Other stars have also struggled to shed the Disney image

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Thorne also defended fellow Disney star Dove Cameron, who has received criticism for expressing herself outside of her Disney roles on Liv and Maddie and Descendants (via People). “Like, come on, Dove Cameron is one of the hardest workers I know, and she’s an amazing actress,” Thorne said. “And people still wanna say, ‘She’s Disney.’”
Thorne also spoke of the distress that Britney Spears, a former member of The Mickey Mouse Club, faced after she shed her squeaky clean image, the likes of which were made apparent on the Hulu documentary Framing Britney Spears. “It made me so sad, just all the wrongs that society did to her,” Thorne told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s disgusting what she went through, what she is still going through, the whole nine yards. It is literally terrible.” The Jonas Brothers are also entirely too familiar with the difficulty of shedding the pure Disney image. “I think generally what became challenging for us when we decided to grow, was that we had become known in a certain way for certain things and affiliations with Disney,” Nick Jonas told Wonderland Magazine in 2019. “I think just generally, Disney exposure made it tough for people to accept us as a real band at times.”
In the case of breaking the Disney image, we would be remiss without acknowledging the fact that Miley Cyrus was perhaps the first to do so — while swinging around on a wrecking ball, no less.

Thorne has embodied this sentiment recently through the steamy music video for her latest musical project, “Shake It,” in which she is seen being intimate with porn star Abella Danger ( via Daily Mail). The actress has also never been shy about showing off her body or “real” life on social media.
