I doubt all those child start had perfect lives. I think they were lucky they didn't grow up in the toxic social media world where you had to be online 24/7. They wrapped up the last movie just before social media peaked.


Miley Cyrus and here TV series became popular in the same era , the transformation was drastic .

Emma Watson or Daniel Radcliffe no doubt didn’t have perfect lives as child stars but they have handled their stardom far better than their peers from the same time


Miley Cyrus said she intentionally turned herself incredibly cringe to be fired from her contract with Disney as they were making her miserable but her contract didn't allow her to leave so getting fired for not acting "child friendly" in public was her way out.


That logically sounds pretty unsound, any such termination clause would mean she gets very little or nothing.

The cost of this kind of exit is going to be always higher than any voluntary termination . Lawyers are not dumb this loophole would have pretty obvious early on, Disney has had decades of experience handling child stars she is hardly the first star or the first one to have problems with her image for Disney.

It just seems like a PR reason, it could perhaps explain until contract termination by Disney not the next ten years after the image she has built.


Could it be verified or corroborated by something else? It could also be she tried something new which backfired and few years later, her PR team made a half decent excuse to save face.
