Demi Lovato is getting honest about her struggle early on in her career as a Disney star.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old pop star made a recent appearance on Keke Palmer’s Baby, This Is Keke Palmer podcast and got candid about her challenges her younger self faced, revealing that she has a lot of \u201ccompassion\u201d for the version of herself she was during the early days of her career.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere’s so many emotions that come to mind when I think about that period of time in my life,\u201d Demi told Keke on the March 3 episode of her podcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a lot of compassion for my younger self, because we were held to such high standards at such a young age\u2026 I think I was so hard on myself at the time that I wish I’d had more grace for myself,” she shared.<\/p>\n
Lovato kickstarted as a teenage Disney star with As the Bell Rings series and Sonny with a Chance, and rose to fame with her role in Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2, in which she starred along with Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas. <\/p>\n
Mentioning the time of her Camp Rock 2 press tour, Lovato revealed she went through a \u201cbreakdown\u201d and made amends at the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had to make amends to a lot of people, saying like, \u2018I’m sorry. I was so challenging to work with at the time. I was so miserable in my own skin and dealing with what I was going through, that I wasn’t the nicest person to work with at the time,\u2019” Lovato revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I think that chapter of my life where I was being really reflective of everything and, like, I wanted to make sure I wanted to right my wrongs.”<\/p>\n
Keke, who was also a child star, noted that the steps they made when they were younger were in order to survive.<\/p>\n
Demi, agreeing to Keke, added, “I was 16, 17, like, I don’t know. I just wasn’t always the nicest because what happened was when people would come on set and they’d say, \u2018Good morning, Demi. How are you?\u2019 In my head, I would literally think, \u2018You don’t care about me. You don’t really care how I’m doing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just wanted so badly for someone to see that I was struggling. And when I ended up having my breakdown, like everyone did, and I was able to explain to people afterwards, like, it wasn’t personal. Like, when I showed up and was bratty on set, like, that was not my intention. I was just doing, like, exactly what you said, doing what I had to do to survive,” she recalled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Demi Lovato gets honest about her ‘bratty’ behavior during Disney days Demi Lovato is getting honest about her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":327857,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-327856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327856\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
