Disney’s Camp Rock cutie Demi Lovato stops by the October 1 Ellen DeGeneres for an interview and has this news to share – she was bullied in 7th grade.

Demi Lovato talks with Ellen about how she eventually moved to home schooling, saying, “I never really understood why [I was being bullied] until looking back. I had a different lifestyle then everyone else.”

We’ll post the Demi Lovato/Ellen DeGeneres interview when it’s available, but for now, check out Demi Lovato in the upcoming Studio DC Almost Live with the Muppets – so cute!

Demi Lovato hopes to help others with bullying, saying, “There are girls who can’t just up and home-school and focus on their career.”
