Joe Jonas may be struggling with similar issues that plagued his ex-girlfriend and fellow former Disney star, Demi Lovato, and sources claim that she is currently helping him through it.
The Jonas Brothers' abrupt split right before their fall tour and the release of her new album has been chalked up to "creative differences" and a "deep rift within the band", but perhaps something much more personal acted as a catalyst for the break-up.
Rumors have been circulating since and before the band's split that Joe Jonas has been struggling with addiction to drugs, and in a recent tell-all with New York Magazine, the 24-year-old musician opened up about his past drug use and brief relationship with Demi Lovato. He cited, for instance, Lovato and Miley Cyrus as the two young stars that had introduced him to marijuana, though whether his admission was accurate has been hotly disputed among all three of the stars' fans.
Lovato, who is now clean and sober, recently confirmed during a revealing interview with Access Hollywood that in and even after her Disney days, she was addicted to cocaine and alcohol, having detailed her desire to use cocaine every "30 minutes to an hour" even after going to rehab and getting clena for the first time back in 2010.
A Hollyscoop insider claims that not only is Joe Jonas indeed struggling to stay sober, he's enlisting Lovato's help.
"He has been in constant communication with Demi, as she has been a tremendous help in Joe fighting his demons right now," the insider said. "He is also in therapy sessions and staying close to his parents, as well as [his brothers] Kevin and Nick. Addiction is not a problem in his family at all as he is the only one that suffers from it. He is hesitant about a 12-step program because he doesn't want the public to know, even though they already do."
Most recently, Lovato attended an AA meeting with her childhood best friend, Selena Gomez, who has recently been openly supportive of her friend, the two having been photographed spending some quality time together lately.
