While 18-year-old Demi Lovato deals with her mysterious rehab check-in, disney has decided to temporarily write her character out of "Sonny With a Chance" and focus on other characters, instead of putting the show on hold.
In case you missed it, Lovato dropped out of a Jonas Brothers tour on November 1 for what her publicist called "emotional and physical issues she has dealt with for some time." Little was said about her condition, except that it was not drug- or alcohol-related.
There have been reports that the issue involves self-harm, and the untimely death of her ex-boyfriend, musician David Osborn, who drowned in a tubing accident in July, may have been a catalyst.
USA Today reports that "Sonny With a Chance" will start focusing on a spin-off element called "So Random!" while Lovato recovers.
A disney spokeswoman issued a statement saying, "This allows [Lovato] the time she needs to get well, without distraction or pressure ... We extend our ongoing support to Demi and her family as she works to overcome personal issues."
