Demi Lovato apologizes for joking about Zika

The pop sensation was met with backlash after a since-deleted Snapchat video she shared on Friday night was labeled as insensitive towards the outbreak currently affecting Brazil. In the post, Demi's motherDianna Hart can be seen telling the camera, "Everybody down in Rio gonna get the Zika virus." Her statement is then met with laughter from Lovato. 

A hashtag retaliating against the "Confident" songstress quickly surfaced, #DemiLovatoIsOverParty, which detailed fans negative feelings toward the Snapchat vid.
