Bella Thorne has leaked her own nudes after being threatened by a hacker.

The 21-year-old star 'took the power back' after a hacker allegedly threatened to leak topless pictures of her, following her Twitter account being hacked last week.

Bella - best known for her role in the Disney show Shake It Up - posted screenshots of messages from an anonymous person, sending the actress her own topless selfies as well as personal videos and texting: 'YO BELLA! Got all the videos.'

Explaining why she was sharing the intimate pictures to Twitter, Bella wrote: 'Yesterday as u all know all my s*** was hacked. For the last 24 hours I have been threatened with my own nudes I feel gross, I feel watched, I feel someone has taken something from me that I only wanted one special person to see. He has sent me multiple nude photos of other celebs, he won't stop with me or them he will just keep going.

'For too long I let a man take advantage of me over and over and I'm f***ing sick of it, I'm putting this out because it's MY DECISION NOW U DON'T GET TO TAKE YET ANOTHER THING FROM ME.

Fuck u and the power u think you have over me. I'm gonna write about this in my next book😡😡😡 pic.twitter.com/0Ep0iXgW51

- BITCHIMBELLATHORNE (@bellathorne) June 15, 2019

'I can sleep tonight better knowing I took my power back. U can't control my life u never will.'

The Midnight Sun star continued: 'Here's the photos he's been threatening me with, in other words here's my boobies. So here f*** u, and the last 24 hours I have been crying instead of celebrating my book while doing my book press. Oh yea, the FBI will be at your house shortly, so watch. Your. Mother. F***in. Back.'

While there were a number of crude replies to the pictures, many fans praised Bella for reclaiming the power in the awful situation.

Bella - who is currently at war with ex Mod Sun after they ended their two-year romance - later told The Hollywood Reporter that while she is furious with the hacker, she doesn't want to 'ruin' him as she believes he's a teenager.

The actress, who has just released a compilation of poetry and essays called The Life Of A Wannabe Mogul: Mental Disarray, said: 'This kid sounds like he's 17, as much as I'm so angry and wanted to f*** him up over doing this to people I just wanted to teach him a lesson.

'He's still a kid and we make mistakes, this mistake is a bad one. But I don't want some 17 year old's whole life ruined because he wasn't thinking straight and being a dumbass.'

Bella added: 'Plus, he's obviously smart so if he got on the right side of the tracks he could actually possibly help our community and be an alliance. You can't always tear someone down for their bad sides but more so build up their good sides.'

Before the hacker taunted Bella with her intimate pictures, they targeted her Twitter account, posting tweets using racist language and changing her profile picture to that of a man.

Her Twitter account has now been restored.

Thorne is seen as this 'party girl' , who drinks, smokes and hangs out with older men.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Their summer liaison in the midst of his split with Kourtney Kardashian has turned into something of a 'party partnership'.

And Bella Thorne, 19, reunited with former flame Scott Disick, 34, once again in the early hours of Sunday morning, as he hosted an impromptu apartment party in New York City.

It's the first time the flame-haired actress has partied with the father-of-three since claims he was put on 'psychiatric hold' in August.

Scroll down for video

The actress was seen heading into his party, which appeared to be his own take on New York Fashion Week, dubbed Papi x Lord Disick show.

Party girl Bella dressed minimally in fightnets tights, a bandeau top and very skimpy denim shorts.

She elongated her slender pins with a pair of red velvet heeled boots, and shrugged a baggy denim jacket over her shoulders. She also carried a red MCM backpack.

The former Disney star was keen to shed her old squeaky-clean image as she paraded her lithe physique, and painted her visage with a full face of heavy make up to accentuate her features.

Bella gave particular prominence to her impossibly plump pout with a generous lashing of lipliner and bright pink lipstick.

The Famous In Love actress styled her reddened hair in a sleek centre parting, and added pink accents to further highlight its glossiness.

Despite it being nighttime, Bella was keen to keep incognito by donning a pair of sunglasses, and played up to the cameras as she strutted to the party, pulling a variety of poses as she strutted down the street.

Scott kept comfortable in a pair of trainers and baggy jeans as he strode purposefully to the apartment.

The father-of-three reportedly held an impromptu fashion show at the venue, which was attended by many of his rumoured flames and leggy models.

Amongst the star-studded attendees were Justin Bieber's exes Ashley Moore and Chantel Jeffries, as well as his protege Madison Beer.

Anwar Hadid and Nicola Peltz attended, as well as model Neels Visser. Delilah Belle Hamlin, Lisa Rinna's daughter, also was spotted at the party.

Scott and KUWTK star Kourtney ended their relationship back in July 2015 after three children together. They remain amicable for the sake of their sons Mason, 7; and Reign, 2; as well as daughter Penelope, 5.

Scott appeared to be in high spirits since The Blast reported that he was 'involuntarily placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold at West Hills Hospital' back on August 18.

However, the self-described 'sex addict' - who was once hospitalised for alcohol poisoning - was allegedly 'released before the usual 72-hour period for being a danger to himself or others.'

Scott previously completed his fourth rehab stint at Cliffside Malibu in 2015 after having received treatment in the past at centres in Florida and Costa Rica.

The property heir has reportedly been spotted partying with a bevy of beauties during New York Fashion Week.

He has been romantically linked to Sofia Richie, Bella Thorne and Chloé Bartoli in the past year, although all three girls have claimed that they are simply 'friends' with the Lothario.

Romance rumours about Scott and the 19-year-old daughter of Lionel Richie began last May as the pair partied aboard a luxurious yacht in the South of France during the Cannes Film Festival.

Meanwhile, Bella took to Twitter last month to again confirm that her Cannes Film Festival yacht buddy Scott Disick was just a friend.

'Like I have mentioned me and Scott and friends,' the teen tweeted. This was a message reiterated in June when she spoke to Complex.

The Famous In Love star was first seen canoodling Scott, 34, at dinner dates in Los Angeles before the twosome jetted off to the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Bella's new image is exaggerated as a result of her co-star - Zendaya keeping a similar image to her Shake It up role.

Although not always having an 'innocent' role, we still see a consistency in how she's presented on social media, movies, news outlets and more.

(Classy, Elegant, Talented )

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's almost a cliché that many former Disney stars go on a rebellious streak after parting with the House of Mouse. There seems to be two options for a post-Disney career: thrive or rebel. Zendaya and Bella Thorne, stars of the 2010-2013 Disney Channel show, Shake It Up, are perfect examples.

Zendaya's Post-Disney Career

Zendaya's post-Disney career is similar to those of Hilary Duff, Vanessa Hudgens, and Selena Gomez. Though all three former Disney starlets have endured hardship and scandal, they have managed to come out on top and thrive in their post-Disney stardom.

Zendaya, 23, starred as Rocky Blue in Disney Channel's Shake it Up from 2010 to 2013. Shortly after wrapping up filming Shake It Up, 16-year-old Zendaya competed in season 16 of Dancing with the Stars. Paired with professional dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy, they finished in second place behind country singer Kellie Pickler and professional dancer Derek Hough. She also released her debut album in 2013, but she has found the most success in acting.

She's most famous for roles like Anne Wheeler in The Greatest Showman and MJ in Spiderman: Homecoming and Spiderman: Far From Home, but her role as Rue Bennett in Euphoria has earned her critical praise and an Emmy. To top it all off, Zendaya has killer style.

Bella Thorne's Post-Disney Career

Before her breakout role as CeCe Jones on Shake It Up, Bella Thorne, 22, had been acting for years. After her father died in a motorcycle accident when she was only 9, she became the sole breadwinner for her family.

Since her departure from Disney, Thorne has continued acting in movies like Amityville: The Awakening and Midnight Sun. She made her directorial debut with the 2019 pornographic film Her & Him. She won the Vision Award at the PornHub Awards for her work on the film.

In 2019, she released her first book of poems, The Life of a Wannabe Mogul: Mental Disarray, where she revealed her experience with child sexual abuse. She wrote, "i dont want to sit down with the cops and cconvice [sic] them i was raped many times / why should i have to convice [sic] someone i was taken advantage of? / why is our legal system so fucked up they make their victims feel like villains." Though she hasn't revealed the identity of her abuser, she claimed that it was someone close to her family.

Thorne released her first book of poems, where she revealed her experience with child sexual abuse.

Thorne is more famous for her personal life than her professional life, mainly for her relationship with controversial YouTube star Tana Mongeau and when she leaked her own nude photos after receiving threats from a hacker. She recently made headlines for making an OnlyFans account (a website where users can pay content creators, though it's most infamous for pornographic content) and earning two million dollars in less than a week on the site. This earned plenty of backlash, with some accusing Thorne of "ruining OnlyFans for sex workers" who are trying to make ends meet during the pandemic. Thorne has apologized for offending OnlyFans users.

Why Are Zendaya and Bella Thorne So Different?

Thorne has two things in common with most Disney stars who scandalously rebel when they enter the adult world: she was put into the public spotlight at a young age, and she came from an unhealthy family dynamic. Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan? All reached unprecedented levels of fame as children. Lovato, Spears, and Lohan all grew up in toxic family environments. Sadly, Lovato seems to be the only one to make a full recovery in adulthood, but it took several stints in rehab for her to get clean.

Thorne was put into the public spotlight at a young age and came from an unhealthy family dynamic.

This shows a dangerous pattern. Former Disney starlets like Hilary Duff and Zendaya were partially able to make a successful transition to a post-Disney career with the support of a healthy family dynamic. Thorne wasn't as fortunate, and it's a real shame. The focus on Thorne's personal life takes the spotlight away from her talent and the emotional strength it took her to overcome her traumatic childhood.

The media needs to be more empathetic to Bella Thorne because the entertainment industry has not been very kind to her. If the media focused more on her talent than her personal life, she would benefit from her own mental health improving and we would benefit by seeing her true talent.

Closing Thoughts

The contrast between Zendaya and Bella Thorne's post-Disney careers is the perfect example of two young stars going in different directions. However, this also shows how important it is for the entertainment industry to look after child stars. If someone was there for Bella Thorne, we would likely know her for her talents rather than her personal life.

I felt like it would be interesting to see people's view of Thorne in this interview.
- ''After seeing this I see her in a different way. Social media really portrayed her in a very negative way. I really understand why she changed so much in a short time. Im glad shes so much happier now'

- ''She is a person I’d want in my life. I love the vibes she emits and how she just seems so effortlessly cool.️''

- ''I’m glad I saw this, now I actually respect Bella and her personality. She really needs her own documentary''

- ''I could binge watch a whole series of just her being her.. i love this.''

- ''Bella Thorne is such a real human, she's so genuine and true''

Bella Thorne labelled herself a feminist. However, looking into this literature it is clear that Thorne has influences of post-feminism. We see her 'gaining power' by leaking her nude photos as a result of being black-mailed, we also see Thorne supporting other women by sharing her sexual assault story. Additionally, Thorne encourages people to be themselves as she owns her body and has control over what she partakes in and posts. (p.613)

# data[].attributes.body
''Bella Thorne is an entitled white woman who just ruined a bunch of sex workers stream of revenue she deserves everything coming to her including all this backlash she fucked over thousands of sex workers on a WHIM peak white woman antics she is selfish, thoughtless, and callous.''

''Bella Thorne definitely deserved backlash for what she did... but so does every other celebrity who exploits a website that is used to help lower income sex workers.''

''She didn’t think about us as real people or about sex work as a real job. She SCAMMED people, which leads to the spread of a dangerous and unfair stereotype that sex workers are scammers''

# data[].attributes.body
Thorne joined Only Fans on August 19th 2020. In 1 day she made a record breaking $1 million. This sum was partially made from Thorne charging her subscribers $200 for a nude photo. Her subscribers were deceived, resulting in them to  requesting a refund and ultimately OnlyFans changing their policies.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
ou may have heard the news that Bella Thorne, the 22-year-old Disney star who once starred in Alvin and the Chipmunks, joined OnlyFans last week. The adult website allows its users to make and sell their own adult content, and be paid by members through a subscription-based service.

So what, you might think. Isn't it basically a rite of passage for celebrities who made their millions on kids shows to leave their high-paid TV career and spend the next decade desperately trying to prove they are not innocent any more? Shouldn't women be allowed to do what they want with their bodies? Isn't this feminism?

Well, not quite. And here's why: the Onlyfans model reportedly works very well for everyday sex workers who want to make adult content without being at the mercy of an exploitative industry and middlemen who take all the cash.

As you might imagine, when a literal celebrity joins the website, it disrupts the market. And so, when Very Famous Person Thorne joined the website and bragged of making $1m in a day, sex workers took issue with it. Perhaps some of them wondered why Thorne, who has an estimated net worth of between $5m and $12m, even needed to make an OnlyFans account in the first place.

Thorne justified her decision, claiming she was researching a role she had landed in a new movie by the director Sean Baker (of The Florida Project and Tangerine fame). She said she was planning on putting her earnings into her production company and toward charity.

Which could have been fine, if Thorne didn't decide to use her so-called "research" (more on that later) to mislead people.

Thorne's OnlyFans fortune - which was $2m by the end of the week - was made in part by her charging $200 for nudes to her some 50,000 subscribers which, in the end, turned out not to be nudes, but sexy photos of her wearing lingerie. Predictably, customers complained and asked for a refund.

Well this is awkward! Bella Thorne's OnlyFans scam caused OF to drastically reduce the amount SWs can charge for content, which SIGNIFICANTLY impacts our income. I lost my job due to the pandemic, so online sex work is my ONLY source of income right now. Here is my statement: pic.twitter.com/TUPJUPf32s
- Rebecca Madison 🇨🇦 (@RebeccaMadison_) August 28, 2020

Thousands of refunds, processing costs, and wasted time later, OnlyFans announced a number of changes to its website (which it claimed were unrelated to Thorne). The site now allows creators to charge only $50 for exclusive content and caps tips at $100 - previously there had been no max amounts on either fee. It also changed the way payments work, so people get paid monthly instead of weekly, as had been the previously policy.

Sex workers took to social media to voice their concerns about the changes and blamed Thorne, saying it certainly seemed like more than sheer coincidence that the changes were made directly after the incident.

More importantly, they pointed out, the changes meant a reduction in income, and a delay in payments for many sex workers on the site. "Imagine suddenly going from a weekly paycheck to a monthly paycheck," tweeted OnlyFans creator Erika Heidewald. "People have bills to pay. Kids to feed. Many people, including content creators and sex workers, live paycheck to paycheck. How are they going to pay their bills this month?"

Previously, the funds you made on OF were only pending for a week, so most creators got paid at least once a week. Imagine suddenly going from a weekly paycheck to a monthly paycheck. That's what's happening to 450,000 content creators.
- Erika Heidewald, M.D. D.D.S. PhD Esq. (@erikaheidewald) August 28, 2020

As if things couldn't get any worse, the nail in the coffin came on Friday night, when Sean Baker waded in to the argument, to confirm that the whole premise of Thorne's justification for being on OnlyFans was false - he is not making a film with Bella Thorne.

In fact, claimed Baker, the only conversation he had with Thorne happened after she joined the platform, and revolved around him asking her to consult with sex workers around her decision to join OnlyFans, so as not to hurt the community by doing so.

So much for that.

An insight into Thorne's life. She talks about her struggles, fame, her childhood, her cystic acne and more.

Thorne - ''my agents used to say your transition should be Disney to like comedy to lead love interest comedy to like Rachael McAdams type vibe''

Her response -  ''I like Rachael McAdams but I'm not Rachael McAdams, I like the darker things, I like the gritty movies, I like the movies that make you feel uncomfortable because that is what life is'. She follows up by saying 'this is me, like it or leave it'

She speaks on how she's more intentional with the work she does now than ever before. (music, movies, posts, shows and more). This video gives us an overview of Bella's 'new' image and really contrasts to her persona on Disney.

At 20 years old, Bella Thorne may appear to have it all but according to the star, she's very much still figuring life out.

From private jets to movie premieres, the actress seems to live an exciting life and she documents it on Instagram for her 17 million followers to see.

But scroll a bit further through her social-media accounts and you'll find a raw, unfiltered side of the star, who revealed she is bisexual on Twitter in 2016.

Thorne says she hopes being honest about her life and using her platform to inspire others will show fans that they too can be themselves.

"The things that have happened to me in my life have happened to me, I feel, for a reason," she told ABC News' "Nightline." "And it sounds cheesy, but it's a reason for change. ... I have a platform to speak out and it must be for a f------ reason."

Bella Thorne discusses her career and personal life with ABC News' "Nightline."

This message is heard loud and clear in her latest film, "Midnight Sun," in which she stars as Katie Price, a senior in high school with a devastating disease. Thorne's character falls in love with her next-door neighbor Charlie, who helps Katie find her voice.

Now, Thorne hopes to help others discover theirs.

"I feel like so many people would end up in healthier places if they felt like they actually had someone that's going to sit there and just listen to them," she said. "And it's not fair that they don't have help. ... Which is why I use my social media to talk about being dyslexic, to talk about, you know, other things from the past, to talk about basically anything. Any time you're creating debate, I think, is the best way to start any revolution."

But her personal revolution didn't happen overnight.

"I started modeling when I was 6 weeks old, out of the womb, literally," Thorne said. "And then I modeled every single day growing up -- my whole life, like, three jobs A? day, you name it."

Her breakthrough role was on Disney Channel's "Shake It Up." She now stars on Freeform's "Famous in Love." Disney Channel and Freeform are owned by Disney, ABC News' parent company.

On "Famous in Love," Thorne plays a girl plucked from obscurity and thrown into a world of fame and glamour while navigating the Hollywood machine. It's a reality Thorne knows all too well.

"I talked in a higher voice, in a completely different pitch," Thorne said of what she was like earlier in her career.

She said she spoke differently in interviews to keep up with the image she portrayed on "Shake It Up."

"People look at me now and they're still like, 'Please be that girl. Please be the girl with the long, nice, red hair that's blown out and the light lashes and the little bit of eyeliner and the little bit of a lip, but not too much 'cause you don't want to be too much, you want to be just enough,'" she said.

That pressure to maintain a perfect image became very real after her father died suddenly in a motorcycle accident. When she was just 9 years old, Thorne became the breadwinner for her family. She said her only option was to get a job.

"When my father died, we had nothing," Thorne said. "Everyone had taken everything, and then you've got a single mom with four kids who just lost her husband trying to have a roof over your head.""We were very close to actually just literally being on the street," she said.

And while Thorne played a middle-school student on TV, her real-life education took a backseat.

"I remember getting on 'Shake It Up' and I didn't know how to do simple adding and subtracting. Also being dyslexic, it's a little bit more difficult for me," Thorne said. "It's one of the few things of my childhood that do make me a little bit angry."

Today, Thorne is using her life experiences to show the world who she really is. She's opened up to her fans on issues ranging from her struggles with acne to more serious subjects, like depression, low self-esteem and even the #MeToo movement.

In January, Thorne posted a deeply personal story on Instagram, saying that she'd been sexually and physically abused "from the day I can remember [till] I was 14."

"I wanted to talk about it, but like all the other victims, you know, it's like you feel like you're a bad fruit," she said.

After she made the post, Thorne said she reached out to her longtime manager to ask whether what she'd said was OK.

"And he was like, 'What do you mean, "Is this OK?" This is great. You have nothing to be ashamed of, Bella,'" Thorne said. "And I was like, 'Man, that's like what I've wanted to hear my whole life.'"

Thorne said she's still trying to figure out who she is.

"I think that for the rest of my life I'll be asking myself that question," she said.

''Watch me'' is one of their popular songs and I found the lyrics in it interesting, specifically ''I'm just being me watch me do me''.

Music is a vital aspect of Shake It Up, as the plot often surrounds the dance show. Unsurprisingly, they release music as their character role.

This source is about 1950s/1960s sitcoms and how actors and their personas were increasingly connected. It suggests that ‘’blurring the line between the actor and character helped create a sense of realism’’. Despite it referring to a different time frame, it also speaks to this example of Thorne.
