Demi Lovato Reflects on the Dark Side of Child Stardom in New Documentary Child Star

August 14, 2024 50 1

Demi Lovato has always been candid about the complexities of growing up in the limelight, and now they’re delving even deeper into that experience in the upcoming documentary Child Star. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lovato opened up about the lingering feelings of sadness and regret tied to their years as a Disney Channel star. They expressed remorse for how their pain during that time negatively impacted those around them, particularly the crew and fellow actors on sets like Sonny With a Chance and Camp Rock 2.

Lovato didn’t shy away from discussing the challenges of being the primary breadwinner for their family at such a young age. The pressures of financial responsibility complicated family dynamics, leading to tensions that were difficult to navigate. Reflecting on this period, Lovato admitted to moments of egotism, acknowledging the difficulty their parents faced in disciplining a child who was also the family’s main source of income.

Now 32, Lovato is in a much different place, happily engaged to fiancé Jutes and considering starting a family. However, they’re clear that any future children won’t be following in their early footsteps until they’re of age. Lovato’s journey, which will be further explored in Child Star—premiering September 17 on Hulu—serves as a cautionary tale for parents and children alike about the high-stakes world of child stardom.
