'Poot Lovato' featured on E! News & The Guardian
This thread is not about Demi or making fun of her, it's about how this meme is gaining force with social media and being featured on diverse piece of news and talked about on different publications. If the mods think the Poot meme topic is bait for people to be unrespectful, close the thread, but this is not offensive, trolling or flamebait, I want to discuss this just from the meme/tumblr madeup rumor perspective. For the people posting here, please behave.
Just like the "Delete it fat" meme made the news and the Ricky Martin jam incident was spread worldwide years ago, this time, various publications and TV shows are starting to report the tumblr made-up theory that explained "how Demi Lovato allegedly had a sister that was locked down in a basement until sometime this year".
E! News, The Guardian, Buzzfeed, Wattpad and even some national magazines are now reporting what people believe to be the new "it" meme of 2015.

In the best conspiracy theory to hit the internet ever (and that’s not difficult, given that most of them are offensive in one way or another and involve terrorism), a Tumblr user has discovered the (possible) existence of pop star Demi Lovato’s twin sister, Poot Lovato. Maybe.
On 3 October, a sketch of Demi Lovato was posted by Tumblr user Versace****, along with the photograph it was based on – a washed-out, overly lit fan photo, probably taken at a red carpet event.
Who is Poot?
The lighting is such that Demi’s clothes are undefinable and it appears she has a shaved head with a mohawk. You might say the photograph appears to be a different person altogether. You might say it is suspicious.
The fan art, meanwhile, was in the style of the I Have Drawn You meme (hilariously crude, almost completely unaesthetic hand-drawn fan pictures). Versace****’s post clocked up 75,000 notes in just two weeks – before it was mysteriously deleted.
A week later, the same washed out, eery photograph of Demi (or, reader, the person who we thought was Demi – so “Demi”) was posted again to Tumblr, this time by user cstcrpt. Here is when we learned the real truth.

Welcome to the world, Poot Lovato. A crazy Tumblr conspiracy theory has been picking up steam as the Internet claims to have discovered Demi Lovato's secret twin sister, Poot, who, according to the always truthful World Wide Web, has been locked in a basement her entire life—until now.
Per Buzzfeed, the rumor initially began when Tumblr user cstcrpt uploaded a photo of what appears to be a poorly lit fan pic of the "Cool for the Summer" singer, but the user, who has since deleted their account, wrote in the caption, "Demi's twin sister. She was locked in a basement her whole life. This picture was taken the first time she went outside. Her name is Poot."

'Cool For The Summer' hitmaker Demi Lovato herself has yet to address this particular meme, as she is now focused on the promotion of her recently releaed #1 album Confident, now out on iTunes.
