Demi Lovato Disses Justin Bieber At ‘X Factor’ Auditions

Demi Lovato is using her stage as a judge on The X Factor to get a couple things off of her chest, namely her apparent dislike for Justin Bieber.

Demi Lovato Slams Justin Bieber — More Than Once!

During an audition session on the USC campus in Los Angeles, Calif., Demi let loose on Justin, according to TMZ.

It all reportedly started when Demi gave her opinion on a 22-year-old wannabe Bieber who had a bad attitude. “We don’t need another little punk running the streets,” Demi quipped, TMZ reports.

And she didn’t stop there. Her Justin-centric disses got even clearer after another hopeful contestant sang a rendition of Justin’s “As Long As You Love Me.” Demi loved the performance and reportedly said, “Well finally someone can sing the song the way it was meant to be sung.”

So harsh, Demi!

Demi Lovato: Why Did She Lash Out At Justin Bieber?

Since overcoming her past struggles, Demi seems to have become an elder stateswoman in the pop music world. She hasn’t been afraid to speak her mind on other stars before (ahem, Taylor Swift), and she’s also proven in the past that she’s on Selena Gomez’s side in her relationship with Justin. Perhaps her comments were made in disgust that Selena had taken Justin back yet again.

We’ll also point out that July 10 was the day that video of Justin peeing in a kitchen bucket hit the internet. If there’s anything that can leave a bad taste in your mouth, it’s that video, so that may have been a factor as well.
