Demi Lovato Disney Channel Shake It Up

December 24th, 2011

The Disney Channel is pulling two episodes of “Shake It Up” after Demi Lovato called them out for joking about eating disorders.

As Gossip Cop reported, Lovato was furious with her former employer for airing material that seemed to make light of the issue, quoting a character as saying, “I could just eat you up… well, if I ate.”

“Dear Disney Channel, EATING DISORDERS ARE NOT SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT,” tweeted the singer-actress.

Now Disney is taking action.

“Shake It Up,” a new series starring Bella Thorne, premiered last night as the Disney Channel’s top Sunday series debut ever.

But with “Hannah” star Miley Cyrus winding down her TV hit (and about to turn 18 years old), attention has turned to 13-year-old Thorne as the Disney machine’s heiress apparent.
