Oh Demi. Demi, Demi, Demi.
Pop star and former child actressDemi Lovato is under fire for a recent tweet and, well, it’s a doozy. The 24-year-old drew ire, criticism, and a mass epidemic of eye rolls when she posted the results of a DNA and ancestry test on her Twitter. “I did a DNA test and found out I’m mainly Spanish, with Native American, SCANDINAVIAN (which I had NO idea), Irish British…” and, wait for it! “And I’m 1% African!!!!” Related:Mariah Carey doesn’t know Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato, either

Twitter appropriately dragged her. And there were “Mean Girls” references abound.

Lovato, who clearly knows nothing, later said she didn’t mean to offend anyone, and that when it comes down to it Twitter is just full of meanies. Poor thing. Related:This is John Legend’s perfect response to his Twitter hack I mean, I guess it’s cool to be 1% African, but does that mean you’re going to show up for the rights of Black people in our country? I didn’t think so. In the wise words of Gretchen Weiner, Demi — you can’t sit with us.
