Everything You Need To Know About Bella Thorne

Bella Thorne might be the most loved or the most hated person on the internet. The 21-year-old former Disney star has been the source of much drama over the last few years. After starring in Shake It Up! and growing up in the limelight, Thorne has had a very successful career with her former Freeform show Famous in Love and films like Midnight Sun and Assassination Nation. She’s been in five movies in 2018 alone, and that doesn’t include her TV show or the many music videos she’s been in (check out Liam Payne’s “Bedroom Floor” for a sample of her work).

Speaking of music, she’s also been doing some of her own, which has to be heard (and seen) to be believed. If you haven’t checked out “Bitch I’m Bella Thorne” yet, what have you been doing with your 2018? While Thorne clearly works hard, she also plays hard. Her social media—Twitter, Instagram, and Cameo—is a mix of her work and her turn up, which includes pics of her current boyfriend Mod Sun and girlfriend Tana Mongeau.

However, a lot of her personal life has overshadowed the hard work that she’s accomplished, between her “thing” with Scott Disick, her risque social media presence, and general outspoken behavior.
