm animals in the U.S. I spent the day with cows, goats, sheep, pigs, donkeys, and turkeys, who were all rescued from cruelty," she wrote at the time.
"Not only are these animals cute, but they are forgiving. The animals at @farmsanctuary had to learn to trust humans after what they’d been through, and their strength and resilience is amazing! Check out adoptaturkey.org or @farmsanctuary’s page for more information! #AdoptATurkey," she wrote, encouraging her followers to take part in the sanctuary's movement to "adopt" turkeys rather than eat them for the holiday.
Demi shared a picture of a roasted turkey to her Instagram stories with the caption, "I'm thankful for all of you."
Fans immediately noticed the discrepancy between the two messages and began calling Demi out for it.
"Another Hollyweird hypocrite," one fan tweeted.
What do you think? Was Demi being hypocritical, or are people overreacting? Let us know how you feel in the comments!
