In a virtual reunion with castmembers of her former Disney Channel original series "Sonny With a Chance", singer-actor Demi Lovato discussed how she felt overworked in her early career and struggled with an eating disorder.
In a chat with the show's former stars Tiffany Thornton, Allisyn Ashley Arm, Doug Brochu, Sterling Knight, Audrey Whitby, Matthew Scott Montgomery, Shayne Topp and Damien Haas, Lovato opened up about the tough early years of her career where she felt like leaving it all behind.
Lovato said while working on "Sonny With a Chance", she would always be covered in a blanket in her dressing room despite the temperature inside being set to over 98 degrees, said the Hollywood Reporter.
"I would have people over for meetings on my lunch breaks, because that's how much I worked. People would come in and I'd be covered in a blanket on the couch and people would say, 'Why is it 80 degrees in here?' I would be like, 'Because I'm freezing.' They would be like, 'Oh, my God, what's wrong with you?'"
"I probably was happier in my head with whatever I looked like at the time. But I'm so much happier now with the mentality that you have. I look back and it and I'm like, 'Man, it's a shame that we wasted any energy on what we wore on set.'"
