LaLa Kent thinks Demi Lovato's idea of being 'California sober' is 'super offensive' to people working hard to fight addiction.
The Vanderpump Rules star, who has been sober since October 2018, said she disapproves of Lovato's recovery strategy, where the non-binary singer allows themself to drink alcohol and smoke cannabis 'in moderation.'
Kent explained how disrespectful the idea feels to people who work hard to be 100% substance-free, saying: 'I don't like to judge, but I actually think that that's super offensive.'
'If you're drinking and smoking weed, you're not sober,' she added later during her appearance on David Yontef's Behind The Velvet Rope podcast on Monday.

'There are people out there who work their ass off to never take themselves out of reality and to never place themselves in an altered state,' Kent explained, adding there are some who won't even take 'DayQuil or NyQuil' because of the side effects.
'So to say that you're like California sober or this type of sober is extremely offensive,' Kent went on.
She finished by dismissing the idea that 'California sober' even exists, saying: '…I've been in rooms with men and women who have given up everything just to not pick up.'
Advocating complete abstinence, LaLa said: 'You're not sober if you're drinking or you're smoking weed, you are not sober.'
The Bravo star has been a vocal advocate for Alcoholics Anonymous since quitting drugs and alcohol after spiraling out of control following her father's sudden death.
