Demi Lovato looked sensational as she bronzed her fit and curvy body while chilling in Miami ahead of the global pandemic. In 2016 photos that are still live, the former Disney star flaunted her bombshell body in a strapless bikini while enjoying the East Coast sunshine, but she couldn't escape the body shamers. When The Daily Mail published the photos, Demi was subject to a fair amount of praise, but some only seemed out to bully her. At the time of the photos, the 32-year-old was 23 years old. While one troll likened her to a "whale," another called her "plump." Fortunately, plenty of popular comments noted how healthy Demi looked, particularly given her history of eating disorder battles.

Wrapping a towel around her waist in one image, Demi kneeled on the lounger, eventually lying on her back as she soaked up the sun. Fans also saw her enjoying a pool dip. Going makeup-free, Demi completed her beachy look with reflective metallic shades as she wore her hair tied back.

Topping replies with over 1,200 upvotes was a fan saying: "Beautiful healthy figure!" That said, remarks gaining fewer likes tormented the singer, who has documented her eating disorder battles as beginning as young as 9 years old.
