Pop icon Demi Lovato is talking about their family dynamic was negatively impacted after she started earning money at an early age.
The Sunny with a Chance actor spoke during their 4D with Demi Lovato podcast on Wednesday about how attaining stardom at an early age strained their relationship with their parents.
"I noticed that when I came into the spotlight at a young age, and then was the breadwinner...there wasn't a manual for my parents to read and it say, 'Here's what to do to raise a child star,'" they said.
"They didn't get that. So when they would try to ground me at 17, I would say, 'I pay the bills.' And I cringe now when I think about that attitude. But when the world is putting you on a pedestal, you kind of think that you could do no wrong. As I've gotten older, I see my parents just as big kids themselves,” they added.
