The singer and actress, who found fame as a result of Disney's "Camp Rock" movies and the sitcom "Sonny With a Chance," addresses rumors that she snorted cocaine.
"It's something I don't really want to talk about. What I can say is that I was depressed. I would come off stage in front of 18,000 people and suddenly be alone in a hotel room. I'd come crashing down and would try to find a way to recreate that feeling, to stay 'up.' Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs," she says.
Pre-fame, Lovato reveals that school bullies led her to make herself sick. "They called me a whore and told me I was fat and ugly. I shouldn't have listened, but I took it to heart and it hurt. I thought maybe I didn't have friends because I was too fat," she says, adding, "I'd make myself sick up to six times a day."
She also dealt with serious self-harm issues. "It started with my wrists. People saw that, so I cut in places they couldn't see," she says.
Today, Lovato says she no longer drinks, but admits that she has self-harmed and made herself throw up since leaving rehab. "I've slipped up a few times, but each time I have learned from it, and it's become further apart," she confesses. From Lovato to Lindsay Lohan to Britney Spears, click through our slideshow and let us know: Who is the most troubled ex-Disney star?

Not Demi, though
I adore demii who can share all of her trouble with people n give inspiration to be staystrong,

she's just a pothead
Britney on the other hand has really tried to come back from her bad moments, she's managed to take care of her kids, maintain her figure, and give out great performances. Most of these troubled ex-Disney stars have made the best of the resources given to them to further their careers and make the best of the future...One can only get so many second chances.
Something tells me Lindsey is done for soon.
Funicello announced in 1992 that she suffers from multiple sclerosis.[9] She had kept her condition a secret for many years, but felt it necessary to go public to combat rumors that her impaired ability to walk was the result of alcoholism. That same year, she was inducted as a Disney Legend.[10] In 1993, she opened the Annette Funicello Fund for Neurological Disorders at the California Community Foundation.
Miley Cyrus seems to cause all her problems intentionally as the things she gets attention over seem orchestrated so that it is purposeful which she is more deserving of scorn than the rest for doing.
But isn't it amazing how so many Disney stars lead troubled lives after leaving Disney or even while still employed by them... must be something in the water at Disneyland.
what happend to her?..
