Demi Lovato Sits Down With Alyson Stoner, Christina Ricci, & Drew Barrymore For 'Child Star' Documentary
It's been over 15 years since audiences fell in love with Demi Lovato in Disney Channel's Camp Rock. The actress (who goes by both she/her and they/them pronouns) went on to lead Princess Protection Program with then-BFF Selena Gomez, Sonny With a Chance, about a fictional sketch comedy show, and Camp Rock 2. But the Disney dream we all saw on TV was far from reality. Demi Lovato revealed in 2013 that she had been dealing with substance abuse, eating disorders, and emotional issues (via The Huffington Post) — and that it seriously affected both her experience on the network and her relationship with her co-stars.
Alyson Stoner, who starred with Lovato in both Camp Rock films, told Christy Carlson Romano (from iconic Disney titles like Kim Possible and Even Stevens) in 2022 that to unpack everything that happened "will be, hopefully, a healing conversation if that could ever happen. If people would ever be willing to come together."
It looks like that time has finally come because Demi Lovato's directorial debut, Child Star, is coming to Hulu September 17 and the two stars are FINALLY reuniting.
