DEMI Lovato‘s dad is a big fat liar — if her publicists are to be believed.

Reports earlier this week claimed Demi — who recently checked into rehab to “seek medical treatment for emotional and physical issues she has dealt with for some time” — called her estranged father from rehab.

Patrick Lovato claims Demi, “told me she loved me, she really loves her daddy.”

But the Disney star’s rep has spoken out to deny his claims, telling the New York Post, “Not true. She hasn’t spoken to her dad in a long time. He is making false claims.”

Earlier this month, Patrick said the pressures of Hollywood affected Demi.

“There are a lot of pressures,” he said. “That is one of the things I worried about when she signed with Disney. It’s just going to happen.”

Patrick — who is divorced from Demi’s mother Dianne — explained how Demi got her love of showbusiness from her parents even though he admitted it can take its toll on family life.

“She grew up around it so I guess that’s why she went into it; I guess it’s in her genes with her mom and her dad,” he said. “Mainly watching her mom, I’d gotten out of it myself. Cause someone had to take care of the kids.”

Meanwhile, it’s claimed Demi has been caught on camera snorting cocaine and knocking back booze.

“Demi was belligerent, being slutty and doing coke all over the house,” said a friend who witnessed the 18-year-old do lines of coke at a party in North Richland Hills, Texas.

“The guy who hosted the party shot multiple videos of this and what I’ve seen with my eyes, Demi is screaming, ‘F**k all of you, I’m famous, I don’t care what any of you think of me the whole world loves me.’ He shot her in the bathroom as she was finishing a line (of cocaine).”
