Jake Responds to Haiti Earthquake

2009 ALMA Awards - Arrivals

While Selena Gomez is encouraging her fans to help out in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake, her "Wizards of Waverly Place" costar, Jake T. Austin, is choosing another way to express his concern. He chose a very... non-Disney word to convey his emotions.

Fans began calling him out, saying he shouldn't swear because he was a role model. He defended himself by saying "I am a person ya know"... and "Im an actor, not a 'Disney star.'"

He has a point, doesn't he? He is fifteen years old. It's not unheard of a teenager to swear. And why are people still expecting Disney stars to be role models? Has no one heard of Miley Cyrus? On the other hand, he probably could have used a different word if he was planning on expressing his thoughts in such a public manner.

What do you think? Is Jake in the wrong or are people overreacting?
