The actress and younger sister to Demi Lovato said the 'horrible' and 'atrocious' comments about her weight left on YouTube videos, TMZ and other gossip sites 'definitely affected my mental health.'

De La Garza went on to reveal that although her parents limited her online activity, she would frequently sneak on a computer and while visiting sites like, teen gossip site OceanUp and YouTube, would “spend a crazy amount of time reading these comments” that spoke about her in an “atrocious” way. “There was one episode where I went to school with a bunch of makeup on because girls in my class said that I wasn’t pretty enough to be her daughter,” De La Garza said. “So this was talked about literally in the script of the show. The whole joke of my character was that Eva was this thin beautiful model and her daughter turned out to be quite the opposite.”
“I was able to speak up and say, ‘Hey, I really don’t like the way I feel on these clothes. I feel very uncomfortable,'” she recalled. “At one point, they let me bring in my own jeans because I kept telling them the way that these jeans [fit] — this fabric, this texture, it’s really bothering me. I can’t focus on my lines and they would let me bring in my own clothes to wear, so I would feel more comfortable.
