Demi Lovato says promoters gave her drugs and alcohol

(CBS News) Actress Demi Lovato opened up to British magazine, Fabulous, about her recovery from an eating disorder and dealing with fame and drugs in Hollywood.

The 19-year-old former Disney Channel star told the magazine about her early exposure to drugs and alcohol, despite being underage.

"Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs," she admitted to Fabulous. "They wanted me to come back so I would be seen there. They were basically kissing my ass. I thought they were my friends. I thought I was having fun."

Lovato, who was admitted to rehab in November 2010, says she understands how celebrities can get into trouble.

"Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says 'no.' That's why so many end up overdosing and dying. It could definitely have happened to me," she said to the magazine.

The singer-actress has suffered from bulimia since age 12, telling the magazine she'd make herself sick "up to six times a day."

Now, after completing a year-and-a-half of treatment, she says she is still insecure about her size 10-12 body.

"I need to be secure in my body before I go back in front of the camera," said Lovato. "Anyone in recovery from an eating disorder would find that triggering, and I'm not ready."

Lovato has maintained a low profile since the September 2011 release of her third full-length album "Unbroken."
