Bella Thorne claims a director accused her of flirting with him when she was 10 years old in an explosive new interview.
Speaking with Emily Ratajkowski on her podcast High Low, Thorne opens up about her acting and modelling career, which began at the age of six.
“I had a director give me feedback once and I was 10,” she says in one of the more shocking revelations. “And the casting director calls my agent and my agent calls my mom and they’re like, ‘So she’s not moving forward because the director felt like she was flirting with him and it made him really uncomfortable.'”
Ratajkowski pauses before responding, “Oh my god, you were 10?”
“I don’t give a f**k what the f**k I said,” Thorne replies. “I don’t care if I said, ‘Eat my p***y right now.’ She is 10 years old. Why ever would you think that?”
Thorne, who says she thinks about this moment “every day,” adds: “Also, you’re in a director session. You can’t really say or do much. You do the scene, you say hello, you walk out. There’s no time to like, lemme go sit on your lap or make you feel uncomfortable. What the f**k are you talking about, man?”
“Like if you need a more f**ked up story about Hollywood and the sexualisation of children like I don’t know that there is one.”

The former child actor, who starred alongside Zendaya in the Disney Channel series Shake It Up, says she has worked hard to reclaim her power after it was taken from her as a child.
“I feel like I’ve rocked the word ‘sex’ for a long time, and I’ll always keep rocking this word because it’s what’s been put on me since I was so little, and yet it’s still something that I’ve taken so much of my own power back by owning that word,” she says.
Thorne made headlines back in 2020 when she joined OnlyFans and made over $1 million in the first day. She had reportedly made $2 million by the end of her first week.
