The fact that demi was sexually assaulted on set at the age of 15 and everybody knew and nobody did to help them is disgusting

I remember being jealous of child Hollywood stars when I was younger, I used to think their lives were so perfect. Now after hearing all these traumatic stories, I’m glad I was never a child star because they would’ve messed me up as well. It’s sucks that they had to go through this. I am hoping they can heal from the trauma they went through.

I think that Disney fell out of popularity with kids because more and more platforms like youtube offer content for kids (that is just as high-quality as Disney shows) that cater to specific hobbies or interests of an audience, thus making tv shows with a larger target audience seem less tailored/enjoyable for a viewer, since it is made on a broader scale.

Miley was not only underpaid, but extremely overworked. She was filming, doing press tours, concert tours, etc. She even said in an interview about how shocked she was when she saw her own schedule from that time.

I feel like there should be a strict federal law to protect children in entertainment. In Jennette McCurdy's book, I'm pretty sure she said they would film in Florida because, at the time, Florida's laws on child labor wasn't as strict compared to other states.

The newer Disney shows/movies are so cheesy and cringe and the humour feels like they’re undermining the intelligence of their viewers. Why are the teens on their shows acting like they’re 7? Kim Possible was a teen girl that acted her age and she’s an animated character. Kids are smarter than we think and deserve better content. What the hell is a Bizaardvark?😭

I'll be waiting for the video on Vanessa Hudgens. They treated her so horribly, and all the while she had to plaster a smile on her face during interviews and even award shows when they'd make fun of her. Smh.

I think influencers and social media has replaced actors and TV as a major means of entertainment. Also, like you said, the abuse scandals have destroyed the prestige and appeal of Hollywood in general. I’m happy about it, tbh. 🤷‍♀️

IMO I think the downfall to the Disney channel is because the big stars and the audience all grew up. I’m 27. The generation after me were raised on watching KZfaq, podcasts, or subscribing to Disney+ where a lot of the original shows are archived. My generation watched Disney channel because it was pre-internet, so no other streaming platforms were available yet. There are so many aspects to Disney’s downfall. Great job! 👏🏻

I think a deep dive on different Disney channel stars would definitely be an interesting watch!!

It's so sad and tragic How so many Child stars Had to go through that😢😓😓

streaming definitely took over. not saying it’s every kid but my 11 year old brother watches disney+ and streams all the shows i used to watch more than the shows that are on currently on disney channel.

Miley, Selena, and Demi carried Disney Channel during the last good years in their backs after Raven and Hilary. Raven, Christy, and Hilary owned Disney Channel during the early 2000s.

The fact that you said “ If you’re unaware of who is Demi Lovato “ makes me a bit sad because she was huge back in my day. She was the third of the holy trinity of Disney stars next to Miley & Selena but now after all of her problematic ways & comments she’s a fad sadly.

Demi Disney experience literally sounds damn near parallel to Judy garland child acting experience both basically driven to addiction by there companies both restricted eating because they needed to look a certain way by a manager or somebody both over worked

I think the biggest factor is just that cable isn't really a thing anymore. Disney plus is a thing and I watch older cartoons on there, but it's just so oversaturated now. So many options of things to watch, so I don't think there will ever be Disney shows again with such a following

It's so crazy how Miley was arguably their biggest star and even brought the network the most money and yet she was the most underpaid.

Streaming platform popularity took over.

I think another reason why Disney went downhill is because we (the audience) are growing up along with the stars as well

Seeing what happened to Miley, Demi, Vanessa, etc, there seems to be no ethical way we can have "teen idols". They're almost always heavily controlled and surveillanced because they have a young audience.

To anyone who has a eating disorder And to anyone who has Body dysmorphia You are beautiful and strong the way you are You can get through this cuz There are people out there Who loves you and who understands you And we'll be there for you I hope my words Help 😔🤧

I think it's mainly the adultification of teens, they are interested in more adult stuff like makeup, dating, etc, due to social media, Netflix etc, and they don't want to watch teens doing kids stuff because it's not relatable to them....

The things they were forced to do are cruel, especially at such a young age. It comes as no surprise that Demi went through so much mentally.

Our shows were actually better though. They taught morals & values , used actual humor & not just shock value or stupidity

"That turned into spiraling adults that we now judge" well said . This is very groundbreaking work and topics. Keep it up definitely a must see vid for all to see

When I was younger, I always dreamt about being part of a show regardless if it was on Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, but now that I am older and researching and learning about how a lot of these childhood celebrities like Selena, Miley, and Jeanette were being abused by the adult crew and even their parents and that no one did anything about it and that the studios tried so hard to cover it up us really sad and heartbreaking knowing that these child actors not just from Disney, but in the entire entertainment industry had to deal with so much trauma is saddening.

Selena was always my fave but it’s so sad what she an a lot of the other Disney stars had to go through especially Demi like I can’t imagine being SA on set n telling an adult n them basically not caring n still letting the guy that attacked her work w her everyday like that’s disgusting

Demi has been through so much! Her former manager sounds awful! That obsession in the 2000s with being thin is so toxic.

if ANYBODY wants their children involved with disney or really any tv/movie then PLEASE!!!! GET A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER!!! lawyers have a bad rep but they are helpful. have them write in the contract that your child cannot go anywhere or do anything without your consent. if they dont agree then walk away.

I think as far as Miley, Billy also made her life weird. It’s creepy he posed nude with his own daughter so it makes you wonder what all that child went through. Also billy knew the Hollywood world what was his excuse? he was famous for awhile before Hannah Montana.

I want to here from the experiences of Kyla Pratt (Proud Family) & Tahj Mowry (Kim Possible) They both were solidified child actors way before coming to Disney (Kyla on One on One & Tahj on Smart Guy). Did they have to work long hours and were they use to it. Did they have negative experiences or did their parents prevent it?

Here's the big reasons why: 1. They let the internet takeover, and they had to play catch-up in order to stay relevant with kids 2. They took away the small stuff that made the channel special 3. They constantly made cookie cutter copy & paste tv shows and DCOMs. They lost their magic with creating new and original series and DCOMs 4. They stopped showing movies at 8/7 central 😜 5. Overall Disney just stopped caring about the channel and Disney+ made it worse

I'm a millennial, so I might be biased but I think a big part of the reason the shows we grew up on worked is because they weren't afraid to talk about real issues. I mean That's So Raven had episodes about racism, body dysmorphia, etc. Lizzie McGuire talked about eating disorders and bullying. Granted I haven't seen a lot of the new shows because I mostly stopped watching when Wizards of Waverly Place got cancelled. I'm wondering if this would bring back the newer generations since they are being made to grow up so quickly?Just my two cents 😀

I know they keep saying 40th anniversary but Disney channel didn’t really take off as the Disney Channel we know today until the late 90’s so technically it’s like 25years

Along with the increase in streaming/ social media, and decreasing cable viewers, a lot of the Disney shows now are childish. Shows now on the network do not address more serious issues that were tackled during the Disney golden age. I feel like current Disney shows talk down to children and doubt how smart or what they know about the world as opposed to older shows

Whenever people say that Demi is this or that I feel like I can understand why they might say that but they're missing the point still. This person went through so much things it's so cruel.

Idk if it’s just me but I noticed now that I’m older that Disney basically made Miley Cyrus Hannah character Hillary duff like think about it Hillary aged out of Disney by that time and she made them a lot of money next to raven of course so it’s like oh we lost a actress who aged out why not just basically make a character that looks like that actress and make money off her but with a new audience

Coming from someone who was in elementary school when Henry danger first came out, it was actually pretty popular show but I think that’s due to the storyline and actors. Nicky Ricky dicky and dawn’s overall plot wasn’t as interesting now it had a lil hype in the beginning bc it was a new show about quadruplets but it wasn’t as entertaining. Henry danger was one of the few shows me and my peers would get excited to see and I would actually wait around for 8pm when nick said a new episode would come on for the first time or an hour long special. I feel as though it kept its popularity almost the whole series but it lost all hype when they made the spin off version that no one really paid attention too after they had Henry danger’s season finale. But I do agree the animated tv shows would probably do better for the future of kid channels. But also the cost of cable no one wants to pay for anymore for shows and movies you can’t control when they come on which is why site like netflix Hulu Amazon prime and more do better especially because some of those site actually carry those nick and Disney shows on them already.

social media was a big change for kids too. it told them the new trends, celebrities, fame.

The fact that I see ads on KZfaq hiring for disney😬🥺

Disney Channel has been putting out a lot of really great animated content lately. Kiff is their newest cartoon and is fantastic. Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Hamster and Gretel, Ghost and Molly McGee, and Big City Greens are other cartoons Disney Channel is currently airing, and all are great.

I agree with everything that you said because of that content so many people would deeply think about what their childhood and teen years were once like especially about who they looked up to.

I would love a deep dive on Nickelodeon !!

I think a reason why a lot of these stars were abused and overworked is also because of negligent parenting. Abuse can happen anywhere, but I feel like a lot of the Disney parents were just unaware/ too trusting of other adults on set and unfortunately it led to them being taken advantage of

I’m so happy I was watching Disney channel when it was still good. I’m really sad the things that happened to all the actors it almost makes me feel bad I enjoyed and watched the shows.

i’m 14 and i did grow up with watching best friends whenever or ravens home but since I have a 23 year old sister I love watching older Disney shows and movies like I can literally quote HSM, camp rock, princess protection program you name it. In seventh grade I loved demi lovato and their music and I watched Demi’s documentaries and I was so shocked about how Disney mistreated them and all of the other stars. Not even just Disney but Nick too (especially with Dan Schneider) I can’t believe they got away with it :(

That’s not true about Her dad not knowing how Hollywood worked . Billy Ray has been in Hollywood since the 90s I believe even 80s . He was just a one hit wonder at the time .

I’m always so excited when you post ! 😊 Great video , you always keep my interest .

I feel like Disney Channel has the potential with animation as well! I kind of grew up in that limbo of disney channel from late 2000s-2021 (my sister is younger than me so I technically kept up with it longer than I should have lol). Honestly she likes the 2000s shows of that time as well but its not to say that 2010s shows weren't that bad either. I really recommend watching secrets of sulphur springs, its one of those shows that bring back the old disney in a way (also original I think)! I think Sydney to the Max was trying to be similar to Lizzie Mcguire (an okay show tbh).

I’m the same age as Miley, and I can’t imagine having my teenage years plastered all over the place for the world to see and judge. Hell, even well into my early twenties…. All of that was hard enough without the entire planet’s opinions of you all over magazines

Girl you are sooooo pretty 💛

Demi’s story makes me cry🤍😭 I really loved her on Disney and Disney was my favorite channel 😭 but wow I didn’t know they were evil like this 😭

Why tf would they make a live action lilo and stitch? Who’s stupid idea was that!!!

Disney & Nick fell off for 3 reasons. 1. They don’t try anymore 2. Social Media has influenced kids so badly to the point where 13 years old is the new 21 3. Like she said…KZfaq

you should be a news anchor 😭 such a great voice

Sister Sister is the first show I saw on Disney !! ❤ early 2000's there was always a good show or a good movie on but it died😂

If Disney is going to continue to do reboots then they need to bring back gravity falls. That show was too good and the lore behind it *chefs kiss*

This one isn't rocket science, cable is a dying medium and kids don't watch cable. Viewership is down because cable is dead. Pretty simple, didn't need 20 min video lol but you did a Great job!

Good afternoon: IMO downfall of Disney channel is because they Miley was underpaid, the diversity, shadyness of the Disney Industry, manipulative things they did, pressure they put on the kids about their image & acting. Now these childstars are literally calling Disney out. I'm so glad cuz sounds like these stars went through hell & more. These child actors were basically abused verbally & physically. Demi was throwing up some damn blood. That's serious. How sick do you gotta be..?? I understand Disney wanted to be a great kids channel but damn this is crazy. Disney sounds like one of the worse place to be..!! That's so true kids rather watch teen adult shows than watch Disney. I personally, believe they ran outta ideas. That's probably why they are coming out with same/similar movies & shows.

" I'm Jake Paul from Bizaardvark and you're watching Disney Channel " ...crazy times

so trueee 100% you explained it perfectlly!

20:12 Thank you! I have been saying it all year! No more reboots!!!

there’s a new Disney show called Saturday’s & I actually like it, it’s geared more towards black families but it’s one of the lowest viewed :(

I agree with so much of what you said! NO MORE REBOOTS!

They don't air any of their news show on the actual channel which they seem to forget not everyone uses streaming. And no longer air any reruns of beloved movies and tv show. Also the channel is not available anymore in basic cabel services you have to pay for it.

Just found your channel in my recommendations. I like your voice, the research seems very well done and it took me down a trip through memory lane as a 90s baby haha

At the end of it all. All I can think about it WHERE ARE THE PARENTS!!!! Idc how old my child is in Hollywood I would be by their side because none of that would be happening if I’m around.

Demi actually goes by she/they Now so you’re good. These teens were my idols when I was younger. I wanted to BE them. I hated going to school learning math everyday. I wanted to famous and make Money. I was shocked when Billy Cyrus said Hannah Montana ruined his family. I know Miley Got into various scandals at a young age so eventually she was known as someone that Does bad things even among kids and I know for me, she fell from grace and I was displeased with her behavior but I didn’t realize how she was being exploited bc Disney was all sparkles and rainbows. And usually the side characters are the ones underpaid so I was also shocked that she and her dad were taken advantage of due to their inexperience because like her dad was a rockstar. When you’re young you don’t think about this stuff. Even for Demi and Selena I knew they had struggles but I thought is was bc of their own personal life not being in the spotlight on Disney. I didn’t know how abusive it was. No wonder Disney and Nick are getting boycotted now. I will say I’m glad Disney Peaked later than Nick did.

Love your videos so much 🥰

From 1997 till about 2004 Disney channel was everything!!!!! That’s from us 80s/early90s babies

Such a great video as always😊. I alway look forward to when you upload 😎

omg, I was such a Hannah Montana girl, it was probably one of my first big fandom obsessions. I still listen to Best of both worlds to this day. But, to the actual point of this comment> In addition to what you've mentioned in the video, I think one of Disney's major problems is their refusal to grow and be more inclusive, especially in regards to LGBTQ+ themes. So many showrunners have come out and talked about their struggles to include a queer character, scenes are being cut out, etc. Societies change and people nowadays just do not blindly consume everything they are offered, but Disney doesn't seem to have gotten the message yet.

Awww We love you Toni ❤

I'd say the Villains of Valley View (which came out last year) gives me vibes of old Disney Channel a bit. Reminds me a bit of Wizards of Waverly Place, Lab Rats, Mighty Med, and the Thundermans (though that was Nickelodeon). And even shows in 2010-2016 were good like Good Luck Charlie, Shake it Up, Austin & Ally, ANT Farm, Jessie, parts of Bizaardvark (some of it reminded me of Sonny with a Chance), some of Sydney to the Max, Girl Meets World, Liv & Maddie, and Best Friends Whenever. The original movies from 2004-2019 were the best, though after Descendants 3, not much came on that was of interest.

Just here to say I love your videos ❤

I love your channel and what you have to share about things going on in the world. I just finished the Depp v. Herd on Netflix and I was trying to look through your videos to see if you spoke about this? Couldn’t find it, if you did I’d love to see it. If not, would you ever do one? ❤

Thanks for your hard work! Looking forward to your video on nickelodeon

I love your videos !🫶🏼

Omg Demi talking about OceanUP, such a throwback! 😂

The reason why they don't do original content anymore is because the content is not bringing in the teens. In the past, Disney has had shows that attracted the teen audiences (like The Cheetah Girls and Boy Meets World). Their new content is not doing that. That's why their bringing bakc reboots. Apart from people wanting these reboots (there was a huge outcry for them on social media), they believe it will bring back the teen audience that they lost.

I hope disney goes out of business, and the fact they keep doing remakes isnt creative

I think some parents are to blame as well for allowing their children to be present in such unhealthy environments without their supervision. This is also why some kid stars from the 90’s and early 2000’s left the spotlight because their parents noticed how bad it could be for kids in the industry. I see a lot of similarities now between influencer kids and child stars now. Parents nowadays have cameras in their kids faces 24/7 for content. I wonder how this will affect them in the long run.

Admittedly I’m a teenager, but I grew up until like 10 maybe on cable and not streaming. I have much know how to guide through channels I’ve memorized my favorite channels and when they played when I was really young, and it’s sad I’ve met friends of mine who don’t know how to use anything that isn’t streaming-

Disney, Nick & Cartoon Network all fell off it’s sad to see your childhood disappear in a way.

Ok, I NEED to know... Are there ANY teens, pre-teens, or younger kids looking at these videos!? Do any of them know about these interviews? I don't want to discourage them from Acting, but being aware of and preparing for these types of horrific experiences and exploitation can go a long way!

What are labour rights for child/teen agers in the US? A 12 yo working on set, tour and concert sounds pretty illegal to me.

I didn't have cable TV until I was an adult, but I found some shows on the Disney Channel that I liked, when they still had some good sitcoms. Shows like "Good Luck Charlie," "Austin and Ally" "Liv and Maddie" "Jessie" and my favorite, "Raven's Home" were shows that I found enjoyable as an adult viewer. However, the Disney Channel is a sad shell of its former self right now. All the good sitcoms are gone from the DC, and what's left is mostly shows for little kids and the occasional movies and holiday specials. All the good stuff has moved to Disney Plus, and if you don't have Disney Plus, you miss out on a LOT of shows! Also, I find what happened to Demi Lovato to be pretty sad -- getting sexually assaulted by someone that she had to work with, day in and day out, and he never got in trouble for it? And being literally barricaded in a hotel room -- sounds like a major fire hazard to me. I would have been having major anxiety fits if I was in such a situation! Sounds like the working lives of these teen stars wasn't as great as it appears to be on the surface. And then with Disney movies, there seems to have been a sad lack of creativity and originality in recent years, with most of the new things they've put out being mostly prequels, sequels, spin-offs and remakes of perfectly good animated films that did NOT need to be remade! The Disney of my childhood was magical, even considering that I grew up in the 1980s, when Disney was in kind of a lull with animation. The Disney of today, sadly, not so much!

In Miley’s case her dad was literally on set with her. I just wonder how he let some of that stuff happen.

I admit I haven't watched Disney Channel in a while but man I miss when they would air Disney Channel original Movies, and I just don't mean HMS I mean movie like My babysitter is a Vampire, Princess Protection Program, Let it Shine, Girl Vs Monster. What happened to those beautiful movies 😭. They do have occasionally classics on My On Demand but I miss them airing it. Same with Disney Movies. I remember when that was how I was able to watch Tangled, Princess and the Frog, Brave, now everything is streamed or only in theaters.

Part of why it's doing so bad. Is it's getting rid of to fast and soon the few TV shows that did do very well people cared about

I used to wanna dress like Hannah Montana SO BAD. lmao.

Gurl your content is great. This channel reminds me of Naomi Canibol channel. Yall be having some great topics. Could you do Disney vs Zendaya..!! About the diversity or Raven Symone and her gender problem with Disney. Great video. Keep em coming..!! Have a wonderful day..!!

This may sound bad but I also feel like the type of people they cast for Disney now are like lol not even exciting to look at. Super basic. Not funny, dressed weird to be “trendy” & the shows literally make no sense. It could also be because I’m 30 now & grew up with such a different Disney. But when I watch with younger kids I just be like “this is weird, it’s forced, turn this off”

I’d love for you to do a video about Rowan Blanchard. I went to a very left wing college and every SJW I met there is still fighting for social equality to this day. And when a child star gives a speech about gender equality in the frikin UNITED NATIONS BUILDING and then ends up giving all that up to post controversial photos of herself and social media (not to mention the rumors of possible substance abuse.) you know some serious shit went down while she was at Disney!

I had 2 kids in the peak of icarly wizards of waverly and Sam and cat ect. Even though I was a grown adult I really enjoyed watching those shows with my kids. Those were just good funny tv shows and no matter how hard they try it will not be able to be replicated.

These tween sitcoms, this is not what I want to think of Disney. I only want to remember then for their timeless animations.

Not me watching this video while I’m watching Disney Channel and big city green is on😂

Just like the 3LW video, dropped everything I was doing to watch this

saturdays on disney + is sooo good
