Christy Carlson Romano is making headlines by distancing herself from her former Disney Channel co-star, Shia LaBeouf, after his recent arrest in New Orleans. In a bold Instagram video, Romano lip-synched a phrase underscoring her decision to step back, saying,“I’m not involved. You made that very clear.” This pointed move grabs attention, especially as Romano has her hands full dealing with a serious personal health issue.
The arrest, which took place on February 17, comes after LaBeouf allegedly caused quite a stir in a local restaurant, leading to two battery charges. It seems these two childhood stars have taken very different paths since their time together on the beloved show Even Stevens. As Romano reflects on their past camaraderie, she hints at some regret, revealing that she wishes she’d been more supportive during their heyday.
Despite the drama, Romano’s prioritization of her health and well-being shines through her social media remarks. The lingering question remains: how do former Disney stars navigate their grown-up lives when the cameras stop rolling? The turbulence of their adolescent friendship against the backdrop of personal struggles proves it’s a complicated business in Hollywood—sometimes, even between siblings on screen.
