Demi Lovato is continuing to reflect on her early days in the spotlight all these years later.
Following her 2024 documentary Child Star, the Grammy nominee, 33, just opened up to fellow actress and pal Keke Palmer about the difficult times she faced while performing on Disney shows and more at a young age — and how they made things "challenging" for her co-stars and those around her.
“I had to make amends to a lot of people, saying, like, 'I’m sorry. I was so challenging to work with at the time. I was so miserable in my own skin and dealing with what I was going through, that I wasn’t the nicest person to work with at the time,'" she said on the Tuesday, March 3 episode of the Baby, This is Keke Palmer podcast. "And I think that chapter of my life where I was being really reflective of everything and, like, I wanted to make sure I wanted to right my wrongs."
The "Sorry Not Sorry" singer continued, "I was 16, 17, like, I don’t know, I just wasn’t always the nicest — because what happened was, when people would come on set and they’d say, 'Good morning, Demi. How are you?' In my head, I would literally think, 'You don’t care about me. You don’t really care how I’m doing.'"

Meanwhile, Lovato is about to kick off her It’s Not That Deep Tour in just a matter of weeks — but there was a point in time that she never thought she’d be on the road again.
The Camp Rock actress recently admitted that she had a change of heart about touring after telling The Hollywood Reporterin 2024 that fans would probably not see her on the road again. Last month, Lovato said that any hardships touring brings are worth it to make the connection with her fans.
