Bella Thorne Is Naked, Increasingly Desperate on Instagram

Bella Thorne is only 21, but at times, it seems that her career, such as it is, may have already peaked.

Nominally, Bella is an actress, model, singer, etc., but like so many of her peers, Thorne’s most lucrative revenue stream is social media, particularly Instagram, where she’s amassed an astonishing 18.4 million followers.

And like Kylie Jenner before her, Bella knows what makes the internet tick.

We’re talking, of course, about nudity.

It’s up there with funny cat videos and political outrage on the list of things people just can’t help but click.

Unfortunately, it’s also a game of diminishing returns.

The internet quickly loses interest in naked bodies it’s seen before and moves on to new nudity.

Some young stars realize this and change tactics (hence Miley Cyrus’ rebranding as a sober, fully-clothed hippie), while others double-down and offer up more flesh than ever, which seems to be Bella’s strategy.

Bella Thorne Is Naked

We’ve seen Bella Thorne naked before, but never this much in one day.

Both the pic and the video above appeared on Bella’s Instagram page on Wednesday, and the captions have left fans confused, to say the least.

“So excited for the big release behind this shoot btw I’m wearing underneath nude bra and bathing suit bottoms for comfortability and it helps the whipped cream stay attached ;)” Bella wrote

We appreciate the old-school emoticon, and we’re sure the Instagram admins appreciate the clarification that she’s not actually naked.

But what does it all mean?

“Thorne by Bella,” Thorne later added. “Gonna be a big release w this shoot I’m stoked”.

Adding to the confusion is the fact that she’s posing in front of a neon sign that reads, “electric p-ssy.”

Is she launching her own line of vibrators? Is she actually a sex robot from the future?

Only time will tell.

But hey, we can’t really hate, since it’s marketing tactics like these that helped make Kylie Jenner a near-billionaire.

We suppose that’s another thing Bella has in common with Kylie — a preference for inappropriately old dudes.

Bella is currently dating 31-year-old Mod Sun, just as Kylie hooked up with a Z-list rapper who was nearly a decade her senior back when she was in her teens.

Look, everything’s legal here, and a 10-year age difference isn’t that weird in most circumstances, but if you’re 31 and you have a whole lot in common with people who are barely old enough to buy alcohol, it might be time to reexamine your choices.

And it’s not like Bella is known for being crazy mature for her age, ya know?

Bella Thorne: How Much Was She Paid for This Topless Pic?

Snapchat isn’t dead! Not as long as pictures like this one are turning up on it. 

Bella Thorne is tantalizing her followers with a special treat. And no, it’s not confirmation of her first pregnancy. Let those rumors rest. Probably.

As you’ll see below, she’s treating her fans to a brand new topless photo.

In this stunning new snap, Bella poses topless with one hand draped across her breast.

Her slender fingers aren’t really covering much, but it’s at least enough that she could crosspost the pic to Instagram if she wanted.

She’s giving the camera a bold, sultry look that reminds us of Manet’s Olympia. That painting’s contrast to past similar works, such as Titian’s Venus d’Urbino, was notably that the nude woman is gazing directly at the viewer.

Just as Bella is doing. It shows a boldness and personal strength.

Contrasting with her alabaster skin, she is wearing black leather pants.

To round out the photo, she took this pic outdoors.

In a video for Vogue titled “Inside The Life of Bella Thorne,” the 20-year-old actress revealed that she can rake in considerable cash via social media.

Like so many stars, she gets paid for her posts.

“For [an Instagram] grid posting, it’s 65 grand a post.”

That is, to be clear, $ 65,000. That’s … well, it’s not a house, but it’s certainly a car. For a photograph with a caption.

“For story posting, it’s anywhere from 10 to 20K, and for Snapchat, it’s the same as Insta story.”

That is a tremendous amount of money.

We all know that celebrities are paid for their endorsements, but it sounds like Bella is in the upper echelons of social media product integration.

And it has paid off.

“I started out at 18 with literally $ 200 in my bank account and I bought this house a year later, a year and a half.”

Bella is now 20.

“That’s all from social media.”

She also works as an actress, of course, but she may use money from different revenue streams in different ways.

“I was raised to think social media is everything,”

Clearly, it is.

Though she is no stranger to showing some skin, Bella also reveals parts of her life with her fans and followers.

Sometimes, it’s good news about an upcoming film project.

Other times, she gets very personal and discusses bone-chilling subjects.

Earlier this year, Bella Thorne revealed that she had been sexually abused until she was 14 years old.

Not long after, she decided to take a break from social media.

Revealing the difficult truths of your life to millions of strangers takes its toll. We’re glad that she took time for self-care.

We are also glad that she is feeling up to returning to social media.

Bella’s thirst traps aren’t just a hobby. They’re part of her job.

Reality stars and yes, even singers and actors need to take social media seriously or leave it to experts.

(Social media managers exist for a reason, folks!)

It’s great to see Bella’s recent pics, and not just because so many of them are thirst traps.

We’re delighted to see her being successful.

It’s what she deserves.

Rob Lowes CRUSHES Bella Thorne Over Insensitive Mudslide Tweet

Rob Lowe tried to teach Bella Thorne a valuable lesson via social media on Thursday.

And the lesson was this:

Holy Hell, you spoiled woman! Do you not realize the world doesn’t revolve around you and that there are things more important going on than the state of your relationship?!?

More or less, that is.

The unexpected feud between actor and actress centered on Thorne’s response to the ongoing mudslides in Montecito, California.

This tragic incident has claimed the lives of at least 17 people… others are missing … and countless more are without homes.

It’s a horribly sad development.

In the wake of this terrible news, Thorne Tweeted on January 10 that she was pissed because a road was closed and this ruined her plans for the evening.

“F-ck u 101 to santa barbra. I’m missing my boyfriends first date on his tour,” Tweeted Thorne, referring to the new man in her life, some musician named Mod Sun.

Check out the questionable/ridiculous/insanely insensitive message below:

The Tweet drew the ire of many Internet users who called Thorne out for what would have to be called ignorance at best – and complete self-centeredness at worst.

“I’m so sorry that you’ve been inconvenienced by the 17 people that have lost their lives. This must be tough for you,” wrote one sarcastic critic.

Added another resident:

“Santa Barbra apologizes for the inconvenience, next time we’ll plan our natural disasters according to your social schedule.”

The response that has received the most attention, however, came from the Instagram account of Lowe.

A veteran star of The West Wing, Parks and Recreation and The Grinder, Lowe was not having any of Thorne’s narcissistic bull crap.

Quoting her Tweet on his social media page, Lowe held Thorne up as an example of why celebrities are considered so out of touch.

“This attitude is why people hate celebrities/Hollywood,” wrote Rob, a Montecito resident, alongside a screenshot of Bella’s tweet.

He added:

“Bella, I’m sorry you were inconvenienced. We will try to move out our dead quicker.”

A day earlier, Lowe had updated fans on the dire situation, saying:

“Mourning the dead in our little town tonight. Praying for the survivors and preparing for whatever may come. #Montecito.”

Thorne did eventually learn the reason for the road closure that set her off, Tweeting later in the night:

“F-ck just caught up on some news, had no idea why the 101 was shut down… get home to your family safe.”

This is better than if Bella knew exactly why the road was closed and still acted all pissed off, we presume.

But the mudslides have been a prominent topic for days.

Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres even FaceTimed about the fatalities on the latter’s talk show this week.

“This is how deep the mud is,” said Oprah, sharing a video of the damage and adding:

“And the house in back is gone. What a day! Praying for our community again in Santa Barbara.”

So even if Thorne really was unaware of the issue at the center of all this, it barely absolves her.

It just shows how wrapped up she is in her own universe, as compared to what has been taking place right outside her doorstep.

Bella Thorne Bravely Reveals Details of Sexual Abuse

“Time’s Up” pins, accessories for the movement of those in Hollywood who look forward to when every single predator is exposed, were everywhere at last night’s Golden Globes.

But not everyone speaking out with #TimesUp messages was at the award show. Bella Thorne was among the actresses who shared a very personal story over social media.

And she’s revealing some chilling details of the sexual abuse that she survived as a child.

About a month ago, Bella Thorne revealed that she’s a survivor of molestation.

The revelation may have seemed casual — issued over Twitter in a terse reply — but we can only imagine the level of bravery that it took for her to send that tweet.

What led to her sharing this with the world was a fairly run-of-the-mill Bella Thorne post, in which she praised an outfit by writing: “I would f–k this suit if I could.”

Someone didn’t care for Bella’s words (if you don’t like her brazen tweets, why are you following her?), and tweeted:

“What did Disney do to this girl? I think she was molested.”

That’s a tasteless tweet for a lot of reasons, managing to malign Bella, all of Disney, and also every survivor of childhood sexual abuse who’s ever lived, all in one go.

And then came Bella’s reply:

“Yeah I was. So it wasn’t Disney.”

That is a real punch to the gut. A grim revelation that must have taken a tremendous amount of courage to share with the world.

And now, in a #TimesUp post to Instagram, Bella Thorne is providing more details about the horrors that she survived.

Bella Thorne wrote:

“I was sexually abused and physically growing up from the day I can remember till I was 14..when I finally had the courage to lock my door at night and sit by it.”

No one — and particularly no child — should have to stand vigil over their own physical safety. But that’s what Bella did.

“All damn night. Waiting for someone to take advantage of my life again.”

Some kids stop being abused when they get old enough to fight back, or “too old” for their abuser to remain interested. It sounds like Bella had to free herself.

“Over and over I waited for it to stop and finally it did.”

She knows, however, that she is, in our horrible world, one of the “lucky” ones — because she got out and she’s still alive.

“But some of us aren’t as lucky to get out alive. Please today stand up for every soul Mistreated. #timesup”

So Bella is saying here that she is a survivor of both sexual abuse and physical abuse, and that it went on from her earliest memories until what would have been 2011.

That she had to lock her door at night tells us that, like the overwhelming majority of survivors of abuse, the person (or people) who hurt her was known and presumably trusted by the family.

Bella’s not making a plea for pity. She’s sharing her story to encourage others to fight for people who can’t fight for themselves.

And to fight for those who shouldn’t have to fend for themselves.

Our society and our legal system do almost nothing to protect children.

Bella Thorne isn’t the only woman, famous or otherwise, to come forward with a heartbreaking account of the unspeakable being done to her.

The entire #MeToo movement was born of that.

And from #MeToo, which built ties of sympathy and solidarity, came the #TimesUp movement, for survivors and also their friends and supporters to come after those who set about ruining lives.

We hope that anyone who would do the evil things that Bella Thorne reports faces justice, if they have not already.

We hope that all perpetrators do.

Bella Thorne Reveals that She Was Molested

Just because people are more likely to see Bella Thorne at her thirstiest doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have a serious side. She’s one hell of an actress, she’s part of the LGBT+ community, and she stands up for herself online.

In a particularly serious moment, Bella Thorne tweeted a grim revelation:

She is a survivor of molestation.

It can be easy, especially on the internet, for someone to not think about the words that they’re saying and the potential impact of those words.

It can also be easy to look at a young, beautiful, wealthy celebrity and assume that their life is just as perfect and carefree as it appears from their Instagram selfies.

But people don’t always openly advertise their pain or their traumatic pasts.

And there’s a reason that people try to discourage jokes about real-world horrors like sexual abuse, folks. Because it’s a real thing that happens, and you never know who — even among your friends — might be a survivor of something truly awful.

And that goes for tweets that you make on the internet about random celebrities.

So, Bella Thorne made an over-the-top remark about an outfit, tweeting:

“I would f–k this suit if I could.”

Honestly, anyone else endorsing products on social media needs to step up their game. Bella Thorne just raised the bar.

But at least one person found that praise off-putting, apparently, tweeting:

“What did Disney do to this girl?! I think she was molested.”

That is an unacceptable thing to say, even without Bella’s reply. Implying that someone who is open about their sexuality as an adult must have been molested to get that way is … awful. (And inaccurate; we’ll get to that in a moment)

Bella quoted the tweet, replying:

“Yeah I was. So it wasn’t Disney.”

That’s quite the bombshell to drop.

Bella’s never shied away from being blunt — she came out as bi on Twitter in response to a random tweet inquiring about her sexuality.

But revealing that she’s a survivor of molestation — we don’t know when, or by whom — is intense.

While she was under no obligation to reveal that, it was incredibly brave for Bella to share that grim piece of her history.

Just as she was under no obligation to tell anyone that, she should not be pressured to name her molester. That is her business.

Bella followed up that revelation just a few minutes later with a tweet with which we can all agree:

“The world can be a sick place sometimes :/”

Sad that she had to reveal it in order to shut down a hateful troll.

To be clear, though some survivors of childhood sex abuse are what’s called hypersexual, others may be sex-repulsed, and others might be neither. It doesn’t mean that, say, a hypersexual survivor’s trauma was somehow less bad than a sex-repulsed survivor’s.

And, as anyone who endured childhood trauma can attest, one of the most frustrating things for survivors is wondering who they would be — how their personalities and their lives might be different — if they hadn’t endured X or Y.

Bella Thorne might be the talented and salacious actress she is if her life had gone differently. Or she might be very different. We don’t know. And she doesn’t know.

So let’s not dwell on maybes. Instead, if Bella Thorne chooses to share more, let’s listen to what she has to say.

Bella Thorne Mourns Ex-Boyfriend Lil Peep In Tearful Video

On Wednesday, the music world was shocked by news that Lil Peep had died of an apparent overdose.

Sadly, many who knew the rapper and singer were also aware of the drug problem that eventually claimed Peep"s life. 

But the advance knowledge that Peep (real name Gustav Ahr) was on a fatal collision course doesn"t appear to have lessened the grief experienced by his loved ones.

Among those who mourning Peep today is actress Bella Thorne.

Thorne and Peep dated briefly over the summer, and they remained close friends in the months after their breakup.

Thorne took to Instagram today to pay tribute to her departed companion.

“I just wanted to say anybody out there who is a Lil Peep fan, you guys know how talented he was, you guys know how great he was… well he was even more f—king great as a person,” says a teary-eyed Bella in the clip below.

Thorne paid tribute to the late 21-year-old on Twitter as well:

"Peep you deserved more out of life. Life didn"t do your greatness justice,” she wrote.

Eerily, Peep"s final tweet seemed to be a prediction of his own demise:

"When I die you"ll love me," the rapper wrote.

Our thoughts to go out to Peep"s friends and family in their time of grief.

Watch Bella pay tribute to her late friend below:

Bella Thorne: Is Her New Man Her Ex"s Best Friend? Yikes.

Does Bella Thorne have a new new man in her life?

No offense to Bella (and we mean that), but sometimes it can be really hard to keep track of her relationships. Especially when she doesn’t publicly confirm anything. We find ourselves wondering if licking someone else’s tongue indicates a relationship.

Well, now Bella is being associated with a new man and this might complicate her love life. Like, by a lot.

Bella Thorne can come across as a little attention-hungry sometimes, but you have to realize that she’s young (she only just turned 20 a mere 11 days ago!) and still early in her career and she has fans to accumulate and a brand to maintain.

The fact of the matter is that she’s easy to like.

She’s beautiful — like, really remarkably beautiful. Also sexy, which is in its own category and less universally accessible than beauty.

Also, “Bella Thorne” is possibly the best name that we have ever heard, ever, in our lives.

She’s also one of the few celebrities to actually say the word when coming out as bisexual. A lot of celebrities who are clearly bi or pan just say that they “love the person, not the gender,” or “don’t like labels,” or are “flexible” or whatever.

(The same is true of a lot of bi characters on television shows)

This is immensely frustrating for bi and pan members of the LGBT community, who would love more representation in the media and in celebrity culture but don’t find their labels being embraced.

(The “B” in LGBT doesn’t stand for “burritos,” folks)

And, oh by the way, Bella Thorne is a good actress.

Anyway, so long as you put Bella’s “thirsty” behavior like hanging with Scott Disick in its proper context — using his spotlight to garner a little more fame for herself — you realize that there’s a lot more depth to her than you might assume.

The reason that we’re bringing her up at the moment, however, is because some fans believe that she’s found a new man after they spotted this photo:

That guy’s name is Mod Sun, because sure, why not.

If you frequent forums or certain types of blogs, you might read this as a moderator named “Sun,” but it’s actually an acronym:

“Movement On Dreams, Stand Under None.”

Sure.

Anyway, Mod Sun is a rapper. And though the two of them just appear to be painting side-by-side, or something like  that, fans immediately wondered if Bella Thorne and Mod Sun were an item.

Bella Thorne’s replies have appeared to indicate this in the affirmative.

For example, one fan tweeted:

“honestly so sweet seeing @MODSUN with someone who loves and supports his art so much and he does the same for her and just 10/10 good s–t.”

Bella Thorne quoted the tweet, adding seven emojis that … well, we’re not Egyptologists by any means, but Bella seemed appreciative.

Some people, however, weren’t so pleased about this apparent relationship.

And they had just one reason: Blackbear.

Reportedly, Blackbear was Bella Thorne’s previous new man. As we told you at the time.

Now, if every time that people licked each other meant that they were dating, the world would be a different place and body shots of tequila would be a lot less casual.

It’s not just that Blackbear is another rapper — he’s good friends with Mod Sun.

Or, at least, he was. This new development between Mod Sun and Bella Thorne may have strained that.

On Wednesday, Blackbear tweeted some cryptic messages that, like all subtweets, could be about anything or anyone but … it doesn’t take a conspiracy theorist to connect them to his maybe ex dating his very good friend.

“Left with only pictures in my mind,” he tweeted early Wednesday morning, followed by:

“I wish we could be strangers again.”

That second one really sounds like it’s romance-related.

Blackbear also allegedly tweeted: “U don’t f–k ur best friend ex,” but though screencaps exist of the tweet, fake tweets are easy to make and there’s no sign of the tweet now.

Bella Thorne, in the mean time, shut down the idea that the situation was anything of the sort — because she appears to say that she and Blackbear were never an item like that.

Responding to a fan telling another fan that Bella and Blackbear had broken up, Bella said this:

“We didn’t break up cuz we were never like that. Just on some chill s–t.”

Is it possible that Bella and Blackbear had different ideas of what their relationship was and was not? Signs point to yes.

And what do we make of Bella Thorne’s other recent … tongue buddy?

If you’ll recall from when we told you about Bella Thorne being in a love triangle or a threesome or maybe something else, Bella’s been repeatedly looking very cozy with YouTuber Tana Mongeau.

We’ve heard a lot in recent months (and years) about racist or otherwise problematic YouTubers, but Tana Mongeau appears to be one of the good ones. She’s even taken a stand and called out other YouTubers for, well, being awful.

And she and Bella have not been shy about sharing photos and videos of them … licking each other.

How does Tana fit into all of this?

We have no idea.

But we hope that Bella and Tana are on the same page about whatever it is that they have going, because otherwise, Bella could be looking at two jealous exes and some sort of … love square?

Bella Thorne: Completely Nude, Still Thirsty AF

If you follow Bella Thorne on Instagram, you know that the woman is suffering from a serious clothing allergy.

We certainly don’t blame her, as she’s crazy hot and her comfort in front of the camera helped her amass an astonishing 16 million followers.

We thought we’d seen just about every inch of Bella (ya know, for research), but her latest pic is revealing even by her standards.

That’s Bella in the new issue of GQ: Mexico.

She posted the pic on Instagram, along with a lengthy caption about body positivity and the importance of overcoming insecurities:

“I specifically asked for no re touching on this photo, and lemme tell you I have insecurities, about pretty much everything. That’s natural & that’s human,” Bella wrote.

“You might look at this photo and think oh shush bella, but just know everytime someone looks in the mirror they simply don’t see what everyone else sees,” she added.

“Know that it’s completely normal to feel insecure and it’s accepted. honestly I wish everyone talked more about their insecurities so more people in the world could know they aren’t alone. That it’s ok.”

She concluded on a triumphant note, with a sternly-worded message to the haters:

“F-ck it I’m here to tell you that’s right I’m not F-CKING PERFECT. IM A HUMAN BEING AND IM REAL. So hip hop your asses over the fence and GET OVER IT.”

Well, Bella doesn’t really strike us as the insecure type, but it’s nice to see such a positive message about … sigh, do we have to do this again?

Does every risqué Instagram photo have to be couched in a message of body positivity now?

At this point, it would be more refreshing if a celebrity just said, “Thought I looked hot here. Enjoy!”

Don’t get us wrong – it’s important that young people get the message that everyone has flaws, and the more they’re able to accept their imperfections, the happier they’ll be.

That said, Bella posting a photo like this along with a lengthy message about self-acceptance is like Tom Brady delivering a stirring speech about how it’s okay to feel insecure about your ability to throw 60-yard touchdown in the clutch.

Easy for you to say, Tom! [weeps gently, throws tissue at wastebasket, misses by 8 feet]

Again, we think Bella had the best of intentions here, but posting a smoking hot photo of yourself and then patting yourself on the back for your bravery in doing so is some next-level narcissism.

This post should be in the Millennial Dictionary next to the word “humblebrag.”

But hey, at the end of the day, we’re just happy Bella’s not banging Scott Disick anymore.

Now, that’s something to take pride in!

Bella Thorne: In a Love Triangle ... or Feud ... or Maybe a Threesome?

Just this week, Bella Thorne has found herself in the center of a love triangle … or a feud … or possibly a threesome.

We’re not sure which.

And, frankly, we’re not even sure if she knows. Even with these photos, it’s complicated. Let’s take a look.

So, remember this guy? Bella Thorne’s new man?

He’s a rapper whose name is Blackbear.

As of early August of this year, these two were “acquainted.”

Neither of them ever actually confirmed if they were dating or not. But Bella’s 19, and that’s an age where “dating” is a label that you can give or take. You know, depending upon how formal you want your relationship to be.

But that was back in August, and it looks like Blackbear is yesterday’s news as far as Bella’s life is concerned.

We’ll explain who Tana Mongeau is in a moment, but here we see her with Bella Thorne.

That’s not generally how people kiss, but they’re clearly feeling all kinds of affectionate at what looks like a party.

(Honestly, face-licking is pretty standard fare at parties when you’re 19 or so. And they’re both 19)

Both Bella and Tana shared that first photo on Instagram.

But Tana shared a few more.

Before we get into this story, you should take a look. For context reasons.

See! They really do know how to kiss!

By the way, if Bella Thorne is wearing the outfit here that we think that she is, all that she has on under that jean jacket is a fishnet top and a pair of pasties over her nip nops.

If those pasties are even still on. We don’t know for sure!

Regardless, it’s great to see Bella Thorne rocking fishnets again and living her best life.

Sometimes, you laugh while you’re making out. Or having sex.

In both cases, the odds of that are considerably greater if you have an audience.

(These two clearly had an audience)

Anyway, we promised that we’d let you know who Tana Mongeau is.

Tana is a YouTuber. She’s actually only been actively uploaded to her YouTube channel for a couple of years, but she has a boatload of followers.

And no, it’s not just because she’s hot.

(Though yes, successful YouTubers as a general rule tend to be hotter than those who are Twitter-famous or Tumblr-famous. It’s a visual medium, folks)

Actually, Tana is really great. In an age where YouTube stars like PewDiePie keep being revealed to be racist douchebags, she makes a habit of standing up to other YouTubers.

In fact, she engaged in a seriously bitter feud with a YouTuber who used both the n-word and the r-slur regularly in his posts. He defended it saying that it was “for comedy,” but she didn’t back down.

The creepy guy even went to one of her shows just so that he could drop the n-bomb at a meet-and-greet, to her horror.

Anyway, Tana’s awesome.

We don’t know if she and Bella Thorne are, like, dating or if they just hooked up at a party.

(Like face-licking, that’s really not unusual. Again, that’s exactly what being 19 is for. Especially if you’re hot)

The pictures did not go unnoticed. Obviously.

Blackbear, who may have been Bella’s boyfriend or maybe was just a hookup or whatever, was among the people with eyes and internet access who took notice.

It probably didn’t help that Bella captioned her photo “Mmmmm tastes like candy.”

Or that Tana captioned hers “mineeee.”

Like, Tana sounds like she’s laying claim to Bella.

So, Blackbear tweeted an image including a headline about their kiss and a pic of the kiss itself, but in a roundabout way he said that it was “irrelevant.”

From just that, there’s no way of knowing whether he meant that the kiss was irrelevant to his relationship with Bella or whether Bella and Tana’s kiss wasn’t news or whether Bella and Tana themselves were irrelevant to the world or to his life.

But both young women replied to Blackbear.

Tana Mongeau tweeted:

“How irrelevant is it to u if ur tweeting about it tho.”

That’s a fair point. And a relatively gentle rebuttal.

Bella Thorne was a little less delicate:

“You didn’t seem upset when we talked 30 min ago about having a threesome lol.”

There’s no way of knowing whether this is a genuine conflict involving, ugh, hurt feelings … or if these are just three friends throwing some barbs at each other on Twitter.

But whatever’s going on, we wish Bella and Tana the best with … well, whatever they have going on.

Also, every bit of this only compounds or joy that Bella Thorne is done with Scott Disick.
