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.
The official PR account for Disney Channel tweeted at Lovato, “We hear you & are pulling both episodes as quickly as possible & reevaluating them.”
Disney added, “It’s NEVER our intention to make light of eating disorders!”
Lovato famously left her hit Disney show “Sonny With a Chance” to deal with an eating disorder and other serious problems.
She’s since been vocal about the body image issues plaguing young women.
What do you think about Disney’s response to Lovato’s outrage?
