Demi Lovato Criticises Disney for Making Fun of 'Eating Disorder'

The former Disney star tweeted, "I could just eat you up, well if I ate - Disney Chanel's Shake It Up.... What are we promoting here? #notfunnyATALL." Demi Lovato Criticises Disney for Making Fun of 'Eating Disorder'

Demi Lovato has been disturbed a great deal by the Disney show 'Shake it Up.'

The 19-year old crooner apparently heard a joke on the comedy show that didn't go down well with her and she logged in to her Twitter account to register her outburst and vent her frustration.

Lovato wrote, "I could just eat you up, well if I ate" - Disney Chanel's Shake It Up.... What are we promoting here? #notfunnyATALL."

Nope, that wasn't it.

She continued, "I find it really funny how a company can lose one of their actress' from the pressures of an EATING DISORDER and yet still make joke about that very disease...#nice. And is it just me or are the actress' getting THINNER AND THINNER.... I miss the days of RAVEN, and LIZZIE MCGUIRE. Dear Disney Channel, EATING DISORDERS ARE NOT SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT."

Disney's PR team took swift notice of Lovato's tirade and they replied, "@ddlovato - we hear you & are pulling both episodes as quickly as possible & reevaluating them. It's NEVER our intention to make light of eating disorders!"

She quickly thanked Disney for their quick reply and then continued her explanation of her point.

"Just clearing things up, I have nothing against any specific actress/actor or tv show.. Nor do I think there's anything wrong with girls who aren't curvy, I just was stating a fact that there needs to be more variety on television so young girls growing up don't feel pressured to look one specific way. Tall, thin, curvy, short, whatever you are, you are beautiful. :)," the Skyscraper singer added.
