Christy Carlson Romano recently opened up about her past relationship with Shawn Ashmore, her co-star from “Cadet Kelly.” In an Instagram post, she revealed that Ashmore ghosted her after their summer romance, allegedly due to his team’s belief that she wasn’t “famous enough.” Romano, who was 18 at the time, described Hollywood as brutal for young actresses.
She also shared that her upcoming memoir, “Once Upon a Trainwreck: The Rise and Fall of a Child Star,” aims to reveal the realities of the entertainment industry. The book will be released on October 6.
Fans have expressed support for Romano, noting that they remember her more than Ashmore. She has been candid about her experiences as a child actress, including struggles with body image and the loss of significant earnings after her Disney career.
In various discussions, Romano has touched on topics like her decision to get breast implants as a teenager and her feelings regarding the fame of her former co-star, Shia LaBeouf. She hopes that sharing her story will help others navigate the challenges of growing up in the spotlight.
