17 Child Actors Who Ruined Their Lives

#17 Demi Lovato

At the age of just seven, Lovato was cast alongside Selena Gomez in ’’Barney and Friends’’.

Already a TV star and singing sensation, she released her debut album, ’’Don’t Forget’’, and went on tour with The Jonas Brothers and that’s when she started using cocaine.

When realized she had a big problem, Lovato went into rehab in 2010.

She was treated for bulimia, self-mutilation, alcohol abuse and drugs.

Diagnosed as bipolar during her rehab stint, she detailed her experiences in her 2013 autobiography, ’’Staying Strong’’.
