In a heartfelt moment from Demi Lovato’s new documentary, "Child Star," Raven-Symoné opens up about their past interactions during the filming of "Sonny With A Chance." It’s a candid revelation that caught many fans by surprise. Raven candidly admitted to Demi that she “wasn’t the nicest person” when they first met. This honesty sets the stage for a deeper conversation about the pressures of being a child actor in the Disney machine.
During the documentary, Demi recalled her initial excitement to connect with Raven, who she had admired from her days on "That’s So Raven." However, the meeting didn’t go as smoothly as Demi had hoped. In her words, “When we first got on the phone to talk about this project, I was like, ‘I watched you on 'That’s So Raven.' Such an inspiration!’ To which Raven replied, ‘B****, I was on your show.’” This unexpected exchange highlighted the reality of their shared history that Demi had forgotten, a testament to her struggles with dissociation stemming from past trauma.

Raven, who guest-starred as Amber Algoode on "Sonny With A Chance," reflected on Demi's behavior at the time. She remarked, “You weren’t the nicest person. You weren’t like, ‘Welcome!’” Yet, Raven expressed understanding of the challenges Demi faced, recognizing the emotional turmoil that often accompanies child stardom. “I didn’t hold it against you. I just thought, ‘Something’s going on there,’” she said, showcasing a maturity that comes from years in the industry.
As the conversation continued, Demi opened up about her own struggles during that period of her life, especially following the success of "Camp Rock." She candidly acknowledged that her rising fame created a significant shift in her dynamics with her co-stars, particularly with Alyson Stoner. “I remember trading connection for success,” Demi explained, revealing the pressures that made her difficult to connect with. Alyson echoed these sentiments, noting the feeling of walking on eggshells around Demi during their final years together.
Demi took responsibility for the impact her behavior had on her relationships, expressing profound sadness for how she treated those around her. “I just want to genuinely, deeply apologize for any stress or any walking on eggshells, any hurt feelings,” she said. This acknowledgment is a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion, particularly in the high-pressure environment of child stardom.
In reflecting on this exchange, it’s clear that both women have grown significantly since those early days. Their candidness offers not just a glimpse into their past but also a message of understanding and healing. It emphasizes how important it is to recognize and address the challenges of childhood fame, and the impact it can have on personal relationships.
