It is not easy being a woman in the public eye. It is even worse when one is a teen dealing with a changing body and the stresses of growing up. Former Disney child-star Christy Carlson Romano knows this first hand and opens up about it on her podcast Vulnerable.
On the episode on October 3, 2023, she reunited with her former Cadet Kelly costar Andrea Lewis. During the episode she revealed it was her mom, Sharon Romano, who suggested she get breast implants. Christy would take her advice.
While filming Cadet Kelly, Christy experienced “body image issues, big time.” Her mom was a big part of her career and a trusted advisor. “At the time obviously, I was coming of age in Hollywood … and my mom and me looked at footage or some s—,” Christy explained. “She was like, 'Christy, if you want to get breast implants, I just want to let you know that’s an option.'”
Christy makes sure not to completely throw her mom under the bus. She explains her mom is “from a whole different generation.” They seem to have a good relationship. “I love my mom. … She was stage mom-ing that moment,” she adds.
