iamstrong 544 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 It's a long article, so I'll just highlight the important parts. Full article is in the link below Being a part of a company like that comes with certain expectations. Not overtly, but there was a subtle vibe. We were working with Disney in 2007 when the Vanessa Hudgens nude-photo scandal happened. We heard that she had to be in the Disney offices for a whole day because they were trying to figure out how to keep her on lockdown. We’d hear execs talking about it, and they would tell us that they were so proud of us for not making the same mistakes, which made us feel like we couldn’t ever mess up. We didn’t want to disappoint anyone—our parents, our fans, our employers—so we put incredible pressure on ourselves, the kind of pressure that no teenager should be under. One relationship that meant a lot to fans was the one I had with Demi Lovato, who I’ve known for years. We had been friends forever, we were both Disney kids, and because we played a couple in the Camp Rock Disney Channel specials—and fans liked seeing us together—we eventually dated for a month. I really got to know her and got to see the ins and outs of what she was struggling with, like drug abuse. I felt like I needed to take care of her, but at the same time I was living a lie, because I wasn’t happy but felt like I had to stay in it for her, because she needed help. I couldn’t express any of that, of course, because I had a brand to protect. It was an insane situation to be in. Things kept building up, and Demi ended up punching a girl in the face on a plane, because she thought the girl was blaming her for something. Everybody gasped, and the girl just started bleeding.That’s when her team and her family told her, “You need to go into rehab.†I remember being in South America, and fans immediately jumped to the conclusion that we kicked her off the 2010 tour, and they just hated on us for it. The first time I smoked weed was with Demi and Miley. I must have been 17 or 18. They kept saying, “Try it! Try it!†so I gave it a shot, and it was all right. I don’t even smoke weed that often anymore. I was caught drinking when I was 16 or 17, and I thought the world was going to collapse. But I was in another country, and it was legal there. My 21st birthday, I fell down a flight of stairs. I was unconscious that time, and my whole team was scared to death that somebody was going to get a picture. Now I appreciate wine or a vodka-soda at the end of the day every once in a while.

evil4life 3,270 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 just read this a few minutes ago and... honestly i didn't expect the whole 15 year old Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato persuading 18 year old Joe Jonas into smoking weed also i thought Demi was suffering from an eating disorder what is this "drug abuse" he's talking about? finally i will admit i naively thought he still was doing the whole promise ring thing and it wasn't a few months ago when i heard he was "moving in" with his gf that i kinda figured he was over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinypuffling 943 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 The idol life is hard work everywhere. His worries seem a bit more trivial compared to certain kpop worries though.. like IV drips, scandals ending your career and shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitargeekette 5,960 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I can never get how people regard good behaviour as "pressure"...like why would you willingly want to get yourselves involved in crap that'll mess up both your body and your reputation? Is the world we live in so much about "fun" and "being free" that no one cares about simply behaving yourself anymore? They'd rather see everyone get MESSED UP by 17 and then have to try and sort themselves out afterwards? I. don't. get it. /rant I am glad he was able to not spiral tho. And Demi seems to be healthy now which is lovely. But it's always so sad how all of those things could have been avoided... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyoyeon's lines in check 6,413 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I get annoyed when I see these former Disney stars act high and mighty about their past as if people would even care about them now without that launchpad.

xXXXXXx 1,252 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 not entirely surprising tbh. and those of you who are delulu about your idols being innocent, take notice. its only an image they have to upkeep because their main audience are preteens and teens. they arent all as conservative as you think.

YOONGI 6,021 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I always thought he'd be the Jonas who spilled everything. I guess since they broke up he figures there is nothing to lose now. Anyway, not surprised. I actually was in Jonas fandom and by relation into a lot or the other disney people when I was younger so none of this surprises me.
