The whole experience was triggering and awful. You can carry things for other people while also caring for another percentage of your customers who struggle DAILY just to even step foot in your store,\u201d Lovato said. \u201cYou can find a way to provide an inviting environment for all people with different needs. Including eating disorders \u2014 one of the deadliest mental illnesses only second to [opioid] overdoses.

And I\u2019m passionate so I\u2019m sorry that I got the messaging wrong. I\u2019m sorry that I may have disappointed some people but I\u2019m not coming after a small business as someone with a lot of followers.
