Bella Thorne became a star Disney Channel at a very young age, as the protagonist of the program “Shake it up”. She is now both an actress and a producer and director of films, but when she was 10 years old, she found out that a director was uncomfortable arguing that she had allegedly flirted with him.
Interviewed on the podcast Emily RatajkowskiBella -who is now 25 years old- spoke of the incident: “Once a director gave me his opinion and I was 10 years old. Director of casting He called my agent and the agent called my mother, and they didn’t understand anything, because they told him: ‘So she’s not moving forward with the process because the director felt like she was flirting with him and made him really uncomfortable?What the fuck are you talking about? He is 10 years old! Why do you think that? Why?’ my mom said. You’re in a session with the director and you can’t really say or do much. You make the scene, say hello and leave. There is no time for me to sit on your lap or make you uncomfortable. What the f**k are you talking about?”
Thorne also told how difficult it was for her to be a child actress, being in the public eye at all hours, and that the Disney company was about to fire her when she put on a bikini during a photo shoot on the beach. To date, she has recalled the incident with that director several times: “I try to find fault in myself, like ‘what did you do, Bella? What did you do to make her feel this way?’ And every time I say to myself, ‘Bella, stop it.’ Even that thought is becoming part of the problem. Don’t even think that.’”
