Demi Lovato has revealed that she suffered three strokes and a heart attack as a result of a cocaine overdose in 2018, and that doctors warned her she was minutes away from passing away.

After relapsing, the 28-year-old actress was taken to a Los Angeles hospital. She’d been clean and sober for six years.

Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, a documentary series chronicling her near-fatal 2018 drug overdose and the impact it had on her life, launched its teaser on YouTube on Wednesday. The clip provides the first glimpse into what the 28-year-old singer went through after being admitted to the hospital.

Lovato added, “I had three strokes. I had a heart attack. My doctors said that I had five to 10 more minutes.”

With the documentary, Lovato stated she wanted to “set the record straight,” with a buddy telling the camera, “she should be dead.”

Lovato opens out for the first time in the docuseries, produced by Michael D. Ratner, about her near-fatal overdose, examining every element of the tragedy and her awakenings in the aftermath. Interviews with Lovato, her friends, family members, and other performers, including Elton John and Christina Aguilera, are featured in the documentary.

Some of the people interviewed indicated they didn’t know if she would survive the overdose.

“I’ve had a lot of lives, like my cat. I’m on my ninth life,” Lovato said. “I’m ready to get back to doing what I love, which is making music.”

Lovato also revealed in a video chat on Wednesday that she was left with brain damage and that she is still dealing with the consequences.

“I don’t drive a car because I have blind spots in my vision. For a long time, I had a really hard time reading. It was a big deal when I was able to read a book, which was like two months later, because my vision was so blurry,” Lovato said in the video conversation, according to The Associated Press and other sites.

“I dealt with a lot of the repercussions and I feel like they are still there to remind me of what could happen if I ever get into a dark place again,” she added. “I’m grateful for those reminders, but I’m so grateful that I was someone that didn’t have to do a lot of rehabbing. The rehabbing came on the emotional side.”

In July 2018, the former child actress was found unconscious at her Los Angeles home and brought to the hospital. She died of an overdose of opiates laced with fentanyl a month after revealing she had lost her six-year streak of sobriety.

“When you’re young and famous, my God, it’s tough,” adds Sir Elton John, who also features in the teaser.

The four-part series Dancing with the Devil, directed by Michael D Ratner, promises to give viewers “unprecedented access” to Lovato’s recovery and career following the July 2018 overdose. The singer, whose songs include Sorry Not Sorry and Heart Attack, previously referred to her near-death experience as “miracle day.”

The project goes “far deeper than an inside look beyond the celebrity surface” and “is an intimate portrait of addiction, and the process of healing and empowerment.”

In January 2020, she talked about recording a song called “Anyone” only days before the event, which she described as a “cry for help.”

For years, the 28-year-old singer and actress has been open about her mental health and drug issues. Several of her songs address similar issues, and Lovato admitted in her 2017 YouTube video “Simply Complicated” that she first used cocaine when she was 17 and working for Disney Channel. She was diagnosed with bipolar illness a few years later.

On March 16, the international premiere of “Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil” will kick off the 2021 South by Southwest Film Festival.
