Unnamed source has very unflattering things to say about other Disney stars

Speculation about how Disney stars behave when the cameras and the tabloid reporters are not around to see has been making the rounds ever since we can remember. Until now, few insiders agreed to go on the record with what they knew, but one Disney star is now speaking out.

However, she too does it under the cover of anonymity, perhaps not wanting to risk her future in the industry.

On a thread on reddit's IAmA community, discovered by Oh No They Didn't, the unnamed insider dishes all the dirt on huge names like Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and other Disney stars the younger fans might be very familiar with.

For starters, says the spy, Demi's cocaine addiction was one of the worst secrets in the Disney universe.

Back when she had issues, meaning, before she went to rehab, Demi was obnoxious, mean and quite the diva. She is still so to this day to some extent.

What's worse, the insider reveals, is that everyone knew about Demi's destructive ways but no one did anything about it because admitting to it publicly would have meant a financial loss they did not want.

“The adults in charge knew, but didn't want to do anything about it because she was so overscheduled (Camp Rock, Sonny with a Chance, her music career, all the extraneous junk she was obligated to do), so they let her do essentially anything she wanted and kept the press away by distracting them with Miley's 'scandals' (which were all pretty tame compared to what Demi was doing, honestly),” says the spy.

Even Demi's mother knew what was going on but chose not to intervene.

“Demi was her cash cow and she wasn't going to screw that up. That mom is as bad as Dina Lohan - constantly texting, ignoring her kids, selling Demi's relationship gossip to blogs in order to make some quick cash,” says the spy.

Speaking of Miley, the insider vouches she's not half as bad as the tabloids make her appear. She likes to drink occasionally and is now a smoker, but she never did heavy drugs: just pot every now and then.

Justin, on the other hand, is an insufferable diva. He became way too famous way too young, and it's taken a nasty toll on his personality, the unnamed source says.

Selena Gomez, his girlfriend, is very nice, probably one of the few Disney stars to be so nice. She's very tiny (thin) and she's quite unapproachable, but the spy can't think of an evil thing to say about her.

At the end of the day, though, it's clear that Disney is exploiting these young girls and boys for profit, the tipster concludes.

“Some are [exploited]. Some aren't. There are certainly big issues with the way Disney treats their kids. There are 'morality clauses' in their contracts that basically outline that they have to maintain an outward appearance of general purity and weird asexuality, and then dress them up in little miniskirts and send them into parties where everyone's drinking. It's kind of disgusting,” says the insider.
