In a March 2018 Billboard cover story, Lovato revealed she left the 2016 Met Gala early to attend an AA meeting after the "uncomfortable" environment made her want to drink. "I changed my clothes, but I still had my diamonds on -- millions of dollars of diamonds on in an AA meeting," she said. "And I related more to the homeless people in that meeting who struggled with the same struggles that I deal with than the people at the Met Gala -- fake."
