Demi Lovato Reveals Gnarly Crystal-Induced Injury on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Lovato hit their head on an amethyst, requiring three stitches.
  • Demi Lovato stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday night, but they nearly didn't make it, telling guest host Mark Rober, a popular YouTuber, that they were wearing a wig to cover up an embarrassing head injury.

    The night before, Lovato revealed, they had to get stitches after hitting their face on a large crystal.

    "I was picking something up off the floor that I dropped," said Lovato, who uses they/them pronouns. "And I have — I'm a huge fan of crystals — I have, like, this — literally an amethyst that is about this tall."

    "And sharp, I assume," interrupted Rober.

    "Well, it's just really heavy, and there's pieces that are sharp," Lovato replied. "Anyways, I went to bend down to pick something up, and I didn't see the amethyst, and I hit my head, and I had to get three stitches last night in my face."

    Lovato revealed that after the incident, they FaceTimed their doctor to ask if stitches were necessary, then said, "I was like, 'I have Kimmel tomorrow. What do I do?' So I did what any sane person would do and made a TikTok."

    In Lovato's TikTok, they reveal a small gash over their eyebrow. Three stitches and one wig later, the singer was ready for Kimmel.
