In the revealing new documentary "Child Star," Demi Lovato candidly discusses her regretful behaviour on the set of the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.

In a heartfelt conversation with co-star Alyson Stoner, Lovato acknowledges a shift in her attitude between the first and second films, attributing it to her burgeoning music career and the resulting "power dynamic."  

Lovato admits that she felt a sense of validation after her career took off, but it came at the cost of genuine connections. Stoner recalls feeling distant and sensing a "fear of a blow-up" around Lovato during filming.  

Lovato takes accountability for her actions, expressing remorse for any stress or hurt feelings she caused. She attributes her memory lapses about the time period to dissociation, a common experience among child stars dealing with intense pressure and scrutiny.   

The documentary "Child Star," co-directed by Lovato, sheds light on the challenges and complexities of navigating fame at a young age. Lovato's candid reflection on her past behavior highlights the importance of self-awareness and growth, even in the face of difficult experiences.
