Fans immediately took sides, with thousands jumping in both in support of Lovato and against her — and the backlash and conversation got so loud, that she logged back on to Twitter later in the evening to address it herself in another series of tweets that included an apology (below):
I swear I could tweet something about craving jelly beans and it would offend someone.

For all of those coming at me rn, listen to the lyrics of Warrior and maybe you’ll have more compassion for someone who made a simple mistake. Of all people I know about sexual abuse. You don’t have to educate me.
