Child stars who keep their careers in entertainment as adults don’t always have the best reputations.
For example, there are plenty oftragic details about Macaulay Culkin’s life.
A handful of former Disney stars have struggled in young adulthood, too.
But not all of them have had it quite so tough.
But that doesn’t mean Fishel’s life has been all rosy.
Here are the tragic details about Danielle Fishel’s life.
The actor found herself comparing herself to others, which eventually led to some disordered eating habits.
I wanted to cry … “I was terrified to eat … Thankfully, as she told the magazine, she now embraces exactly who she is.
“I’ve learned to be comfortable in my own skin,” Fishel shared.
If you need help with an eating disorder, or know someone who does, help is available.
As a child actor, Danielle Fishel was on the receiving end of inappropriate sexualization from adult male executives.
She opened up about her experience on an episode of"Pod Meets World.”
“As a kid, I always wanted to be older.
I always wanted to be an adult.
I wanted to be seen as an adult.
“I had people tell me they had my 18th birthday on their calendar.
Fishel was also harassed by people she didn’t know.
Fishel connected with the fan, but she discovered that she had actually been communicating with a male.
Fishel fought for what she deserved, though.
However, it wasn’t an easy time for the actor.
“I didn’t want to lose the job.
I was willing to do it for whatever.
I was like, ‘Whatever, I don’t get to see this money anyway.
It’s going into an account.
yo just don’t lose this job for me.’
But just kindly don’t lose this job for me,'” she said.
Danielle Fishel has experienced plenty of criticism online, both concerning herself and her loved ones.
Fishel was also criticized for marrying Belusko despite the two having about an seven-year age gap.
But the actor took to social media to defend her then-husband and relationship.
“People are giving me s**t for marrying someone younger than I am.
Tim is mature, responsible, loving, & kind.
Way to judge people, Internet,” Fishel said in a since-deleted tweet, as reported byABC News.
Danielle Fishel is among the majority of celebrities who’s had more than one spouse.
“I was hesitant because he’s seven years younger,” Fishel toldPeople.
But her tune quickly changed.
“But he’s so mature.
I just want to keep calling him ‘husband.’
We’re on the same team forever,” she said.
Unfortunately, forever didn’t last as long as Fishel anticipated.
In 2015, the actor filed for divorce, and in 2016, their relationship was officially over.
Fishel didn’t live in her heartbreak forever, though.
By 2018, the pair was engaged, and later that year, they got married.
And those are my most favorite things!”
Fishel said of her husband onInstagramon their first Valentine’s Day as a married couple.
In 2021, the couple brought home their second child, Keaton Karp.
And for a few years, it seemed that the actor was mourning someone regularly.
“I’m so sad Willie is no longer with us.
He was incredibly kind and funny and I will miss him,” Fishel said onInstagramupon his death.
Just a few months later in 2022, Fishellost her friend Bob Saget.
“I’ve been lucky to call him and his incredible wife, Kelly, my friends.
I’m going to miss him terribly,” she said onInstagram.
Fishel lost her grandfather, whom she called Papa Joe, who served as her second child’s namesake.
Will Friedle and Ben Savage attended her wedding to Jensen Karp.
Savage visited Fishel after the birth of her first son.
She even hosts a podcast with Friedle and Rider Strong.
But things between the podcast hosts and Savage aren’t like they used to be.
“He was very adamant that it was not for him.
He was also very clear, ‘I don’t want it to stop you.
If you guys want to do it, go ahead,'” Fishel said.
But around the time the podcast launched,Savage vanished from the lives of his co-stars.
“He disappeared I wish I knew why, to this day.
We didn’t have a fight.
There’s no falling out.
There was no animosity.
But Fishel hasn’t given up on her friendship.
“I will always love Ben and want what’s best for him.
I don’t think this is the end of our story but time will tell,” she said.
This is a boundary between adults and kids,'” Fishel said.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
The actor wasn’t happy with the storyline, but she had no choice but to participate.
Fishel continued in the episode stating that she still has to fight thoughts about disordered eating.
