It’s already been confirmed that Demi Lovato will be judging another season of X Factor, but she did reveal after taking the job in the first season that she should have given herself more time to heal from rehab.
She cleared up what she meant by that during a Live From MTV session, saying “people took the wrong idea.”
"What I was meaning to say was I don't know if that was the best timing because... and I don't know If I'm going back to acting... I think someone that's recovering from an eating disorder can only be in front of the camera so much before it starts to play mind games."
She said that she ended up accepting it, and it actually helped her.
"I went back to TV, and it was worth it, and it was so much fun," she said. "But I also did it because not only was it going to help me get through some mental things and some fears, but it also held me accountable to still be that light in other people's eyes and an inspiration to people."
Lovato admits “there was some hesitation” about coming back, “only because I got so stressed out last year for the live shows because I am such a perfectionist and a control freak.”
Nonetheless she will return, and her fellow season 1 judges Britney Spears and L.A. Reid will not.
