Demi also allegedly had a falling out with her sober coach earlier this month, accusing him of betraying her.
However, the site claims that some of her other friends didn’t see it coming at all, with one acquaintance saying she seemed ‘great’ when he visited her at home just two weeks ago.
The latest report from TMZ claims Demi’s overdose occured at the end of an all-night party at her home.
When the emergency medical services arrived to assist her just before 12pm, alerted by Demi’s team, her fellow revellers were reportedly not present at the scene.
The star’s team did not provide any information about the substances involved in her overdose, according to the site.

‘Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully ask for privacy and not speculation as her health and recovery is the most important thing right now.’
TMZ first reported that the singer was transported to an undisclosed medical facility in LA shortly before noon on Tuesday after friends called 911.
A law enforcement source confirmed she was given Narcan when she was found, a medication that’s used to try and reverse an opioid overdose.
While it’s been speculated that Lovato overdosed on heroin, TMZ reported late Tuesday that the star had refused to disclose to paramedics what she had taken and that no drugs were found at her home.
A source told the website that she had not overdosed on heroin but wouldn’t disclose any further details. However, the songstress has previously struggled with cocaine and Oxycontin addictions.
According to UsWeekly, the Narcan was kept on hand by one of the singer’s friends ‘in case something like this happened.’

‘Her friends knew this was coming because she’s been using so much again. They were up all night partying the night before at her house,’ a source told UsWeekly. ‘Luckily, the Narcan worked and she will recover.’
Law enforcement told TMZ that there is currently no criminal investigation because they could not determine what drug Lovato was under the influence of.
It’s reported that the Confident singer’s mother Dianna De La Garza is at her bedside.
Demi’s aunt, Kerissa Dunn, posted on social media Tuesday afternoon that the 25-year-old is ‘awake and responsive’, TMZ reported, and also asked fans to pray for the hitmaker. However, it seems the posts have since been deleted.
Meanwhile, Fox announced it is replacing Tuesday’s scheduled episode of Beat Shazam in which Demi appears due to the day’s events. She had tweeted about her appearance on the show just hours before she was rushed to the hospital.
The singer’s Thursday concert in Atlantic City, New Jersey, has also been canceled, as Variety confirmed.
Lovato has been incredibly open about her struggles with alcohol and drugs, and earlier this year debuted her single Sober in which she detailed her battles and path to recovery.
Demi’s song Sober hears her sing: ‘Mama, I’m so sorry I’m not sober anymore / And Daddy, please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor.’
‘To the ones who never left me / We’ve been down this road before / I’m so sorry, I’m not sober anymore.’
‘And I’m sorry for the fans I lost who watched me fall again / I wanna be a role model but I’m only human.’
