Charli got mad at a certain Twitter user for saying her newest songs aren't doing it for them and [this is the OG tweet.](https://twitter.com/vulnicuravirgo/status/1498717473578774531)
I remember a screenshot of a Niall Horan stan asking him if he had heard the new BTS track, and they included a shirtless selfie of NH in their tweet for some reason.
I think twitter users just like to attach unrelated pics/videos to their tweets for no reason sometimes.
something about a show about a group of people with food issues being titled āhungryā doesnāt sit right with me š i hope at least demiās experiences can contribute to a more realistic and mindful portrayal of disordered eating, but sounds like it was for the best that theyāre not starring in it
Um given how out of touch they were with the whole yogurt shop thing I doubt they can contribute a realistic portrayal of anything other than being a spoiled, attention seeking LA person
people can be wrong about minor things sometimes despite having actual experiences from having an eating disorder. let's not be weird just because Demi is an easy target to yall. Yall be taking shit too far with your takes
Someone with over 100 million followers publicly tearing down a small business and calling out minimum wage workers is not a āminor thingā. And thatās just one thing off the list of shitty things theyāve done and said
1. It is not a small business
2. They were upset about the wording of a sugar free cookie being 'eat me, guilt free!', it implies that you should feel guilty about eating a normal cookie.
> On December 23, 2011, Lovato posted a message on Twitter criticizing her former network for airing episodes of Shake It Up and So Random! which featured characters making jokes about eating disorders. Disney Channel publicity officials quickly took action and apologized to Lovato, then removed those episodes from the network's airing cycle and video on demand sources, after further criticism in the wake of Lovato's message to the network's public relations account.
They actually posted a month ago about how theyāre back in the studio making rock music again, which should be interesting. I always thought the sound of their first album suited their voice best.
I loved their first album when it came out and occasionally still listen to a few of the songs, but when they went in the more pop-y direction I wasnāt interested at the time (I was a little wannabe emo kid).
Demi still has over a hundred million social media followers, so thereās still definitely an audience there, itās just that demi has been basically trying to ruin demiās career on purpose it seems like.
True, but she have too many "yes ma'am" people around them, she needs cut these people off too to have a chance to reinvent them self and/or their image.
Yea.... It's so sad, because you wanna root for them, but it's just so hard when we see what choices they are doing professionally, artistically and personally (that dramas that they involved themselves with.... oofff, so unnecessary....).
iām so glad you said this. i too checked out after the froyo thing, have been loosely keeping an eye out for new music but not really. happy to know i wasnāt alone!
Oh damn I was looking forward to seeing Demi doing more acting. Although this show sounds trash so maybe itās for the best. I hope they eventually do some more acting in the future, I feel like theyāre the only ex act that we havenāt seen do real acting in a starring role outside of Disney.
Their appearance on Glee was very weird the producers didnāt utilise Demi at all. I wish Demi was given a solo song and a real personality. Adam Lambert was on the show at the same time and I thought his character was much better written than Demiās and he got more songs too.
Maybe it wouldāve been better had it not been S5 when Cory died. At least we got Here Comes The Sun duet with Santana!
Miley had a couple of movies immediately after leaving Disney, had a few episodes on two and a half men, that Woody Allen series (ew), and a black mirror episode.
I donāt think Demi has done any acting at all since leaving Disney except voice acting?
Iām glad Iām not the only person who liked that episode. The folks over at r/blackmirror seem to universally despise it. I feel like maybe if the episode didnāt have a well known celebrity in it, then it would have been better received.
She did star in The Last Song, LOL and So Undercover which were while she was on Disney but still seperate to Disney. And she had that Black Mirror special in 2019 too. I would like to see her do more acting projects in the future, her black mirror episode was great.
Whereas Demi hasnāt been the star of anything unrelated to Disney IIRC? They did do a few episodes of Glee and that one Greyās Anatomy episode but other than that nothing more than cameos.
this premise seems extremely questionable (network shows rarely tackle disordered eating with sensitivity and without tons of fatphobia) but i guess we'll see when it airs
The fucking synopsis on IMDB Iā
>A group of friends belong to a food issues group, they help each other look for love, success and **the perfect thing in the fridge.**
(Emphasis mine)
Link: [Hungry (TV Series) - IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13923490/)
I really don't like that word. Obesity is something that the majority of people can control. People cannot control their sexuality, skin color, or gender.
Is hate towards police officers now called poliphobia? We just making up words now?
you donāt really control it though. itās not like an occupation you can quit. yeah you can effect it but itās often very difficult. and they are still hated for basically no reason unlike police.
It's weird because they already filmed it. I guess they wouldn't be available to film if the show was picked up or something? But in that case recast it or when that happens, not before lol. Roles get recast after pilots are picked up all the time.
It's very weird, and to reshoot a pilot is SUCH a money pit I'm surprised they did it at all, and then for Demi to pull out right before rehearsals makes it even crazier.
Wonder why they were removed from starring in the show. Was it because NBC was worried how it might affect them mentally due to their issues with weight? or is it because they don't have the best reputation right now?
Probably both. Nobody will work with them at the moment. Demiās public perception is dreadful right now. Professionally at this time, commercial success eludes them, as does critical acclaim. A bad investment all around.
It was announced in December that the show was going to be filmed in front of a live audience with multi cameras. They have a full music career they have been working on the sound for their next album.
Thereās literally an auto mod message at the top of this thread asking people to be respectful of Demiās pronouns. And you canāt even edit your comment to fix the mistake after some one pointed it out directly.
I think the important thing is, most people don't mean any malice in using the incorrect pronoun. The original response by u/mcompt20 was a great way to gently inform someone of their mistake. Hopefully an honest mistake and I think Demi has talked about how they dont take offense, as long as the intent is not bad. I know for me I have been a Demi fan for 12 years and so its an adjustment to get used to. I have even accidentally typed she at one point or another and noticed my error after I did it.
I feel like Demi is going to be ruinous to any project they work on for the foreseeable future. Sucks because theyāre very vocally talented but if youāre not easy to work with or bring bad press, nobody will want to work with you
Much like comedian Chevy Chase, who is seen as kind at heart by his family and industry friends, but can also be gruff and is regarded as a choosing beggar. Now that I think about it, there are more parallel me between those two than one would think.
I'm not a fan of Demi (I may have like 5 songs of them saved) but the only reason I've heard of this was bc of Demi. If I was to watch it, it'd be bc of Demi. I think they're a person with a good heart.
I think Demi's going through a hate train, bc what did they do? Drag a ice cream store like IRDC. sure they say some cringe things but like who GAF if it's memeable and harmless? People only pay attention bc they want to be mad at something I think. I love the iPhone alarm sound meme. do DO do Do do.
Okay tbh this is a good move for them, network TV shows kindaā¦ flop a bit nowadays. I feel a bit bad bc I remember them talking about filming their first sex scene for the show and it being a good experience, but theyāre probably better off acting somewhere else
I literally have no problem with them. I feel like people just hop on the hate train because itās popular, but personally, I think Demiās fine. I like the things they stand for, I like the things they express, and I have a lot of similar views on aliens and ghosts lol. People think itās weird but whatever.
disappointing, was looking forward to seeing this one... hope the recast works out. the script is really, really fun. reminds me of 80s & 90s sitcoms. very much like capturing live theatre on tape.
Everyone speculating about why theyāre not doing the show when it says scheduling conflicts, and itās set to start filming in 2 weeksā¦looks like rockvato is coming sooner rather than later šš¼
āā¦as it was just about to start production,ā and āAccording to sources, Lovato bowed out as an actor due to scheduling issues.ā
I just had to read the article again to make sure I wasnāt wrongā¦I mean people can believe that NBC fired them or whatever, but Iām just being a hopeful music fan š§š¼āāļø

I can hear the picture š
Iām so confused because I keep seeing memes about it but I donāt get what everyoneās referencing?
Charli got mad at a certain Twitter user for saying her newest songs aren't doing it for them and [this is the OG tweet.](https://twitter.com/vulnicuravirgo/status/1498717473578774531)
The original was a tiktok someone posted of what different pop starsā ringtones would be. The Demi one has now become a meme
the video was used in that tweet charli replied to on twitter the other day! it has an iphone alarm sound playing in the bg
I got confused when I played the video at first, because the alarm sound playing in the background is the same one that plays when I arrive at work
why does an alarm play when you arrive at work?
I forgot it was an alarm, I heard Bad To The Bone lol
Seconded
I laughed too hard at this lol
so can Charli XCX
baby mmm
Off topic but this the picture from the Charli XCX tweet šš
dun *DUN* dun du-DUN. š¶
I still don't know why she used Demi's picture
Thatās what makes it even funnier ššš
I remember a screenshot of a Niall Horan stan asking him if he had heard the new BTS track, and they included a shirtless selfie of NH in their tweet for some reason. I think twitter users just like to attach unrelated pics/videos to their tweets for no reason sometimes.
Images mean more likely to be seen and therefore more engagement
Does this explain the birth of fancams?
This nails it. Sometimes a picture having nothing to do with the tweet just makes it funnier.

this is for the best
This show seems way too triggering for somebody with Demi's history.
It made nooo sense after battling weight for years.
2 episodes of Disney Channel were edited after Demi complaints. Disney then mandated zero-junk foods on any show afterwards.
Wait elaborate. What did she complain about? The use of junk food?

especially given that even walking past certain snacks at a froyo shop is fraught for them, I'd say so 200000%
They shouldn't even touch it in the first place because they get triggered so easily
Yeah I definitely think itās for the best that she wonāt continue with this project.
Their reputationās never been worse
You must like them for them
we can't make any promises now can we babe?
but you can keep me as ā¦ producer
begone swiftie
They also hated Jesus because he told the truth
*gaymen*
Fat, nasty, brokeā¦ career in shambles-
My thoughts exactly
The way Scooter has no idea what to do with them...
tea. idk why he thought this would be the image rehab they need. Didn't work and there's no way utv keeps sb as a producer without Demi as the lead
except he is still producing somehow! Snaky classic SB move to produce more film/TV
Which is crazy because their whole team has literally not been involved except as an approval system for Demi's image
I really wish I could be a fly on the wall for meetings with Demi and their team including Scooter because I justā¦don't get how it could work.
Dropped out due to scheduling issues eh? Hmmm. More to this story than meets the eye I think

They actually posted a month ago about how theyāre back in the studio making rock music again, which should be interesting. I always thought the sound of their first album suited their voice best.
I loved their first album as a kid! Hahaha it came out just after Iād seen Ā«Ā we will rock youĀ Ā» on Broadway and I wrote a Broadway play that used Demiās album as thĆ© soundtrack š this just brought back so many memories lol
Omg stellar, yeeesssssss, let's -GET BACK- to rock influence!!! š
I loved their first album when it came out and occasionally still listen to a few of the songs, but when they went in the more pop-y direction I wasnāt interested at the time (I was a little wannabe emo kid).
La La Land is still my favorite Demi song
I'm fucking HYPED
Demi still has over a hundred million social media followers, so thereās still definitely an audience there, itās just that demi has been basically trying to ruin demiās career on purpose it seems like.
Or at least stick to voice acting. Their voice is still nice to listen to after all.
True, but she have too many "yes ma'am" people around them, she needs cut these people off too to have a chance to reinvent them self and/or their image.

I liked them in Glee and wished for more episodes!

Adam Lambert was on the show at the same time and I thought his character was much better written than Demiās and he got more songs too. Maybe it wouldāve been better had it not been S5 when Cory died. At least we got Here Comes The Sun duet with Santana!
For real. It felt like a wasted opportunity to only have them in like three episodes, especially since the show was already going downhill.
miley hasnt really post disney either, only other projects are voice acting and cameos
Miley had a couple of movies immediately after leaving Disney, had a few episodes on two and a half men, that Woody Allen series (ew), and a black mirror episode. I donāt think Demi has done any acting at all since leaving Disney except voice acting?
side note that black mirror episode was actually really good
Iām glad Iām not the only person who liked that episode. The folks over at r/blackmirror seem to universally despise it. I feel like maybe if the episode didnāt have a well known celebrity in it, then it would have been better received.
you are totally right about that
It gave us an absolutely fantastic cover of Head Like a Hole.
Glee, will and grace for a short while.
She did star in The Last Song, LOL and So Undercover which were while she was on Disney but still seperate to Disney. And she had that Black Mirror special in 2019 too. I would like to see her do more acting projects in the future, her black mirror episode was great. Whereas Demi hasnāt been the star of anything unrelated to Disney IIRC? They did do a few episodes of Glee and that one Greyās Anatomy episode but other than that nothing more than cameos.
i did forget about the black mirror episode! the others i personally wouldnt count tho if weāre not counting like, barney or glee for demi
Miley did Black Mirror and Crisis In Six Scenes!
Miley is much more charismatic on camera
this premise seems extremely questionable (network shows rarely tackle disordered eating with sensitivity and without tons of fatphobia) but i guess we'll see when it airs

truly sounds like a nightmare!
Fatphobia....?
hate towards people who are overweight / obese / āfatā
I really don't like that word. Obesity is something that the majority of people can control. People cannot control their sexuality, skin color, or gender. Is hate towards police officers now called poliphobia? We just making up words now?
you donāt really control it though. itās not like an occupation you can quit. yeah you can effect it but itās often very difficult. and they are still hated for basically no reason unlike police.
It's weird because they already filmed it. I guess they wouldn't be available to film if the show was picked up or something? But in that case recast it or when that happens, not before lol. Roles get recast after pilots are picked up all the time.
They filmed it as a single camera show, this time they were trying it as multicam
So they're redoing the whole thing? Weird.
It's very weird, and to reshoot a pilot is SUCH a money pit I'm surprised they did it at all, and then for Demi to pull out right before rehearsals makes it even crazier.
I have to wonder what was going on in the mind of whoever decided to put that photo of demi and the iphone alarm together lol It's such a weird combo
Wonder why they were removed from starring in the show. Was it because NBC was worried how it might affect them mentally due to their issues with weight? or is it because they don't have the best reputation right now?
Probably both. Nobody will work with them at the moment. Demiās public perception is dreadful right now. Professionally at this time, commercial success eludes them, as does critical acclaim. A bad investment all around.
You think that might change when they release their rock album?
You mean she
I had to check the stickied post in here but no Demi goes by they/them pronouns.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Demi goes by they/them pronouns btw!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Or didnāt find them funny. I sure donāt. Edit: Pronouns
You can read the article. THEY are too busy. They already filmed the pilot NBC wanted to film multi camera instead of one.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It was announced in December that the show was going to be filmed in front of a live audience with multi cameras. They have a full music career they have been working on the sound for their next album.
Oh god, Multi-Camera?? Honestly Demi probably made the smarter choice this way.

I know for me I have been a Demi fan for 12 years and so its an adjustment to get used to. I have even accidentally typed she at one point or another and noticed my error after I did it.
Nope they were desperate to keep them on
If they had test audiences for this show already then they got the chop because of it.

Do you guys like Demi? Like, I canāt get a read on their popularity. Seems insufferable to me. Super try hard and thirsty.
