I don't personally know the girl of course, but I think the reason most people are "taken aback" by her is the attitude she portrays. She is saying she is this shy sweet young thing, and a disney kid...but the truth is she acts a little on the trashy side, taking risque photos and sticking out her tongue all the time, dont even get me started on her "gummy" smile. She says she is a "nicey nice girl" but then she goes on youtube and trashes her "prettier may I say" competition Selena Gomez. She is obviously very jealous and turns MEAN...and seems all about the money, and not really caring about others, but I could be wrong. Just my 2Cents worth.
