"To this day, I haven't gotten an apology. I've heard nothing," Welch told People. "That's sad if you think that person is your friend."
The 21-year old dancer then chronicled the incident which occurred five weeks ago while the two were on a plane heading to the next destination on the Jonas Brothers tour.

Before the flight, Welch says Lovato assembled all her dancers into a room to threaten them into admitting who told told tour managers about her questionable conduct during a night out the evening before. Welch claims she remained silent during the meeting since she didn’t witness the events in question and didn’t tattle on Lovato. "I felt, honestly, I didn't say anything and didn't think twice about it," she said.
However, hours later, Lovato and Welch had their infamous altercation. "We were on the plane with the Jonases having this awesome time and I didn't get a call or text from Demi or a 'hey, you got a problem with me,' nothing. And she walks up and punches me and literally walked away and got in her seat."

Shortly after, Lovato left the tour and checked into a treatment facility.
Lovato’s camp said they are actively speaking with Welch’s lawyer to “resolve this as quickly as possible.”

There is no such thing is a friend anymore. Usually when it comes to friends? There's a code when it comes to getting into a physical altercation. You talk it out, you work out compensation privately. Suing is a last resort. This is shady at best.

As others have said, what can Demi do? She's in inpatient treatment. I doubt she has access to a phone. Plus, The other girl hired a laywer. Anything Demi says can be used against her. This situation will likely end with a pay-off.

Most likely.

Alex has lawyered up that's why Demi won't contact her and because she is in treatment. If lawyers are involved
than both should be told not to contact each other.

Actually Demi did try to reach out. "A source close to Lovato explains that "Demi hasn't been able to call Alex because she is sequestered in treatment, but multiple efforts have been made to reach out to her."

Whatever! "Reaching out" will result in admitting the incident occurred which will then be viewed as a sign of culpability.

The incident occured. It's well known by now. A "physical altercation" is what triggered Demi to get help so yeah. We know it happened. Just issue an apology and pay the restitution fees. Be done with it and move on.

I can tell you, too, went to law school.

It doesn't take a lawyer to know WHAT happened. Only a few bits didn't measure up but none the less, what IS fact is that Demi did strike this girl. That doesn't mean Alex deserves an ungodly amount of money though.
