In this essay, Jonas states that he and his brothers/bandmates felt trapped as a result of their Disney stardom. The singer/actor thanks Disney for fame, but nothing else.

He claims that Disney placed artistic restrictions on the band, and crafted an image that does not mirror the members' true selves.

Jonas has also revealed information about his past girlfriends and dates, admitting that he went on a date with a fan when he was 16. 

Just one day after the essay was released, former Disney star Dylan Sprouse published his own rant - not against Disney, but against Joe Jonas. 

On his Tumblr, Sprouse said that Jonas’ essay was “bull****”. He said that he, a former star on Disney's “Suite Life of Zach and Cody”, turned out fine. Having a long-time contract with Disney throughout his childhood was not a negative influence.

The main point of Sprouse’s rant was this: the Jonas Brothers made a choice to join Disney, and had the choice to opt out if they desperately wanted to. The Jonas Brothers signed with Disney in hopes of becoming famous, and Disney delivered.

What will Joe Jonas say to his fellow ex-Disney star?

Jonas is on a roll of disclosure, and is likely to react to Sprouse’s criticism. The essay is expected to be published in the December 9th edition of New York Magazine, and this version may contain a response to Sprouse's rant. 

If so, Sprouse will have no problem defending himself, especially if he was willing to go public about his disagreement with Jonas. In his Tumblr reaction to Joe Jonas’ essay, he said, “…Cole [his "Suite Life" costar] and I had been acting our entire lives, so we saw it as a means to an end (money making) rather than an opportunity to become successful.”

Sprouse ended his little speech to fans (and to Joe) by bluntly stating how the essay made him feel. “What that article felt like was: ‘Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, still shame on you’,” he said. “My personal creed? ‘Fool me once, you’ll forever regret that decision’.”
