So Demi Lovato, former Disney star, was fuming mad over an eating disorder joke that left a bad taste in her mouth. Demi, as we all know, has struggled with an eating disorder bulimia and was treated for her bipolar disorder in a rehab center.
I find it really funny how a company can lose one of their actress’ from the pressures of an EATING DISORDER and yet still make joke about that very disease. #nice
- the singer and former star of “Sonny With a Chance,” tweeted last Friday
Dear Disney Channel, EATING DISORDERS ARE NOT SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT. – another tweet from Demi
As a response to her tirades, Disney’s official public relations responded through Twitter as well…
“@ddlovato – we hear you & are pulling both episodes as quickly as possible & reevaluating them”
“@ddlovato – It’s NEVER our intention to make light of eating disorders!”
Disney indeed pulled the Shake It Up episode titled “Party It Up” and an episode of another show called So Random!.
