Demi Lovato opened up about her new Hulu documentary “Child Star,” saying that young fame ruined her childhood and she won’t let her own kids go through the same.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the 31-year-old actress who was a staple of Disney Channel shows for kids growing up in the 2000’s said if her daughter ever came to her and expressed an interest in following in her footsteps into acting/music, she’d tell her to wait until she’s older.

“I’d say, ‘Let’s study music theory and prepare you for the day you turn 18, because it’s not happening before that,’” Lovato told the outlet.

“Not because I don’t believe in you or love you or want you to be happy, but because I want you to have a childhood, the childhood that I didn’t have,” she added.

“‘And also, let’s come up with a backup plan,’ which is something I wish I’d done because sometimes I think it’s time for me to move on, but I’m in this weird position in my career because I still rely on music for my income,” Lovato continued.

Demi Lovato looks back on her Disney years now and feels profound sadness, wondering how many people she treated poorly. “I think about people in the wardrobe department on my TV show because I’d go in there in bad moods all the time” https://t.co/dyxliWN8bM pic.twitter.com/Wu5rHr8pcZ

The “Camp Rock” star also talked about her new project, which she said was designed to be a cautionary tale for families interested in pursuing fame for their kids.

“Having the child be the breadwinner almost inherently changes the dynamic of a family, and then it becomes, like, how do you discipline that breadwinner?” Lovato said.

“I mean, they’d [mom and stepdad] try to ground me, but I was an egotistical child star, and I thought I was on top of the world. I’d be like, ‘But I pay the bills,’ and what do you say to that?”

Lovato later took issue with how former President of Disney Channels Worldwide, Gary Marsh, characterized the company’s responsibility when it comes to young talent, saying in a 2012 interview, “At the end of the day, it’s the parents who really have to be parents … the network is not responsible for raising their children.”

The actress disagreed and said after she left, she learned that the company had “hired a life coach with whom she was working [with] at the time,” which she said would’ve been helpful for her own family.

“I just think leaving it up to the families is really risky,” Lovato said. “Because not everyone has a healthy family dynamic, and you’re putting them in a pressure cooker.”

The “Sober” hitmaker previously opened up about her longtime battle with alcohol and drugs, and said it started when she was 13 because she was already being “bullied” and was “looking for an escape,” as The Daily Wire previously reported.

CNN anchor Jim Acosta cornered Michael Tyler, communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, asking what possible reason they could have for not doing a press conference.

Noting that Harris has been the Democratic Party’s de facto nominee for over three weeks — rising to the top of the 2024 ticket after a horrible debate performance resulted in President Joe Biden being effectively forced out of the race — Acosta asked why the vice president has continued to avoid interviews and even direct questions from the media.

“Would it kill you guys to have a press conference?” Acosta asked. “Why haven’t you had a press conference?”

Tyler laughed, and then replied, “Listen, the vice president and Governor Walz have been busy criss-crossing this country since the launch of this campaign and adding Governor Walz to the ticket, you saw the ways in which they went to — across the battleground states last week generating rallies of thousands, ten thousand here, 15 thousand there —”

“But you know, a campaign rally is not a press conference,” Acosta pointed out. “Do you mind if I cut in? A campaign rally is not a press conference. Why hasn’t she had a press conference? She’s the vice president, she can handle the questions. Why not do it?”

“We absolutely are going to do it,” Tyler replied, claiming, “You hear her take questions as she’s out on the stump, and she said last week, we’re going to be having a sit-down interview before the end of the month. What she is going to be focused on and what this campaign is going to be focused on is communicating directly with the voters that are actually going to decide the pathway to 270 electoral votes.”

Acosta did not appear to be convinced, pushing back: “Can you commit to a press conference this week?”

Tyler ignored the question, instead talking about a planned bus tour to Pennsylvania and repeating Harris’ claim that she would sit down for an interview by the end of August.

“One interview by the end of the month,” Acosta repeated. “I don’t want to belabor this, but one interview by the end of the month, I mean, that’s not a lot. I mean, can you commit to a press conference before the end of the month?”

Tyler dodged again, promising only to “directly engage with the voters who are going to decide this election.”

In the weeks since the Democratic Party punted Harris to the top of the ticket, she has actively avoided direct questions and interviews and instead has relied on a mostly-friendly media landscape to help her reinvent herself with no real scrutiny.
