Former Disney Channel star claims she was blacklisted for being pansexual

Actress Alyson Stoner Claims Disney Removed Her from Project After Coming Out as Pansexual

During an interview on the “I’m Literally Screaming With Spencewuah” podcast released in June, former Disney star Alyson Stoner made a shocking revelation. She alleged that she was fired from a children’s show by Disney after she publicly identified as pansexual. Although she did not disclose the specific project, the 29-year-old actress stated that she was deemed “unsafe” for children.

A Diverse Repertoire

Alyson Stoner is known for her roles in popular Disney shows such as The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, That’s So Raven, and Phineas and Ferb, as well as the beloved Camp Rock film.

In 2018, Stoner bravely came out in an op-ed for Teen Vogue, fully aware of the potential consequences. She revealed that industry insiders warned her about the potential negative impact on her career, missed job opportunities, and even personal safety. However, she chose to embrace her truth.

Stoner not only shared her pansexuality but also introduced her girlfriend at the time. Today, she emphasizes that she is attracted to a person’s “soul” rather than their gender.

A Growing Trend

Alyson Stoner is not the only Disney star to come out as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Raven Symone, known for her role in That’s So Raven, has also publicly identified as a lesbian. Additionally, Demi Lovato, the lead actress in Camp Rock, recently announced that they identify as non-binary.

Interestingly, a recent report revealed that the writers of Wizards of Waverly Place had originally planned for Selena Gomez’s character to be bisexual, showcasing a growing acceptance and representation within the entertainment industry.

It is essential to create an inclusive and safe environment for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
