Justine Skye Tells Her Domestic Violence Story With The Release Of “Build” Feat. Arin Ray [VIDEO]

SplashNews.com Justine Skye Reveals She Suffered An Abusive Relationship We have had our eye on Justine Skye for a LONG time and are happy to see that she is finding a real voice for herself and revealing some difficult truths in the process. The singer’s video for her new single “Build” was released at midnight. The clip, which also features Interscope artist Arin Ray, showcases Justine and other young women coping with some pretty ugly situations with young men. Watch it below: Prior to dropping the video Justine posted a few times on Instagram to let fans know it was coming. Then when it dropped she posted a short clip along with a longer caption describing something she recently experienced in her real life. As DV Awareness month comes to an end.. the issue doesn’t just disappear. Recently I’ve had one of the scariest/heart breaking experiences in my life and it’s still hard for me to talk about. I felt stupid, angry, depressed.. blamed myself. Trying to figure out how someone who claimed they loved me so much could find such evil within themselves to hurt me mentally and physically. Learned a lot about the people I chose to call my “friends”.. and about myself. I was one of those people who would be like “No man would ever put their hands on me! .. blah blah blah..” We all think we know what we’d do until it’s happening to you. Now, I’m not looking for sympathy and never thought this would be part of the story I’d be telling of my self.. unfortunately it is, but I won’t let it be what defines me. I had to find the strength within myself and I’m hoping that through this video I can motivate whoever else is going through this or worse, to do the same. You are strong, you are loved and you deserve so much better “Grown-Ish” actor Da’Vinchi who played Justine’s love interest in the video also posted a clip to promote the release of the visualsk, noting that it was “based on a true story” in his caption. These are really important things that we all should be discussing. We hope that Justine has gotten the help she needs to recover from her trauma and that she’ll use her voice to continue to amplify the real issues. Now we’re really looking forward to what this RocNation stunner has in store with her upcoming album!

Demi Lovato Calls ‘Skyscraper’ Her ‘Cry For Help’

‘That video was an emotional release for me, like therapy,’ she tells E! News. By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato in her “Skyscraper” video Photo: Hollywood Records Demi Lovato is feeling better these days. Her ups and downs are evident in her latest single, “Skyscraper,” which she said helped her confront her issues before she landed in treatment late last fall. She recorded two versions — one last year during her darker days and one after she left treatment — but, she told E! News , “It just didn’t feel the same, so we kept the original one. For me it was … so symbolic, it being the song I recorded before treatment and yet it was providing a message. It’s so crazy the way things played out, that it ended up being my symbol and it represented what I’m trying to spread the word about: getting help and rising above any issues that [I and] my fans are dealing with.” As emotionally draining as it was to record the track, she said it also hurt her physically to be in the studio working on it. “I was doubled over, just in pain. I remember thinking, ‘This is kind of my cry for help’ back then, because I hadn’t spoken to anyone about these issues,” she said in the interview with Ryan Seacrest. “And I hadn’t gotten the help that I needed.” Those emotions are also touched on in the video, which will be released this week . “That video was an emotional release for me, like therapy. … I kept crying, I was so emotionally invested. … That’s when I realized, that’s what music videos are all about. “There were so many things that represented my addictions and eating disorders and self-harm,” she added about the video. “When I’m unraveling this black fabric … it was the toxicity that took over my mind for so long, that oozed out of every pore that I had because I was suffering inside. … I’m taking it off and walking on broken glass and powering through it.” Lovato is very open about the fact that, while she isn’t hurting herself anymore, she still isn’t 100 percent. “I’m not going to be perfect, but … if I can make it through the day, that’s all that matters,” she said. “It’s a daily journey, and it’s definitely going to be a struggle that I’ll have to deal with for the rest of my life.” Share your well-wishes for Demi in the comments below.
