Demi Lovato's 'Holy Fvck' Posters Banned in U.K. for Possibly Causing 'Widespread Offense'

Demi Lovato‘s Holy Fvck promo hit a wall in the United Kingdom.

The 30-year-old hitmaker dropped her album in late 2022, and posters promoting the release were put up in London.

However, the artwork – which features Demi laying on a cross and wearing a sexy outfit while tied up in an homage to BDSM – was deemed “likely to cause serious or widespread offense” and banned by the Advertising Standards Authority.

While Demi‘s label pointed out that they were promoting the release, the ASA agreed that the artwork should be banned for two reasons. First, it was found to be offensive and inappropriate for children in a final report.

They also noted that it was likely to offend Christians for the religious undertones.

“We considered that the image of Ms Lovato bound up in a bondage-style outfit whilst lying on a mattress shaped like a crucifix, in a position with her legs bound to one side which was reminiscent of Christ on the cross,” they reported. “Together with the reference to ‘holy fvck’, which in that context was likely to be viewed as linking sexuality to the sacred symbol of the crucifix and the crucifixion, was likely to cause serious offence to Christians.”

Demi‘s ads are not allowed to be used in the U.K. again in the future.

By the sounds of it, it won’t be a problem for the star. After all, they already teased that they were working on new music!
