Demi Lovato cuddles turkeys 'rescued from cruelty' but eats one for Thanksgiving, internet calls her 'monster'

Fans found ironic and hypocritical that the popstar would boast about her love for turkeys moments before she decided to feast on one for Thanksgiving dinner

Demi Lovato might have had a happy Thanksgiving, but she is now facing the wrath of her fans for cooking a turkey. This comes after she had posed cuddling turkeys 'rescued from cruelty'. "The turkeys were so excited to meet Demi Lovato at our California Sanctuary,' the Farm Sanctuary wrote earlier this month. "Thanks for visiting, Demi, we loved having you!" .

However, during Thanksgiving, Lovato shared several photos where she was holding and cuddling some turkeys that had been rescued from gruelling conditions. Fans found ironic and hypocritical that the 28-year-old would boast about her love for turkeys moments before she decided to feast on one for Thanksgiving dinner.

One fan poked fun at the irony and wrote on Twitter: "TODAY IN CRINGE: Demi Lovato poses with turkey in photo promoting animal sanctuary that fights animal agriculture. Demi later makes turkey for Thanksgiving." "I’m not saying meat eaters can’t adopt or rescue a turkey but to be in an ad for adopting turkeys then to post a cooked turkey in your story seems like a pointless oxymoron. Demi Lovato could’ve quietly adopted a turkey or quietly cooked one, she didn’t need to post about BOTH," a fan wrote. "Demi Lovato you monster that Turkey trusted you, whats next you gonna throw you lover into the Baking Oven," another tweeted.

Some just thought that it was a fuss over nothing. "cant believe y’all cancel demi lovato over a damn turkey that almost the whole country eat on thanksgiving but y’all still have yet to properly cancel br*ce h*ll and t*ny l*pez fuck is wrong w yall," one tweeted. "Every single american eats turkey on thanksgiving but twitter decided to get mad at demi lovato for it, you truly can’t make this shit up lmao," another wrote.

Lovato recently ended her relationship with fiance Max Ehrich after being engaged with him for a few short months following a whirlwind romance.  A source close to the pop star told People, "It was very hurtful to Demi when she realized that Max's intentions weren't genuine,” adding that, “Breaking off the engagement was not an easy decision.” Another insider explained that one problem for the couple was going back to their regular lives after spending the entirety of the pandemic together. “Demi and Max were basically together 24/7 for months, they lived in a bubble with zero stress and everything was just fun,” the source said. ″Max shot up in fame, and it's been hard. ″He got wrapped up in [Hollywood].″

Despite her relationship ending, the source added that Demi is ″doing okay,″ and the ″[the breakup] is a good thing. It was hard for Demi to admit she made a mistake when it came to Max." Another source who spoke exclusively to Us Weekly echoed this sentiment saying, “Demi’s feeling a sense of relief after seeing Max’s true colors. She’s in a really good place and already jumping right back into work and spending time with friends and family.”
