OlderDemi Lovato Exits 'Sonny with a Chance'
Demi Lovato has left her Disney Channel series Sonny with a Chance, JustJaredJr.com can confirm.
“It made sense for me to go ahead and leave the show to focus on my music,†the 18-year-old starlet revealed. “It’s kind of sad for me that a chapter of my life has ended but there couldn’t be a better time for me to move on… I don’t think going back to Sonny would be healthy for my recovery. Being in front of a camera would make me nervous.â€
Demi’s decision has the full support of Disney Channel.
“We respect Demi’s decision to focus fulltime on her music and not immediately return to her acting career,†a rep for Disney Channel said. “She is a talented young woman and our hearts are with her as she continues to take action to improve her health and bounce back from adversity.â€
In January, Demi completed a three-month program at a treatment facility for “emotional and physical issues.â€

This is strange, but I’m proud that Demi took a stand and will be focussing on something else. I just wonder what the show will be about now that Sonny is gone lol
this makes perfect sense, i like her better as a singer than an actress anyway, so did disney because they always had her singing on the show. glad that she has a good head on her shoulders. love you DEMI stay strong love <3
wow… it’s gonna be weird that Sonny is gone. Dont tell me they’re gonna continue by having another girl replace her like they did in As the bell rings?
But i love her music, glad that she’s focusing on that. :D
She exits SWAC?? ooooh i love her playing the charachter of sonny. But it’s totally fine if that makes her feel better. She’s still very talented! I love her voice so much :)
So Random will flop, sorry to say it, but it will. No Demi – means me no watching it! (yep, that was English! sorry!).
Music is her real talent and can’t wait for more music from her. :)
It was a mature decision to leave a successful show like SWAC but it’s for her health and that’s important :)
So happy for her it is a wise decision but the show is just going to end like that??
PRAISE THE LORD! She should’ve left Disney ages ago! They never did give her the promotion she deserved anyways! So Random isn’t gonna make it without Demi
@Bridgit Mendler Online: I agree they never did promote Demi right, so much talent and they were holding it back not letting people see how truly talented she is maybe now she can get the recognition she deserves
@Bridgit Mendler Online: FYI – Please read the article (linked). She didn’t leave Disney just SWAC. She is concentrating on music fulltime w/ Disney’s Hollywood Records and I assume the promotion you meant was re: her music career.
i think its the right choice for demi…i think there will be open doors for her…music is her number 1 and her health also <3 we the LOVATICS WILL BE THERE FOR HER…disney channel doesnt even deserve her..they dont hardly promote her..like selena gomez whos album charts arent even good..and they still promote her…like wtf seriously..but demi’s was NUMBER 1..WITHOUT ANY OF DISNEY’S PROMOTION…thats what true music is seriously..WE LOVE YOU DEMI <3
It is kind of sad to see her leave the show like that.I support her decison though because if she thinks leaving the show will make it more easier for her then that’s fine.
@Lyndz
It will probably me someone like Debby Ryan or Selena Gomez (Wizards is ending) replacing her, or maybe it will just stop.:
Aww, as much as I would love to see Demi back on TV again, her music will be great and I’ll still support her no matter what. It’s kind of sad that we’ll never find out what happened between Sonny and Chad………..
I guess this means no more sonny.
no suprise they did take her name out of the show now its just bad 20 somtin actor the show ill flop but im kinda glad too miely gone and selena will be gone this year too it would not make sense for her to stay no i have no reason to watch disney its reall is the new transition will be starting in a few weeks one that ant farm show starts a new girl who is actully 13 years old if i was 12 again might look at it, any way i cant belive my genreation of dieny is about to end oh well
hope girls have fun with shake it up charlie baby and ant farms
as sad as i am, im happy taht demi’s doing wats best for her but wats gonna happen to SWAC??
Thank God! I love love love Demi and SWAC was an awful show! Demi was great playing a dorky/funny/cheerful character but the show just wasn’t funny… I’m glad she left that show… I’m only disappointed because she took a break from acting. I’d really like to see her in a movie you know. Well, as long as she is happy :D:D
i love demi n her talent is going to show now…. BUT i hate the fact that the season ended with sonny and chad broken up!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhh.. the last episode was so cute but no channnyyy =( i wish there’s one more episode with them being back together =( i love channy
i wonder how the cast feels about this. and i wonder how they’ll explain the absence of sonny in the show. and how’s the show going to survive without demi? the show has been successful because of demi’s performances. the other characters were just there to support her. without the show’s star, the show now has to come up with news strategies to stay popular.
@dude: actually, she has fully left Disney, she is no longer under the management of Papa Jonas and her show is no longer airing. So just like Allstar Weekend and Jesse McCartney, she’s only signed to them she’s not actually a part of them anymore .
@ruby: Miley’s already gone. Here show ended in May of 2010 and stopped airing back in January
@Bridgit Mendler Online:
Hollywood records is part of Disney. Did she go to a new record Label? Did she leave Jonas management? Well, if so that is good because they sure did not support her when she was away. That show will not make it without Demi, even if they changed the name – most of the rest of the cast is so lame – Demi made that show.
Disney is a real killer. They promote these kids to death when they first get them & work and suck the blood out of them & then toss them aside when they get older. They only way they can stay on with Disney is if they are willing to dress and act like they are 12 even if they are 25 or 30.
WHAT?! So we’ll never find out what happens between Sonny and Chad? They were my favorite couple ever. *sobs*
But it’s good that Demi is focusing on just one thing for now, there’s less stress for her.
SWAC will always be my favorite show and I will not forget! Sonny with a Chance is one of the best show made me laugh so much Demi she is the best actress!
Sonny with a Chance to Demi’s great without it makes no sense, no fun and no joy! but I’ll always support Demi in everything she does because I’ll always be her fan my girl! love you! SWAC The best!
