Skai Jackson was accused of spreading rumors — and Debby Ryan addressed them

Make no mistake — countless Disney Channel stars have been accused of not getting along. However, what sets the situation between Skai Jackson and Debby Ryan apart is that Ryan addressed the rumors head-on.

Three and a half years into the show's four-year run, "Jessie" fans began to think something was amiss. Per J-14, Jackson was no longer following Ryan on Twitter. On its own, that wouldn't necessarily be a big deal ... but then, a concerned fan messaged Ryan via Tumblr, disturbing accusation in tow. "Skai's been telling me and others you 'push' and bully her," they wrote. That was just the beginning, though. The fan also claimed that the younger "Jessie" star had reached out to people on Instagram and "said you do drugs and are on crack." Given the severity of that suggestion, it's unsurprising that Ryan felt compelled to respond.

Granted, Ryan's response was pretty compassionate. "If I was 12, I probably would be insecure about the lead of the show I'm supporting on," she began. Ryan also added that when the show began, she knew tensions would arise as the younger cast members got older. "That's a rough age ... Especially in this industry. I would know," she wrote. However, she also made a point of dispelling the drug rumors, with a sassy-yet-firm endnote: "I do not have time to do drugs I work three jobs." A classy clapback, if ever we saw one!
