Last year (now canceled) Disney Channel Jessie actress Debby Ryan bravely opened up about a friendship that turned abusive. Where many met Ryan with praise for coming out about the traumatic experience, she has also faced some backlash. Check out the report below as well a look at the 2016 return episode of the Jessie spin-off series, Bunk’d.
Recently, Debby Ryan opened up to People about how revealing her past abuse has been met with some backlash:
"My first love texted me. I had been wanting to get a text from this person for a year saying that he wanted us to be okay and be friends, and the one that I get from them is, 'How dare you speak about this abusive relationship? Because you know that people are going to think it's about me.'
"It automatically took me aback, like, Maybe I'm doing the wrong thing by being open and for sharing -- and how dare I be so selfish? Then I realized that there's good and bad to anything that you do, [so I have] no regrets."
Ryan went on to talk about how the actual abuser reach out to her:
"I have a very, very strict do-not-talk-to-me policy for this person. He sent a five-page handwritten letter a few months after the campaign came out and was like, 'I'm so sorry, I didn't realize I had affected you in this way.' "
The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode of Bunk’d, titled “Counselors' Night Off,” reads:
“Ravi is in charge of the camp when Emma sneaks out to attend a Counselors' Night Out party.”
Be sure to tune into the all new episode tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern on The Disney Channel.
