Demi Lovato<\/a> wants “protections” to be introduced for child stars.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Demi Lovato has voiced her concerns for child stars<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old singer shot to stardom as a child, when she appeared on the TV series ‘Barney and Friends’, and Demi now believes that up-and-coming stars should be given more help and support.<\/p>\n

In a trailer for a new documentary called ‘Child Star’, Demi says: “Everyone wanted to make it in the industry at a young age.”<\/p>\n

The ‘Cool for the Summer’ hitmaker confessed to having serious concerns about the wellbeing of young stars.<\/p>\n

Demi – who has previously struggled with alcoholism and drug addiction – said: “It just scares me to hear that these kids are making tens of millions of dollars. <\/p>\n

\n“There have to be protections put in place.”<\/p>\n

\nDemi previously claimed that the world has entered a “new era of child stardom”.<\/p>\n

\nThe pop singer has directed the ‘Child Star’ documentary and she’s determined to provide some “insight” into the issue.<\/p>\n

\nDemi told PEOPLE: “I want this to give some insight into what it’s like to become a child performer, whether it’s acting or through music, but in the entertainment industry because my parents didn’t get that before I was a child star.”<\/p>\n

\nDemi believes her own parents never really understood the pressures of child stardom.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, Demi also acknowledged that social media has changed the landscape for young stars.<\/p>\n

\nThe singer – who suffered a near-fatal drug overdose back in 2018 – said: “It’s also important because we’re now in the digital age with TikTok, YouTube and social media where children are becoming famous for unboxing toys, and it’s a new era of child stardom. So having that conversation is important as well.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
