i thought they re-newed this show so she wouldnt cut and have an eating disorder anymore and to keep her busy...? Guess she wants to focus on music and recovery: LOOK:

Demi Lovato is leaving "Sonny With a Chance," the Disney Channel TV series that made her a star. Lovato said she didn't "think going back to 'Sonny' would be healthy for my recovery." Instead, she said she wants to focus on her music career. The 18-year-old entered a treatment facility for three months in 2010 to deal with what were termed emotional and physical issues. Disney Channel officials said they respect Lovato's decision to focus on her music and "not immediately" return to acting. "Sonny" will continue airing as a spinoff titled "So Random," with the original show's cast, guest stars and musical acts, Disney said.
The company also offered its support while Lovato works to "improve her health and bounce back from adversity." In an interview that will air Friday on "Good Morning America" and "20/20," Lovato recounted developing an eating disorder as an 8-year-old who faced bullying. She later started cutting her wrists to vent her despair, she said. "I've spoken openly about being bullied throughout the past few years, but one thing that I've never been able to feel comfortable talking about was the effects that it had on my life, afterwards," Lovato told ABC News' Robin Roberts.

I guess it doesn't really matter.. since they're basically reinventing the show into another format, it's really more of a spinoff than an actual continuation. Sort of like "SWAC is cancelled, but we're doing a spinoff" as opposed to "Demi is leaving SWAC". I kinda wonder what the real story behind Demi is.. I may be alone in this here, but I doubt what she/Disney/her management have said so far is the whole story.

I think its good for her that's she's leaving and taking more time for herself. Just because shes out of rehab doesn't mean she's completely ok
