The Internet Cannot Contain Itself about Demi Lovato’s “Twin Sister” Named Poot
All it took was one bad photo of Demi Lovato and a meme was born. Now, Tumblr is filled with stories about Demi Lovato’s twin who has been living her life locked away in a basement. This should be a warning to everybody: never trust the Internet with anything.
It all started with this picture…
Nothing out of the ordinary. Just a low quality photo taken of a celebrity and then BAM! Poot Lovato was born.
Who is Poot Lovato? A Tumblr created this fictional backstory about Demi’s “twin sister.”
And people ran with it.

It only took four sentences for an unflattering picture to turn into a viral meme sweeping all social media.
Some people thought it was hilarious.
Okay seriously, I love @ddlovato but this #PootLovato thing has me dying over here.

Don’t forget, Perez Hilton was furious people took photos of Lamar Odom’s family when they were outside the hospital.
In true fashion, the Internet could not control itself.

Let me guess. It’s because Poot is love and love it Poot and we are all love, right? FOH
This was Demi when she opened her computer this morning.
Don’t worry, girl. Some people just don’t know how to act.
It wasn’t long till people starting putting Poot all over pop culture.

Like on Demi’s old Disney show Sonny with a Chance.
And, apparently, she is in higher demand than Diego.

Some people even want her to run for president.

Oh, and Poot officially has an e-book about her life in the basement.
Her fans are probably like…
After all, Demi has been a very vocal champion for positive body image and helping young girls be comfortable with themselves and this is the thanks she gets.
Not sure why, but Britney Spears was dragged into the messy affair.

Sorry, Brit. The Internet is just like the school bully you always dreaded.
Let’s all hope Demi can find some humor in this.
Because if we know one things, it’s that the Internet never forgets and it will never surrender.
