Before entering a rehab facility, Demi Lovato punched dancer Alex Welch in the heat of the moment, so it seems obvious that a lawsuit is in the works.
Luckily, reps from both sides are moving towards a settlement.
Welch’s attorney, Donald Karpel, said:
“Alex is seeking a settlement, an apology from Demi and a donation made to a charity of her choice." He also “has faith that we will reach an amicable settlement.”
The dancer was scheduled to do an on camera interview, but did not after a request from Demi's camp to hold off until the end of negotiations.
Demi's spokesman, Jesse Derris, said:
And we're urging him to stay silent. He's treading too deeply into Michael Lohan territory.
Yesterday, it was reported that Alex Welch, the backup dancer who was on the bad end of Demi Lovato's alleged meltdown before going to rehab, is planning to sue the singer for their physical altercation.
Seeing a cue to look fatherly, Demi's dad Patrick Lovato issued a warning to the girl through the press. He said:
"Demi has really good lawyers and so does Disney, this girl shouldn't sue. She won't win. Demi is so successful and and she has plenty of money, that's why this girl would be going after her. She wouldn't do this if Demi wasn't famous."
Ah, so innocent! He has so much to learn about fame whoring.
She isn't suing Demi to get her money, just like you're not talking to the press because you're a concerned father. It's all about the attention, pops!
And if we're wrong and you truly are looking out for your baby girl, the first step would be laying off the interviews. Demi doesn't need you to speak for her. As you said, she has really good lawyers.
Just be there for her in a non-publicized way. That would help her TONS.

“Demi’s attorneys have had an initial discussion with Mr. Karpel. They are exploring the possibility of an amicable resolution of this matter. We do not plan on making further public comments during this process.”
“I hope to get this settled and put this behind me,” Alex added.
We hope so too!
