Recently, she opened up on Christy Carlson Romano's podcast, Vulnerable, reflecting on her experiences during the show, including a distressing moment of body shaming.
Recalling the incident without naming names, Kim shared that during their time on the show, "someone with significant power" confronted Dylan Sprouse about his body.
