A poster of the artist Demi Lovato (30) is banned in the UK. In the poster, the artist is wearing a bondage-like outfit. The picture is taken from above, and she is lying on a mattress shaped like a cross.
The reason is that the poster is perceived as offensive to Christians, writes the BBC.
Confirming girlfriend
The title of the singer’s new album “Holy Fvck”, together with the image, links sexuality to a sacred symbol, believes the Advertising Standards Authority, an organization for advertising in Great Britain.
According to the BBC, the organization has stated that they have received four complaints related to the poster, and describes that the artist was lying on the mattress shaped like a crucifix in the picture.

“The singer was in a position with her legs tied to one side, reminiscent of Christ on the cross,” it continued.
The poster was thus removed after just four days.
Surprising with this
In addition, the Advertising Standards Authority is said to have received complaints that the poster had been put up in places where children could see them. According to the BBC, the organization assessed that “the ad was likely to result in widespread offence, and had been targeted irresponsibly”.
However, the record company Polydor Records believed that the poster was not offensive and said that the image was a work of art designed to promote the album.

The album was released in August 2022, and it was in this connection that the poster was put up in six different places in London.
“Holy Fvck” is Lovato’s eighth album, which will document her journey with alcohol and drug problems, as well as her struggles with her mental health. Nevertheless, the album will also document her treatment and recovery.
