Monique Coleman didn’t always feel like they were on the same team when it came to her High School Musical family

Recently, the actress who portrayed Taylor McKessie in the well-known Disney Channel trilogy’s three parts talked about her time as the fictional East High student.

Although she enjoyed great success as a franchise character, she did have one roadblock with the network regarding the third film, which she referred to as “heartbreak.”

“Disney really broke my heart because when I got to the third movie, in so many ways, I really championed the film,” she told fellow Disney alum Christy Carlson Romano during the Dec. 13 episode of her vulnerable podcast. “I really always spoke so positively, and I was a black girl playing the smartest girl in school which was a very big deal at that time. And when it came to promoting the third movie, I wasn’t invited on the tour.”

She continued, “And they said something about there not being enough room on the plane, and they only invited Zac [Efron], Vanessa [Hudgens], Ashley [Tisdale], and Corbin [Bleu], and Lucas [Grabeel] and I weren’t included.”

As Monique admitted, she was more affected than she had initially imagined.

“That heartbreak really hit me very deeply and did cause a bit of a depression because it helped me to recognize that I was overly identifying with what I was doing and not who I was,” she said. “And that was what led me to take that step and say, ‘Maybe this is my five minutes of fame. Maybe this is it in some way. And if that is the case, then what am I going to do with it.'”

The Christmas Dance Reunion star continued by saying that after realizing she wouldn’t “feel reduced to Taylor McKessie,” her major objective changed to demonstrating to others that “your ambitions are still feasible” despite their circumstances.

The door is still open for opportunities with the network in the future, according to Monique, who just teased her cameo in season four of the spinoff High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

“I would be so open to working with Disney again,” she noted. “Disney is my alma mater, I tell them all the time, I’d like to come home. Especially with Disney plus, there’s so much more opportunity…I would absolutely be so open to a show on Disney. That would be very cool.”
