Bella Thorne Call Her Daddy

    by Jim Cruz Official: Bella Thorne

    Bella Thorne got real on Call Her Daddy about that 2019 moment a blackmailer started sending her private photos she’d never posted. She said it felt like her power was being taken all over again, and the fear that everything she’d built since she was eight would just be gone. So she made the call to leak them herself: “At the end of the day, if I’m gonna lose my whole career and everything I’ve worked for… I’m gonna just say, f*** it all… So I’ll just do it.” The FBI actually reached out to her about the case, but what really broke her was people accusing her of faking it or just wanting attention

    In 2019, you made the decision to leak your own nudes. It started off with a text like, oh, hi, kitty, something, something. And then again and again. And then a photo of me that I had never posted. I was like, oh, my brain just like chills. And then he was like, you want more? And so he sent more. And then he like kept sending them until he got me in a conversation with him. and I'll never forget I'm with my manager Thor at that time I like looked at him I showed him the messages he read through all of them and I was just like I don't know what to do like it just feels like this is what's happening again like my power was taken from me then for so many years and now he has this he has this thing of me and he's he's taking it again it's like it felt like being like re-read and also feeling this like everything will end if this if he does this Everything will end for you. Everything, all the shit that you've been through, everything you've done to get to this point, it's all going to be blown up and just, it's gone if he does this. And having someone else have that power and that agency over your own body Ugh And I was like well at the of the day if I going to lose my whole career and everything I worked for being like 20 at that time and working since I was eight, I'm going to just like just say, fuck it all. And I'm never going to work again. And my life's over because this man's going to do this. So I'll just do it. I think the worst part of that was people saying you did this you are faking it you just want to show us your tits you want us so badly to see your private parts that that's why you're doing it you want it and that to me like really broke me and then i get like a call one day and it's the fbi and they're like, hey, you know, we've seen this thing. We think it's our guy. And like, can we come over? Can we get all the data? Can we see what this is? And they came over to my house. The grace and the bravery that it takes someone is so incredible. Anyone who's ever had to write like a victim quote unquote statement, I give it up to everyone who has come forward and everyone who hasn't, you know, both are incredibly brave in their own right. And that is the truth.
