Demi Lovato has slammed Time Magazine’s editors as “hypocrites” for honouring Donald Trump alongside #MeToo women.
TIMEÂ announced on Wednesday that they were honouring “Silence Breakers” as it’s Person of the Year award.
President Donald Trump was named as runner up, however, due to the fact that at least 16 women have accused him of sexual assault, the magazine’s decision was not liked by readers.
The singer decided to use her platform on Twitter to defend the women of the #MeToo campaign.
“Time mag highlights brave women coming forward against sexual assault on the cover but names a man with sexual assault allegations against him runner up to person of the year.. Really @TIME? #hypocrites,” she tweeted.

Demi also tweeted, “I’ve become less vocal about my distain for certain people over the past year because it only divides our country even more but this is worth speaking up about.”
“@TIME mag – very disappointed in your hypocrisy and disrespect toward the women on your cover,” she wrote.
“To be named POTY by @TIME it should be for doing something positive or brave LIKE the women on the cover. It’s annoying that it’s just about impact on the news.”
