Like her fellow Disney alum, Demi Lovato, Cyrus also felt " overworked," explaining that she endured grueling "12-hour days" on the set of "Hannah Montana" and would get "coffee jammed down my throat to wake me up." In 2016, the songstress even admitted to Elle that she was underpaid, stating, "I mean, at one point - they'll probably kill me for saying it - I was probably the least paid person on my cast because I didn't know any better.
I was made to look like someone I wasn't, which probably caused some body dysmorphia because I had been made pretty every day for so long, and then I wasn't on that show, it was like, 'Who the f*** am I?'" "I was told for so long what a girl's supposed to be from being on that show. However, they added that they felt "overworked" and would have liked "more downtime."Ĭyrus opened up to Marie Claire in 2015 and revealed that Disney put a lot of pressure on her when she was a teenager. While Lovato did blast Disney for the insensitive joke, they later shared with Harper's Bazaar that they were "grateful for the opportunities" that they received from the company. According to HuffPost, a character delivered the line, "I could just eat you up, well if I ate." Lovato slammed the network, tweeting, "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." Disney apologized to Lovato and had the episode pulled off the air. Lovato has been extremely open and honest about their struggles with an eating disorder and drug abuse, and they called out Disney on Twitter in 2011 after an episode of "Shake It Up" poked fun at eating disorders. " were like, 'Would you be willing to fix it?' I wish today that I hadn't, because my gap was really cute,'" they recalled. Lovato shared with Allure that they were asked to fix the gap between their two front teeth, which they later admitted to regretting. Most of us assume that working for Disney would be a fun experience, but it turned out to be the total opposite for these stars, and they weren't afraid to put Disney on blast. While these two stars left Disney with nothing but good things to say about their experiences, that can't be said for the actors and musicians below whose career starts on the network were not as pleasant as fans might have imagined. "They have such a system in place to where it's really difficult to fail, but it's not going to be done for you," Ryan told Ladygunn, adding, "In my relationship with Disney, the more that I learned, the more they encouraged me."Ĭhristy Carlson Romano is one actor most millennials will remember for her role as Ren Stevens in the 2000 sitcom " Even Stevens." She also praised the network and said in a YouTube video that she has had "an overwhelmingly positive experience working for Disney Channel" and would even like to return to the network one day. Actor Debby Ryan, who shot to fame on "The Suite Life on Deck" and "Jessie," once shared that Disney taught her several lessons about the acting world that she still uses to this day. The Disney Channel has given us some of the biggest names in Hollywood, and several of these stars have thanked the corporation for jump-starting their careers.
