Working for Disney is the career opportunity of a lifetime.

Some, like Hilary Duff, emerge from their child stardom unscathed.

And others? Well, those are the ones who end up in lists like this one.

Orlando Brown

Harpo

In 2018, That's So Raven star Orlando Brown was arrested in Barstow.

Okay, maybe not Disney Channel, but Mickey Mouse Club is close enough, right?

I think we're all pretty aware of quite a few of Britney's scandals.

Her biggest one that involved the law happened in 2007, when she lost custody of her children and shaved her head in public.

Since then, she received the mental health help she desperately needed.

Adrienne Bailon

Adrienne Bailon of The Cheetah Girls ran into some issues in 2008.

Her nudes were leaked, which (unfairly) led to a decline in her career.

However, her former publicist claims that Adrienne leaked the nudes herself. What?

Bella Thorne's relationship with Disney sounded like a toxic one.

After she dared to wear a bikini at the age of 14 and caused a "scandal," Bella says Disney threatened her.
