And it sounds cheesy, but it’s a reason for change.
Here are some of the personal, professional, and romantic highlights that have astonished her fans.
She and her three siblings have all been involved in acting and modeling from a young age.

She was only 6 weeks old when she appeared on the cover of Parents Magazine.
“I remember when I started first grade.
Right away, it was awful ‘cause I couldn’t read as well as the other kids.

My brain mixed up letters like B and D, and M and W,” she said.
Despite this setback, Thorne said that with practice, the experience made her more resilient.
“I never learned how to read and I learned how to read from reading scripts.

… Little kids growing up don’t need to see perfect people.
Kids need to see real.”
The actor’s issues with “Shake It Up” weren’t just about her image either.

That fed into our heads.
It made us not [be] friends in that first season," Thorne said.
Luckily, the dancing duo eventually grew close and remain supportive of one another.

“I didn’t think things were going to go down like that.
And then half of me is like, ‘Come on, Bella.
Look at your whole life.

Don’t be naive.
You knew somewhere deep down inside things were not right,'” she stated.
“Hopefully, this movie will change people and make kids more aware of what they are doing.

I am trying to change the world, little by little, but I am still me.
I’m only 17 and I’m going to make mistakes,” Thorne explained.
I woulda liked a phone call maybe," Thorne tweeted in response.

It was a surprising revelation, and her fans were quick to comment with support.
In October 2018, Thorne spoke with the Los Angeles Times about the extent of Freeform’s alleged behavior.
Thorne added that Freeform referred to her as “ugly” in emails and on set.

She had previously released three young adult novels in her “Autumn Falls” series between 2014 and 2016.
I definitely do feel different, I feel lighter, my mind feels lighter, I feel happier."
She explained, “Directing has always been something that I’ve just loved.

When I’m on set, I’m behind the camera.
I’m asking the D.P.
It’s because me and Abella; it’s girl on girl.

Is there a world where it’s me and a man and it doesn’t get taken down?
Because that, I think, is very possible,” Thorne stated.
What are the ins and outs?

What does a platform like this do to its users?
… How far are you willing to go and how far do you want to go?
This led the website to make changes like capping tip amounts and decreasing pay frequency to its users.

She was also even engaged to musician Benjamin Mascolo.
“It was love at first sight as the sun rose,” Thorne toldVogue.
