Demi Lovato defends her sexy Cosmopolitan cover shoot

'Cool For The Summer' beauty Demi Lovato has hit out at the stores that have chosen to censor her new Cosmopolitan cover. 

In July, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation launched a campaign called “Cosmo Harms Minors" and it called for the magazine's front covers to be hidden from impressionable youngsters. Several stores took the campaign to heart and have begun placing shields in front of Cosmo.

She took to her social media account much earlier today and told her followers that she won't be made to feel ashamed or embarrassed of the shoot because, for her, it's a celebration of self-confidence and self-love, which is something she's incredibly proud of:

"What these individuals who are protesting don't understand is that for the first time in a long time I feel incredibly empowered and the most beautiful I've ever felt on this magazine (cover)."

"It's so liberating to be able to show the world how confident a woman can be once she learns to love herself. It took soul searching and a bit of time before I learned to embrace my body therefore I could not have been more excited to do this shoot. I think what's more important is showing women there's nothing wrong with embracing their bodies and sexuality. I am confident in my own skin and a proud Cosmopolitan cover girl! #unwrapmycosmo."
