i agree 100%…i LOVE demi im a lovatic nd disney did die when she left….its not right AT ALL that they are jokeing about eating disorders or stariotyping models…..just disgusting…truly appalling

I totally agree with demi!

I agree totally with what Demi Lovato said. Apparently the writers of said show have never had some1 close to them suffer this type of disease. You can’t joke about something that can lead to death. Especially if you don’t know what it’s like to suffer one of these disorders. Please stop the ignorance.

It’s sick to think they used a joke like that..especially since kids can be influenced so easily nowadays. I’m A 16 year old dude I’m insecure about my weight now because of today’s society. Disney should also start hiring actresses that we can actually see…why these girls so skinny :’(

Why is it that nobody cared about the Shake it Up thing before but now that Demi said something everybody’s like “Ohhhh eff yew Disney.. you suckkkkk!1!!1 Eating disorders arent funnyyyy”

what was the joke ?

because no one watches that show, Demi JUST now saw it and regardless it still isn’t funy

Caught a rerun possibly?

Thank you!!

I’m glad she stood up to it. It was a really stupid move on the writers’ part.

when the model said, “I could just eat you up, well if I ate.”

I dunno. Does it matter though?

Pretty much because she’s acting like a drama queen.

any clip of it?

You clearly don’t know what it feels like to suffer from poor body image or you wouldn’t call her a drama queen!

Um i do because i have friends like this but they just laugh it off. @_@

Its not just shake it up that made a comment about eating disorders. So random did too, “angus only eats one meal a week.” And they said it like it was something proud. The clip in on youtube. The point is that this shouldn’t be happening, these diseases are so serious and take tons of lifes everyday. They almost took my life and I’m still struggling with excepting that I’m not going to be as skinny as actresses on tv but, all we’re ever told is that the thinner you are the more beautiful you are and that’s just not true. I’m so proud of Demi and her accomplishments and disney should be ashamed of themselves.

I remember that episode. When CeCe and Rocky get caught at Gary’s party, Flynn (CeCe’s little brother) is sitting on a model’s lap and that’s when she says, “You’re so cute. I could eat you up, well if I ate.” The writers of Shake It Up basically used a joke that TV and people still make about female models: that they don’t eat because their job requires them to be thin. I’m not bashing Demi because I love her and even have her latest album, but I think she blew this way out of proportion.

it’s ok but i remenber that this girl worked for disney so she doesn’t remenber that in her time when she worked for disney they put the model how a teenager should be

I used to love Demi. But saying that makes me wanna hate her now. She got a little out of control this time. I mean, I haven’t watched Disney Channel in 3 weeks and 2 days. Disney is in my blood, not literally. But I almost died the time I didn’t get to watch Disney. And when my timeline on Twitter was filled with Demi Lovato and Disney Channel. It made me feel bad. Demi’s getting bitchier than ever now. Just because the company that made you what you are now is joking about something that involves you. You don’t need to fight against what old shows it has and the new shows it does today. So, stfu !

wasn’t that demi’s old show?

Couldn’t have said it better myself

Maybe but does it change the fact that it is offensive? I mean thats like saying there was a joke on a televisions show about insulting black people yet no one cared about it until Jesse Jackson brought it up. Does it change the fact that its still offensive? no.

Yeah it was just a joke. I mean it’s not like people DIE from eating disorders or anything like that….oh wait…they do. Dumb ass.

She isn’t going to cut herself or punch Bella Thorne in the face over this is she?

Maybe they laugh it off to mask their true feelings.

I can’t believe some people are saying Demi is being a bitch or a drama queen about this. It isn’t right, no matter how small the joke is. She has every right to be offended.

the last three comments make me worried for the world…you all have seriously issues. and J3zz1c8….that comment wasnt even coherent, what are you trying to say???
If there was a joke about racism or down syndrome or cancer, no one would disagree with demi. EATING DISORDERS SUCK. I just got out of treatment yesterday in fact. it sucks.

And you say , “she got a little out of control this time.” and then u say, “i almost died the time i didn’t get to watch disney.” dafuck????????? shut up.

I totally agree! Eating disorders are a disease that should not be taken light. Shame on you, Disney!

So you hate her because she is speaking out against a joke that is clearly offensive to a LOT of people and flat out says “eating disorders are funny” Really? Well then i guess you would have to get mad at black activists groups that speak out against prejudice that exisists in this world. maybe you should speak out against womens rights groups that fight for equality for everyone. Hell why not speak out against people who are looking to ban the law that says gay marrige is not ok for whatever reason. if you think being a bitch is the same as being opinionated then you’re fucking stupid. Just because a company gave her a chance and put her name out there doesn’t give them the right to poke fun at eating disorders and that doesnt mean a former talent of theirs cant speak out against their stupidity.

Grow a brain you idiot.

Please don’t be her fan anymore. Please? We don’t need morons like you in her fan base.

No but she might punch you for being a fucking moron. And for that, I might cheer her on :)

since when is standing up to the truth getting out of control? she just doesn’t want others to through what she had gone through, that’s all.

yup!! she is just sayinn it like how it is.

Demi is doing something that a role model should do. she tought us to stay strong, and now, to stand up for what is ryt!! u go girl!!

it does not!!

yup. so do i

realy? realy? realy? is that suppose to be funny?

She IS directing it to Disney Channel – obviously, the writers and producers ARE Disney Channel. God, people are so dumb these days.

I find it “interesting” that Disney’s actresses are now skinnier than Miley, Demi, Hillary Duff, Raven-Symone, Jennifer Stone, etc. I also find it “interesting” or somehow “suspicious” that after the show “So Raven” was cancelled, Disney Channel never produced another show in which an african-american girl was the main character. In a nutshell, Disney’s going downhill. Big time.

u put that in a perfect way i couldn’t say that any other way!

You said it’s to mask their true feelings, that’s what everybody else did, then Demi spoke up about it, when other people were too scared to speak up about it. Obviously if one of your idols said something, you’d go along with it. But if you want to go ahead and join Disney in thinking that eating disorders are funny, then go ahead and be an absolute insensitive cock.

I understand how it might be more offensive to her having gone through it but i know it was noticed before demi tweeted about it i certainly noticed it and i think she was just trying to fix the way young girls think it could scar them and they could think they have to hurt their bodies the look smaller!!!

Eating disorders are hard enough to deal with as it is without insensitive pricks like you in the world.

Yeah but they’re telling kids it’s ok not to eat to be thin, which is not right at all. I personally thought disney had a bit of class… Sorry, that one went out of the window when they made talking fish that went to school underwater ><

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Amen.

How often do people that are of age to truly understand this shit just randomly watch this show?

I think they’re not as bad as Miley Cyrus but give them another year or so in the limelight and they will be.

yeah what the hell what are you 12? Even then what the hell? Also, you have forgotten to use punctuation.

Right. All shapes and ALL SIZES. I can understand her having an issue with a joke about EDs– I don’t think the joke in question is that big of a deal (dont watch the show, but the joke doesn’t seem to be condoning EDS?) but I can see her point. However, I think her comment about current Disney girls being too tiny is pretty bitchy. I have several friends and family members who are naturally tiny. Some are athletic, but some just have insane metabolisms and eat more than I do but just can’t gain weight. So they shouldn’t be hired as actresses on the Disney channel because their weight is too low through no fault of their own…? Yes, being anorexic is unhealthy, but being morbidly obese is as well. I love Raven, I think she is and was beautiful, but you can’t say she was healthy at her highest weight. Who’s to say the Shake it Up girls aren’t naturally tiny? If she’s gonna tout the fact that everyone’s beautiful, you have to include skinny people as well as not-so-skinny.

In A.N.T Farm, China Anne McClaine is the main character, and she’s an African-American girl.

I just watched the episode and personally I have never struggled with any form of eating disorder but my best friend is struggling with one currently and I know how hard it is on her and it has also become very hard on me. I am scared every day that it will be the last time I see her, its inexplicable how painful it is. In the episode they idolize this model and after she says the comment “I could just eat you up, well if I ate” my heart immediately sank. Then the group proceeded to laugh about it. If girls on Disney Channel think cool people don’t eat and I as a young girl saw that, I wouldn’t want to eat so I could be cool like them! I am thankful that at this age I am not influenced by that type of advertisement but I know as a young viewer I could have been. Demi spoke out and because of that a PR for Disney said that they are taking the two shows off for further review. This was the right thing to do, it eliminates the things already presented and will caution Disney on future episodes to deviate from that form of a joke. It may have become a big ordeal but this is a big ordeal that society must overcome so that the human race can remain healthy and not believe that what they see in the mirror isn’t good enough. Because EVERYONE is beautiful and EVERYONE deserves a chance to reach their dreams. No matter what the number on the scale. My friend watches America’s Next Top Model on a regular basis, which makes her feel even worse about her body. This is what society is doing. Making unhealthy, beautiful. I refuse to give in to this and I will stand up for it. Right by the side of my idol and savior, Demi Lovato.

yea your right, she hasn’t. she’s still a growin teen tho figurin things out. she punched someone and REALIZED her mistakes and went to rehab. i agree with you tho, she should go with this in a positive way. idk, this world is just messed up.

I don’t think she’s being a bitch at all. But, I feel as though she is a little over sensitive. I don’t think little kids will actually stop eating just because of that episode. That’s just my opinion.

Thank you Sarah! Finally someone out there see’s a different side to this. I’ve noticed there are some people on twitter who are a little offended on one specific tweet Demi wrote. I respect Demi’s opinion and I agree with the whole idea about not promoting “Eating Disorders.” I think what she is doing is great but her saying: “And is it just me or are the actress’ getting THINNER AND THINNER” has offended a few young girls including me. She may not mean this or may have re-worded it wrong, but some people took these words as if its WRONG to be THIN also. In addition, these new generation of Disney actresses are young! Perhaps, most are younger than 14. It should not matter that they are thin because they are still growing! But I know Demi truly means that everyone is beautiful in all shapes and sizes but I personally think she should not have mentioned that. My younger sister saw her tweets and it made her feel bad to be “thin” afterwards, even though she is naturally skinny and perfectly healthy.

God knows I love Demi, but I honestly think she’s overreacting. But I do agree that it’s not something that should be taken lightly and that it shouldn’t be joked about.

They made that stereotype because a LOT of the times its true. I mean a model suffering from an EATING DISORDER? THats just unheard of! You really are stupid you know that?

Oh yeah its just a joke. I mean its not like people DIE from eating disorders right? idiot…

I’ll say the samething to you. Hate to break it to you but its NOT natural for a girl like Bella THorne to be that thin. a Normal Vibrant 13 year old with a healthy appitite and normal metabolism does NOT look like that. Someone with insane metabolism as you put it would not look that sickly thin. Someone with strong metabolism would actually look HEALTHY. Fit or at least NORMAL. I dont know where you thought Demi said they couldn’t be actresses. She never said that. And only an idiot with a morbid sense of vanity would see Raven as morbidly obese. She was never that fat to be considered unhealthy. Again sorry but no. a healthy 13 year old does not look like BElla Thorne or Keira Knightley. You are wrong.

honestly disney has went so down hill- same with nicklodean. They completely changed child humor, so far that most kids dont understand the joke in the first place. There making there jokes far to appropriate for the child brain, leading them to one grow up faster, ask there parents a lot more questions that they shouldn’t yet, and now eating disorders? i understand what disney was trying to do, make a joke, but clearly its not funny and they went to far. The writers found it funny because models are “suppose” to be skinny now-a-days, and i think thats what they were leading the joke more too because they chose to have there modeling career. demi didnt choose to have a eating disorder, the pressure of being skinny did. Any model could drop and quit but as big of a star as demi is, thats pretty much impossible. disney seriously needs to pick up there game because now that wizards is done with, all they have left is good luck charlie, which now that there having another baby, i dont see that going much farther. every disney show now you have to have some sort of talent, like singing, dancing, acting, name one show that doesnt have a talent…. im sorry but how can any kid exactly relate to that? not many at all. fix things disney, or you’ll loose more kids because your lack of thought into shows.

remember these shows? maybe you can get GOOD ideas from remebering these.

Lizzie Mcquire
Thats So Raven
Boy Meets World
Full House
(the first few seasons) of Hannah Montana
ex.,

the keyword is connections to the people its about, theres no connection to any of your shows what so ever.

To be honest I am jot a fan of Demi but she has a point. Disney are getting old. They now promote being stick thin. What happened to Raven? Disney is plastic now. And there is a significant lack of acting talent.

It doesnt matter when it aired. All that matters is that Disney, with or without knowing it, is promoting things like that. I doubt you can give me ONE show that has a curvy girl as the main character.

Man this political correctness crap is hitting all new levels of annoying. Now comedy writers have to worry about offending people with eating disorders.(just like that, a new class of “victim” is born) I guess it shouldn’t surprise me…since anorexia is a unique “disease” where the inflicted are encouraged to blame everyone but themselves) for their problems. Oh how EVIIIIIIIL the world is because we’re inclined to find slim more attractive than fat. The sad whining of Demi Lovato is so incredibly stupid, I wonder how she can be so damned sanctimonious about it.

Shut the fuck up. You don’t have to fucking bring black people into this.

Gossip Cop do you think you can find a clip from Shake it Up that she is referring to. I watch that show all the time with my child, she loves dancing and the characters. But I don’t remember seeing that joke.

I personally thought that there was no problem what so ever with that line. The show is a show just like any other. If it wouldve been SWAC saying it while she was there she wouldnt have said a thing. I understand people have eating disorders and its not funny but in this case it meant no harm. People do talk like that in reality, depending on who you know. My friend has an eating disorder and is super skinny. She actually is a huge LOVATIC and messaged me when she saw her tweets. She freaked out and was like “Okay that was little too far, you dont slam your old company like that in public. I dont slam my old modeling companies! Especailly publicly it was unnecessary and shouldve been done in private. Besides its an old show and its already aired a million times. No one had a problem before, I didnt and I have the biggest problems. Its a show, its fake, theyre not promoting anything. If anything that 70s show, south park, family guy, the simpsons, jersey shore, the hangover all should be banned if thats the case. But no for that its okay to go partying and almost killing yourself with drugs, and its okay to sleep around. At least thats what society is portraying, so I think if this show gets taken down for one line so should all the other shows for the entire episodes.” That was said by a girl who is super tall and thin and is going through procedures. Also no matter what any rep says no matter what demi says or disney or her mom no one really knows why she was in rehab. She couldve very well also been doing drugs and alcohol. Now dont yell at me! Im not accusing her but it is possible! And its okay i mean being in the business is hard and tough and stressful and she got help which is what matters. But anyhow i 100% am behind disney and have no problem with their shows especially if my friend doesnt. OH AND TO ALL THE LOVATICS WHO WERE BEING MEAN TO DAVIS please dont make a fool of yourselves again. That was absolutley ridiculous! I dont care what he did or said hes 9 leave him alone. Demi is against cyber bullying so why were you sending him death threats and stuff. Seriously ashamed to call myself a lovatic that night. PEACE!

Why do people always assume children watching Disney Channel are completely incompetent? The majority of people watching shows like So Random and Shake it Up are around 11-12, and I certainly knew about eating disorders then. The fact is, eating disorders are rampant among our society, and its victims are becoming younger and younger every day. Actually, most eating disordered habits begin at around that age, so Disney, a channel that parents assume is safe and friendly is joking about something as serious as anorexia.

Sex doesn’t take people’s lives. Sex isn’t a serious mental disorder. Sex doesn’t torture millions of girls and boys around the world. Sex is natural and is for pleasure. STARVING yourself is a slow and painful (physically and mentally) way of dying. And this is DISNEY channel. Disney is geared towards children, have you ever seen them make a sex related joke? A joke about teen pregnancy? A joke about homosexuality? Race? Religion? Depression? No. So why would they make a joke about anorexia, the mental disorder that KILLS more people than ANY other? It was ignorant and very immature of the writers, and the fact that Disney aired these shows in the first place was of very poor taste. I, myself, suffer from an eating disorder and when I first saw the episode of Shake it Up, it made everyone in the room extremely uncomfortable. Disney isn’t supposed to do that. Disney is supposed to be a feel good channel. It’s supposed to rear children towards becoming well-rounded young adults, not feed right into the image that society has already been engrainging into our heads.

I agree with that completely! I struggle with weight myself although my friends say I’m skinny they don’t understand not to joke about stuff like this I’m scared to be fate because my friends pick on people for it so instead I just watch them eat and not gain anythin whil I don’t eat or puke it up and nobody knows it

WOO HOO go disney!!! i love the company but hate the stars-theyre all so nasty and disgusting and cant wait to suffer in hell lol

Well I don’t watch Disney Channel anymore but what I’m getting out of this is a stereotype that says models don’t eat. This isn’t necessarily always true. Models are put on a special diet to help them maintain their image. Disney went downhill years ago, not just when Demi Lovato left. However, I’m glad she finally realized that Disney is a money-making greedy company who only seeks to make money off of naive teenage girls who really want to be famous. I believe that Disney is just a show where teens go to find quick fame. For any person who wants to take on acting you shouldn’t audition for the Disney Co, because they will try to shape you into someone you’re not and slowly turn you into plastic. It’s good that Demi was smart enough to leave unlike the other dumb ones who are still working with Disney just because they want fame. Sexualizing young girls and making them feel insecure about themselves is not worth the fame. Especially if it’s for Disney channel. I see the Disney stars get younger and younger each year and all of them look older than they actually are. Including Shake it up and that other show with the black girl. They have to be about twelve, thirteen years old and they’re already wearing makeup. That is just crazy. I miss the old Disney stars. Kayla Pratt, Hilary Duff, Raven Symone, Tia and Tamara etc. They all looked like normal people who didn’t have to change their image for their show. As time progressed Disney slowly became a teen pop music channel. It’s absurd. I wish Walt Disney was still alive then we’d be watching clasic Mickey mouse cartoons and wouldn’t have to worry about sexualizing young girls into sluts. Just look at Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Debby Ryan etc. They all look different after Disney transformed them. Disney is brainwashing little kids. I’m glad I grew up with the late 90′s and early 2000′s shows like Boy Meets World, Sister Sister, Smart Guy, Even Stevens, Don’t Look under the Bed, That’s so Raven, Lizzie McGuire, Famous Jett Jackson, Teen Witch, Suzie Q, Once upon a star, Doug, Mickey Mouse, Proud Family, PepperAnn, etc. Forget all those new lame shows on Disney Channel. Those aren’t classics.

I had a problem with it when I watched the show, ever since then I refuse to watch it.

you guys do not care for what you talk about demi or fail to speak their envejosos! demi lovato and adele are the best singers in the world okkkk! that conversation is this sharp black?? demi lovato love you and adore you “!!!!! ‘

“What are we promoting here?” the former “Sonny With A Chance” star asked on Twitter.

I definitely agree about the skinny girls bit… that’s so raven was my favourite disney show of all time and i loved Raven’s and Hilary’s beautiful curves. Now you got girls like bella thorne, zendaya and china mcclain lookin like they’re ten and on some old diet.Now stefanie scott and allie deberry have healthy sizes.Deni’s got an awesome body as well… but seriously disney itself has gottn crappy and i feel real sorry for the kids born in the 2000′s. And they should play some reruns of Raven dammit

Demi’s old show was called “Sonny with a Chance”. It was a show about the filming of “So Random”. When Demi left, they no longer had Sonny for “Sonny with a Chance”, so they just used the original skits and put them out as a new show in itself.

really, she got mad at a joke, that wasnt even funny. i love demi, but seriously, it’s just a joke. and it’s from the worst tv show ever. nothing that you should get mad over
you should feel srry for the writer’s that that is the best they came up with

She’s right.
