Matthew Barrera Quick Links
The popular network Disney Channel has produced a number of famous stars who are known for their Disney roles mainly Miley Cyrus for her longtime role as Hannah Montana, Selena Gomez with her role in Wizards of Waverly Place and Demi Lovato for her role in Camp Rock. Some Disney stars are friends for life and often gush about each other on their social media and in interviews. Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus are friends and Miley has a lot of nice things to say about her. Demi and Selena's long friendship has been termed as frenemies as they often have feuds which Demi displays on her Twitter, but they always make up, so they will be friends for life. High School Musical duo's Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale often bumped heads in the movies but in real life, they're friendship goals! Even though Zendaya and Bella Thorne are complete opposites they're still friends. These Disney stars and more have been friends for a long time and it appears they'll remain that way!
Some celebrities just can't stand each other and display their feuds on their social media or in interviews. The Cole brothers have revealed their dislike for Selena Gomez on their social media because something happened when she was a guest star on their show The Suite Life of Zack and Cody which caused bad blood between them and Dylan also had a lot to say about Joe Jonas after Joe wrote an article how Disney ruined his life. The biggest feud is between Miley and Selena though as they both dated Nick Jonas.
Demi Lovato And Miley Cyrus Love Each Other
The Camp Rock star has a love-hate relationship with Miley as well just like she has with Selena but once again Miley and Demi always find their way back to each other. The two have butted heads in the past especially when Miley hanged out with Demi and Selena before Miley transformed. Demi confessed that their fights is because they both have fiery personality's.
Demi says that she fights with Selena and Miley but they always find their way back to each other. "Both Miley and Selena will never leave my life no matter what happens, because we've been through so much together." When Miley went through her bad girl phase though in 2014 Demi said she cut ties with Miley. Demi was jealous about Miley's partying, "Part of me was super jealous that I couldn’t be like that. I had to look at my life and be like, 'Okay, that's just not what you can do. There's no need to be bitter about it.'" They've recently rekindled their friendship though at the March of Our Lives rally. Miley tweeted a picture of the two and captioned it, "Been friends forever and happy to stand with you on important days like this!"
Dylan Sprouse's Twitter Rant About Selena Gomez
Before Selena joined the music industry she was one of the most popular Disney stars along with Miley Cyrus but when Gomez had a guest appearance on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody her and Dylan didn't get along at all. When Selena made it big in Hollywood, Dylan didn't like it and tweeted, "Oh I get it Selena, too good to follow your old pals Dylan and Cole huh? This is just like when we were 12. #neverforget." Before Dylan and Cole called it quits with the show, Dylan did say, “We thought, if we’re going to do one last season, it’s going to be on our terms. We’re going to produce it, and it will be a setup for a new show.’’ The main reason for their decision of one last season is because they wanted to go to college. “It would also have set up all the cast and crew we worked with for six years, so they wouldn’t lose their jobs over our decision to go to college.” Dylan and Cole pitched their spin off idea to Disney which was turned down and afterward, Disney came back to them with an idea.
“They pitched us our idea, in Miami, with Selena Gomez. And Cole and I turned to each other and basically laughed in their face and walked out.”
Ouch! It appears there will always be bad blood between them.
Ashley Tisdale And Vanessa Hudgens Are Friendship Goals
The High School Musical duo are always together years after the popular Disney movies ended. Vanessa and Ashley have girl’s nights and they even go on double dates with their partners. Ashley gave us all the details on their typical girls night in.
Tisdale also shared what the two get up to when they double date with Vanessa's boyfriend, Austin Butler and Ashley's husband, Christopher French. “Going to dinner, hanging out.” Ashley says they live down the street from each other, “So we just see each other as much as we can. She’s my best friend.” Vanessa also loves gushing about her best friend. "I’m a loyal person. She’s one of those girlfriends who will be my friend forever." When asked if Vanessa would want to work with Ashley Hudgens said, "Things are a little busy right now with Powerless, but somewhere down the line, it would be so much fun. We love each other so much." Their snap chats with each other are amazing as one featured the duo belting out to Beyoncé and Vanessa captioned it, "When you and your best friend are performers and love snapchat."
Britney Spears And Christina Aguilera are Former Disney Stars
Okay yes they're not really Disney Stars anymore as they branched out into the music industry but back when they were younger and I'm talking about way back in the '90s they were Disney stars and it launched their careers before signing with record companies. Christina was on from 1993-94 and she was 13 at the time. Britney Spears was only 12 when she joined the team and was present from 1993-94. The Mickey Mouse Club was revamped in 1989 and ended in 1996. It featured on the Disney channel and the show was about the Mousketeers, which the singers were seen as, singing versions of popular songs live. Justin Timberlake was also on the show and Christina said her and Britney both had a crush on Justin. "Even back then, he had swag. There was me and Britney — well now, you know—there was a thing back then." Over the years, Christina and Britney have both said some things about one another and their long-time feud in interviews. In 2003, Christina said this about Britney:
"Every time I tried to start a conversation with her, well, let's just say she seemed nervous the whole time. She seems to me like a lost little girl, someone who desperately needs guidance."
Britney responded, "A lost girl? I think it's probably the other way around. I can't believe she said that about me."
Zendaya And Bella Thorne Became Besties
The Shake It Up co stars felt pressured and like they had to compete with one another. As Bella says, "Zendaya and I were put in a very unfortunate position where we were kind of forced to compete against each other during Shake It Up, which made the whole first season of the show just very awkward for us." Thorne said they struggled at first to become friends. "We wanted to love each other, but yet we were constantly being put against each other. It was, 'Who's better at this?' and 'Who's better at that?'" During the second season things changed and Bella said "We kind of just had this tell-all talk where we started crying and really just put everything out there on the table, and that's when we became best friends." When Bella was reunited with Zendaya on Zendaya's show called K.C. Undercover, Bella was so happy.
"We text each other all the time, and we're always sending photos back and forth. Being on set with her again was awesome, just to have my Z back, and to see how much she's changed and how some of the things that I used to say, now she's saying."
They still hang out even though the show ended a few years ago according to Zendaya. "We'll post things to each other on social media, but we know everybody's looking at that, so if she wants to talk, she'll call me or text me."
Miley Cyrus And Selena Gomez Feud Over Nick Jonas
These three have both had show’s on the Disney Channel, Nick had a role with his brothers Kevin and Joe in the show called Jonas. When Miley, Selena and Nick were teenagers, Nick and Miley were dating but things got heated when Miley was convinced that Nick betrayed her with Selena. A source says,
The two appear to not have sort out their bitter feud over something that happened ages ago as they have Instagram wars with each other. After Selena posted a picture of herself on Instagram, Miley posted a replica of herself copying Selena's pose. Selena responded by posting a picture of herself sticking out her tongue Miley style. The plot thickens as Miley had a cut out piece of cardboard with Selena's face on it. Miley brought it out on stage in Milan during her Bangerz tour. Miley held it in her arms while singing her song "FU," and afterwards threw it into the crowd. Selena threw shade at Miley during an interview when asked about her and Miley's transition. "Obviously, she wouldn't want to be doing what I'm doing, and I wouldn't want to be doing what she's doing. But I'm a fan of her music — I don't know if she'd say that about me."
Rowan Blanchard And Sabrina Carpenter Are Inseparable
The two actresses play best friends on the Disney show Girl Meets World and what makes it even sweeter is the fact that they are best friends in real life. Rowan said the pair bonded over fashion.
The show ended, and the pair didn't see much of each other, but they reunited when working with another on the brand's Forever Chuck campaign for Converse Style Instagram. Sabrina said, "We've almost travelled different paths since the show ended, but to meet up in a place that we both can relate to and identify with is cool." Their pictures on their social media accounts are so sweet especially a post Rowan posted for Sabrina on her Instagram. Blanchard wished Carpenter a happy 18th birthday, called her a sister for life and gushed about how much she loves her. That's not all when Rowan was asked what she would want on a deserted island and Rowan immediately replied Sabrina as she says, "We’re the perfect opposites."
Hilary Duff And Lindsay Lohan and their Long-Time Feud
The singer and actress became a Disney star for her role in Lizzie McGuire and Lindsay Lohan for her role in two Disney movies, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Herbie: Fully Loaded. Even though the two haven't worked together they still have a feud that's been going for years which has been shared in interviews. The feud started in 2002 when Aaron Carter ditched Hilary for Lindsay. "I was dating Hilary for like a year and a half, and then I just got a little bored so I went and I started getting to know Lindsay." It appears to all be on Lindsay's side though as Lohan made fun of Hilary during a stint on Saturday Night Live. Hilary responded.
Tina Fey says she remembers during the filming of Mean Girls Lindsay would talk about the feud. "And there was one day where she tried to explain to Amy and me her beef with Hilary Duff, but we couldn’t crack it. But we were pretending we could follow it." It's all been mainly on Lindsay's side and the only thing Hilary has said is, "Sometimes, I really hate Lindsay Lohan."
Demi Lovato And Selena Gomez Fight But Find Their Way Back To Each Other
The two actresses met on the set of Barney and acted in the Disney movie together called Princess Protection Program and they were once upon a time best friends until recent years when Selena started hanging out with Taylor Swift. We all know how Demi doesn't hold back on her Twitter. Before the bitter feud started though Selena and Demi couldn't stop gushing about one another and developed an Internet vlog together where they revealed their hidden handshake. Selena even admitted, "We enjoy doing everything together. But our favorite is to just chill at each other's houses." When Swift came onto the scene things changed drastically as when a fan asked Demi how Selena is, Lovato responded: "Ask Taylor." When things started spiralling out of control for Demi Selena was there for her and they patched things up. "Nick Jonas, especially, has always been there for me. And Selena because she called me crying when I was in there and was just so worried." Demi appreciated the sentiment,
"But she was so worried and ever since then, we've gotten closer."
Lovato admits that they always find their way back to each other. "We've been through a lot together, we've had periods of times we here we grew apart and we just didn't really talk." Selena posted a caption about their friendship when Demi was a judge on The X Factor, "It's just the evidence of forever. No matter what."
Amanda Bynes And Miley Cyrus' Twitter Feud
The former actress who had her own show on the Nickelodeon channel called The Amanda Show isn't a Disney star, but Miley is and Bynes took to Twitter in a big way in 2013 and tried to start a war but Miley wasn't adding fuel to the fire. Amanda tweeted a comment about Miley which was later deleted because it was so rude. Miley responded in an interview,
The only shade Miley threw was when she said, "The moment you’re a trending topic it’s funny how many people want your name to come out of their mouth because somehow they can associate, and maybe they can be a trending topic.” What makes it even more awkward is the fact that Bynes has a crush on Miley's fiancé, Liam Hemsworth as Amanda tweeted this, "Liam Hemsworth is the most gorgeous man on the face of the Earth." Miley didn't respond! A controversy arises though as apparently Bynes and Liam were cuddling at a club in West Hollywood in 2011 according to eyewitnesses. It sounds like these two will never be friends!
Raven And Anneliese Van Der PolAre Each Other's Support
There's nothing better than having support from a friend especially one that you've known for years. It's been 11 years since That's So Raven aired as Anneliese and Raven are always standing side by side on their Instagram posts supporting each other with their different projects. Anneliese said the friendship is so low key, "Nobody knows about it because we were always in a car or at one of our houses or something!" In 2015, the duo reunited and Anneliese said they're not afraid about giving each other advice.
"We're closer than ever — people are just now seeing it, I think! We talk about everything and we really call each other out when we're messing up."
Raven said they bonded over the fun they had. “It would have to be the camaraderie we had behind the scenes." The actress shared what they got up to during filming. "We had such a fun time. I don’t know how many cakes I’ve had in my face and hair, all of the costumes we had, and the fact that we were a family.” Raven says Anneliese understands when they can't hang out together, "You might hear from me maybe once a month. But that’s because I’m working, that’s because I’m talking to my momma half the time, and she understood that.”
Debby Ryan and Skai Jackson Aren't So Friendly
The two met in 2011 on the set of Jessie and it appeared they were friends for a little while as Skai said. “Debby Ryan is fantastic, I love to have her. She’s a great person and she has good acting skills.” Then Debby threw some serious shade by saying on social media. "I won’t speak on specific people, because it’s unprofessional to slander coworkers online." It's clear Ryan was talking about Skai, who was a child at the time.
"But if I had one wish for every child that’s an actor — especially those that tend to be the mouthpiece for parental maliciousness — I’d wish for complete contentment, emotional security, and that they’d somehow find the joy in telling stories. Living the dream is not a job. It’s an attitude."
Apparently, the feud started after rumors surfaced of Debby bullying Skai which was never solved. A fan took to Tumblr and reportedly told Debby who responded, "I mean, if I was 12, I probably would be insecure about the lead of the show I’m supporting on. Not to mention if she was the concept, a producer, and one of the directors with the most assignment requests." Debby also said she tried to fix the relationship, "But I’ve learned that bitterness is not fixable by rollercoasters and treats, and that’s a truly sad fact — especially in younger hearts." Jackson even unfollowed Ryan on Twitter!
Nick Jonas And Demi Lovato Are Super Close
These two have been best friend goals for 10 years now ever since they acted in the Disney movie franchise, Camp Rock. The two even support each other when it comes to relationships as Demi said in regard to Nick dating Olivia Culpo before they called it quits in 2015. "Honestly, I didn't like her anyway. It's not because she's mean or anything, but he has such a great sense of humor and I want him to be with someone that makes him laugh." In 2017, Nick posted a birthday message for Demi on his Instagram and said,
"We've seen a lot of life together already. Much more to come as well. I admire you so much and am so grateful to have you in my life. Wish I could be with you today to celebrate! I know you won't ever let me live it down that you're a month older than me."
Nick and Demi are so close that they even toured together in 2016 with their Future Now Tour. Whenever Demi needs someone Nick is there, “We’ve grown up together, and Nick is somebody that I can rely on, whether it’s in the middle of the night or the middle of the day — he’s consistently been there for me.”
Drake Bell And Josh Peck Had A Fall Out
The two actors who have acted for Nickelodeon and Disney are nowhere near friendly which is weird especially since they acted together on the show Drake & Josh. In real life there is constant feud between the actors. When Josh tied the knot, Drake was upset that he wasn't invited. According to an insider,
“Drake was upset that Dan Schneider was there. Because he and Josh were friends years ago, he thought he would have gotten an invite, even though they never talk.”
Drake even shared his hurt on Twitter, “True colors have come out today. Message is loud and clear. Ties are officially cut. I’ll miss you brother.” The tweet was later deleted! A source also said when people asked Josh at the wedding where Drake was Peck answered, “Josh told everyone that he and Drake hadn’t spoken in years. They would tweet each other back on social media a couple times a year, but never actually spoke.” Josh was also hurt by Drake's public message about not being invited to the wedding. Josh says he always gets asked where Drake is and he answers, "I wish I had a better answer, but probably at home? Whole Foods? I don't know."
Jennifer Stone Supports Selena
This duo acted on Wizards Of Waverly Place together and they've remained in contact since the show has ended. Stone said, "We've definitely kept in touch. I love the fact that she is still that down-home Texas girl. You know what I mean? Even with all of the publicity and all of the stuff going on in her life, whether it's the good or the challenging, she's always just that girl that grew up in Texas. I'm from Texas, too, so I can always get down with a good Texas girl." Jennifer admits how they bonded during their sleepovers,
"We watched this scary movie and my dad decided it would be a good idea to go outside and bang on the window. We were both scared! I think if you can make each other laugh and be scared together, I think that really bonds you."
After Selena's kidney transplant, Jennifer posted a sweet message on her Instagram with a picture: “Sweetpea, you are one brave lady! Proud of you for sharing your story with so many who may be undergoing the same struggle. My prayers and love are with you always.”Selena even gave Jennifer the courage to talk about her diabetes after Gomez shared with the world about her struggles with Lupus.
Rowan Blanchard Has A Problem With Uriah Shelton
These two co-stars from Girl Meets World aren't keeping quiet about their dislike for one another. Shelton admitted during an interview, "As for Rowan, Rowan doesn’t necessarily like me. We’ve had a lot of differences. She doesn’t really like me. I don’t care. I mean, I don’t have anything against her. She’s a very, you know, passionate girl. She definitely wholeheartedly believes what she does." Uriah also admits that the feud caused problems and that's why it seems Uriah left the show but when Shelton found out that it was being cancelled he was upset.
The beef appeared to start after Rowan's anti-feminism Instagram posts and it upset Rowan's fans and they told her to distance herself from Uriah which Blanchard did. When fans asked Rowan to end Uriah on her Instagram she responded, "I don't have time for him and his stupidity." The only cast member Uirah has been in contact with is Peyton. "I’ve run into Peyton quite a bit. Peyton is actually the only one I’ve really ran into since the show ended."
Cole Sprouse And Debby Ryan Are Besties
The actress was Cole's love interest when they acted on The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody and they've been friends ever since. Cole's and Debby's Instagram are evidence of this. Cole is interested in photography and Ryan models for him and let's him post it on social media. On her Instagram post, Debby said, "This was a camera duel. I won. Real thankful for Snapchat quality #photography and this friendship." Cole even brought Lili Reinhart his Riverdale co-star to Ryan's house to meet her kittens and their stories are hilarious like when Debby couldn't make Coachella she posted on her Twitter with a funny caption and a picture of herself in front of a poster of Cole. Debby was teasing Cole for his outfit choice! When a fan asked about their relationship, Debby replied.
"Just saying, he and I have spent so much time together in the last three years; Cole and I have a friendship like no other."
Cole also gave her advice which Ryan took to heart. "Cole Spouse told me in like the first year of Suite Life that there are going to be people who love you, and there are going to be people who don’t, and you can’t place your identity in either one."
Zac Efron And Ashley Tisdale Grew Up Together
The actress and actor acted on The High School Musical Franchise as co-stars and their friendship remained after filming. "I grew up with Zac, I've known him since he was 16, so I think the memorable moments were when we would travel to different hotels in London, and Europe doing something, or any of the hotels when we were going press for High School Musical." Ashley gave us all the details on what they did while hanging out.
"We would be exhausted from our press day and everybody was just like, 'Oh, I'm going to get some food and hang out at the hotel,' but Zac and I would be like, 'Let's got to the hotel gym and work out.'"
Ashley holds these memories as they mean a lot to her. "Those are really memorable to me because he's just like my brother, so he was always awesome to hang out with. " Of course there would be rumors about the pair's relationship but it's been debunked. A source close to Zac and Ashley said, "They are good friends and have been for years." In 2016 Ashley did a High School Musical throwback birthday wish for Zac's birthday, "You will always be the Troy to my Sharpay." Zac and Vanessa are no more but it's nice to see that Zac and Ashley still have a close bond especially since Vanessa and Ashley are best friends.
Dylan Sprouse has a Problem With Joe Jonas
The two actors haven't acted together but they both were Disney stars in the past. In 2013, Dylan took to Tumblr to express his view on what Joe wrote which was published in New York Magazine. Joe confessed that he felt he couldn't branch out because of Disney. "I had to shave every day because they wanted me to pretend like I was 16 when I was 20 when the show was done, I cut my hair off and grew as much of a beard as I could." Joe also mentioned how Vanessa Hudgens was put on lockdown after leaked photos. Dylan didn't like what the Jonas brother had to say.
"I think it's rubbish that they were being robbed of choice or creativity. If they wanted to, they could have told Disney 'no.'"
Sprouse said him and Cole stood up for themselves. "Cole and I did this hundreds of times and we ended up all right." Dylan also expressed his views on why Joe didn't stand up which was due to fame, "The only reason they didn't is because, like many of the people on that channel, I think they fell for the allure of fame. Granted, Cole and I had been acting our entire lives, so we saw it as a means to an end (money making) rather than an opportunity to become successful."
Jake Austin Sees Selena As His Family
The two co-stars of Wizards of Waverly Place are close despite rumors about a feud which is far from the truth as Austin has only nice things to say about Selena. “She’s my good friend so we talk about stuff and I talk about stuff with David and everybody. We all have different relationships with each other.” Jake also admires Gomez for her acting abilities,
“She’s a very talented actress for her age and she’s a really sweet and nice girl. She’s got so much going on, it’s amazing how she’s able to stay grounded and keep sight of everything that’s important.”
After Selena's kidney transplant, Austin also sent her a heart-warming message on his Instagram, "You're one of the strongest people I know, proving that day in and out, with a smile and no complaints, even at times when I know it was hard for you. Anyone who knows you is well aware of your resilience." Jake even referred to Selena as his family. "I've never been more proud to call you my friend, my family, and someone I couldn't live my life without. Friends are the family we choose and I'm so thankful you're both." Austin also says the cast all keep in contact with one another still. “Everyone is great about keeping in touch and checking in on each other, making sure that everyone’s where they need to be in their life.”
Sophie Reynolds And Cameron Boyce Are Only Friends
The friendship duo were co-stars on the Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything and they've remained friends. They often hang out together which ignited dating rumors but Sophie says, "Cameron is one of my best friends, so the list of things I admire about him is long!" Reynolds also gushed about what she likes about him. "As a person, he’s one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. Cameron is always one hundred percent himself and never let’s anything change him. He’s just happy being him and I think that’s such a beautiful quality. His energy makes everyone around him happier and he’s great friend." The dating rumors shouldn't even be thought as Cameron see's Sophie as his sister. In Boyce's birthday message to Sophie, he said, "My sister. Happy birthday. We share a love that people have trouble comprehending, that’s how special it is.” He then went on to say what something brothers and sisters would say,
“I’d be in a very different place without you, but just because you’re an ‘adult’ doesn’t mean you get to boss me around anymore than you already do. Love you.”
When Cameron turned 18 Sophie also sent Cameron a nice message, "Happy birthday to my freckles, my bro, and the one I couldn't live without. Cam, to put my love for you into a few sentences is impossible because I know words could never adequately express how I feel."
