“U don’t get to take yet another thing from me.”
Bella Thorne has shared her own nudes on Twitter after a hacker threatened to release them.
The model had her private information compromised over the weekend by a man who threatened to post her nudes online without her consent.
Thorne said that she decided to share the photos herself “knowing I took my power back.”
“For the last 24 hours I have been threatened with my own nudes,” she wrote.
“I feel gross, I feel watched, I feel someone has taken something from me that I only wanted one special person to see.
“For too long I let a man take advantage of me over and over and I’m fucking sick of it. I’m putting this out now because it’s it’s MY DECISION. NOW U DON’T GET TO TAKE YET ANOTHER THING FROM ME.”
Along with the images, Thorne also shared screenshots of the hacker’s messages to her where he wrote: “YO BELLA” and “Got all the videos.”
Thorne added that she had spent the last day crying instead of focusing on her new book and that the FBI were going to be at the hacker’s house soon, “so watch. Your. Mother. Fuckin. Back”
“I can sleep better knowing I took my power back,” she said. “U can’t control my life u never will.”
Last year, Thorne revealed that she had been sexually abused as a child.
During the #TimesUp movement, she wrote that she had experienced sexual and physical abuse growing up until she “… had the courage to lock my door at night.”
“I was sexually abused and physically growing up from the day I can remember till I was 14,” she said.
“When I finally had the courage to lock my door at night and sit by it. All damn night. Waiting for someone to take advantage of my life again.
“Over and over I waited for it to stop and finally it did. But some of us aren’t as lucky to get out alive. Please today stand up for every soul Mistreated #timesup.”
