Alison Stoner, former Disney Channel star, in her new book Moving Forward: A Journey to the Heart shares her experiences working with Demi Lovato and the challenges of child stardom. Stoner, who identifies herself as a non-binary person, recounts the pressure she felt during their joint work on the films Camp Rock.

In her book, Stoner mentions that throughout the years, she felt "cursed" by the "control" Lovato had. They faced criticism from fans that created additional stress. Stoner notes that during the tour with Jonas Brothers in 2010, the team was forced to adapt to unprecedented changes in Lovato's behavior.

Alison also reveals that she received backlash from Lovato's fans, while the media often focused on their relationships. They felt that their individuality was overshadowed, and the media created an image that did not reflect their true selves.

After 14 years of silence, Stoner reunited with Lovato in the documentary Child Star, where both stars discussed the challenges of child stardom. Lovato admitted that before Stoner, it was easier for her to understand one another.

Today, Stoner is engaged in advocacy in the field of mental health and calls for reform in the entertainment industry. They want young artists to have the opportunity to grow in a healthy environment.
