This is not Bella's week.
After being blackmailed by a hacker that gained access to nude photos of her, Bella Thorne is being dragged by Whoopi Goldberg for taking the photos in the first place.
Thorne is a singer, model, and actress best known for her days on Disney's Shake It Up, where she co-starred with Zendaya.
Thorne is the author of the Autumn Falls trilogy, and just released The Life of a Wannabe Mogul: Mental Disarray, a book of poetry chronicling her personal struggles, relationships, and everything to do with fame.
It looks like Bella might have some new inspiration for her follow-up book.
But Bella was not about to let that happen.
She shared screenshots of the hacker texting her, along with all of the nude photos, and this note — calling them out.
Obviously, this is a pretty narrow, dated way to look at the situation.
When the topic was brought up on The View, Whoopi took an unexpected stance — essentially blaming Bella for getting herself into this mess.
But Whoopi challenged that.
"Listen, if you're famous, I don't care how old you are, you don't take nude pictures of yourself," she argued.
"So, whether it's one picture or a million pictures, once you take that picture, it goes into the cloud, and it's available to any hacker who wants it."
"You cannot be surprised that someone has hacked you. Especially if you have stuff on your phone, that's why they're hacking you," she concluded.
Some people agreed that Thorne should've known better than to share any pictures that she wouldn't want leaked publicly, since that's just how the Internet works now.
Like this Twitter user, who implied this was simply Thorne's way of garnering publicity and that she just wanted to be a victim.
Some people thought that while women should be allowed to do what they wish with photos of their own body and still be able to expect privacy, there were different rules for people who were famous.
Tons of fans flooded her Twitter replies with messages of love and support, saying that she had nothing to be ashamed about, and that her taking the power away from the hacker was inspiring.
Like this 60-year-old father, who applauded Bella's strength and said he was standing at her side through all of this. His kids are really lucky to have such a supportive and understanding father!
She called out Whoopi in a note and a tearful video.
"Blaming girls for taking the photo in the first place? Is sick and honestly disgusting," she went on. "So what a girl can't send her boyfriend that she misses photos of her that are sexy?"
"Is that what u want? I don't. I'm offended for anyone out there that has ever taken a sexy photo," she wrote.
"I am offended for every person who has committed suicide for someone leaking their nudes."
"Ur view on this matter is honestly awful and I hope u change ur mind set as u are on a show talking to young girls," she concluded.
"I just wanna say that me watching this interview made me feel really bad about myself," she said.
She added that she will be canceling her interview on "The View" going forward to avoid being "beaten down by a bunch of older women."
"Saying if you take a sexy photo then it basically deserves to get leaked, like, don't be surprised at all and don't feel sorry for yourself," she continued.
"I don't really want to go on 'The View' anymore because I don't really want to be beaten down by a bunch of older women for my body and my sexuality," Thorne said in the video.
"Because to me, I see those two things as really [expletive] similar," she concluded.
Hopefully, Bella was able to reach Whoopi and offer another perspective.
