[HMG Celebrity News] – As you may have heard, Demi Lovato left the Jonas Brothers tour to enter rehab for ‘personal issues.’ But that’s just the tip of a very strange iceberg.

Life for Demi was stress from the start; Born on August 20, 1992 in Dallas, her parents chose to name her ‘Demetria Devonne Lovato,’ which probably didn’t help (kidding). Then came school — which was worse;

She was bullied so badly, she got home-schooled instead. And friends say Demi was so insecure, she often cut herself. So quitting the tour was just the latest event in the life of someone even her close friends call ‘Demi Drama.’

Her rep tried to put some positive spin on the decision. But it didn’t do much for the fans.

The trouble really started at school. Demi was already acting; She did Disney specials and also acted with Barney. And that’s probably why she was a target of hate for her classmates;

“I was bullied in middle school,” she recently admitted. “It got so bad I had to be home-schooled. Many people think of bullying as getting beaten up, but for me it was all the verbal harassment. Words can hurt. Things were said to me I still haven’t forgotten.”

This also caused some brushes with bulimia, and two years ago photos surfaced of [then 16-year old] Demi at Miley Cyrus’ birthday party, with strange marks on her wrist. Her rep dismissed reports of self-mutilation, and blamed candy jewelry.

“Demi was wearing gummy bracelets just before her appearance, and they were so tight they left dents on her wrist,” publicist Allison Leslie insisted.

But family sources say Demi has indeed cut herself. And breaking up with Joe Jonas was a major blow;

“On tour they were calling her ‘Demi Drama,’ an insider shares. “After the split it was all drama. Everyone tried to be professional, but you could tell it was wearing on Demi. It was a taboo subject, but she clearly wasn’t over Joe.”

When the tour was over, Demi went on a promo tour for ‘Camp Rock 2,’ and promoting her single from the film.

“It was too much ask of a girl that young. She couldn’t handle it,” the source oozes. “Demi has a lot of issues she’s dealing with, but the source is a great deal of stress.”

And the stress soon came to the surface — She closed her Twitter account, quit the Jonas tour in the middle of its South American segment, then on Saturday she started a fight with one of the tour’s dancers at the airport in Peru.

“She just lost it, right at the airport in front of everyone,” says the source. “The Jonas boys dad basically said, ‘That’s it. You’re going home.’ ”

Joe’s new date, Ashley Greene was there and witnessed the meltdown. And despite claiming she’s strongly opposed to hurting people with words, friends say Demi made ‘verbal threats’ towards Ashley.

Friends of the troubled teen also say the fracas at the airport was ‘the catalyst’ to Demi finally deciding to take responsibility’ for her actions. So now she’s in rehab.
