Fans of a former Disney channel star are horrified by Disney’s latest actions.
It’s no secret that the Walt Disney Company has a rocky relationship with some of its previous child stars. Disney stars have notoriously acted out and engaged in some dangerous behavior. This phenomenon is known as the “Disney Curse,” and it is a reputation that Disney does not want to have for itself. It seems that Disney is continuing to try and suppress the press coverage of their former Disney stars whose image does not align with the Company’s wholesome values. Now, fans are rioting against Disney’s erasure of an iconic Disney star.
