Demi Lovato regrets publicist's lie about scarred wrists

Demi Lovato has admitted that she regrets how her old publicist dealt with the press and media's reactions to her scarred wrists in photographs from a few years ago. 

The singer and actress was seen in paparazzi and red carpet shots with scarred wrists back in 2008 and when speculation arose that suggested she had been self-harming, her publicist explained that the marks were from "gummy bracelets". 

Lovato told Elle magazine that although at just 16-years-old she probably wasn't ready to open up about her problems, it was wrong to lie in that manner:

"I don't think I would have been ready to talk about (my problems) then, but I could've come up with something better than gummy bracelets. Needless to say, that publicist is no longer (working) with us..."
