Bella Thorne is being accused of scamming thousands of people- Don’t look now, but there is a new celeb in hot water. This time its former Disney Star and Zendaya Co-star Bella Thorne who is being accused of scamming thousands of people.
If you watched Disney channel as a kid, you might remember Bella Thorne from “Shake it up Chicago”, where she starred alongside Zendaya.
While Zendaya has gone on to feature in several Marvel blockbusters and her own HBO series, Bella Thorne has taken a different route.
The 22-year-old is more known for her often messy relationships, bizarre nudie videos on Instagram and now, scamming thousands on Instagram and only fans.
Onlyfans is one of the most popular websites for content creators looking to earn directly from their fans through a monthly subscription. The platform has mostly been hijacked by sex workers. Running into a few scandals like their massive leak in 2020 here.
A few days ago, Bella Thorne announced starting an onlyfans account, alluding to an upcoming movie with director Sean Baker.

And a few days later, the internet found out how.

According to fans who had subscribed to her onlyfans account, she had sent out a message to subscribers offering a pay-per-view with full nudity for $200. This meant that subscribers who were interested could pay $200 to view a photo of her fully naked.
However, they quickly discovered this was a lie as the pay-per-view photos were sexy pictures with no nudity. Since this is literal false advertisement, upset fans quickly requested refunds from onlyfans, leading the platform to crash.
As a result, the platform put out a restriction that affected ALL onlyfans accounts and how they could get paid or tipped.
Let this video from a content creator on onlyfans posted to tiktok explain it to you more clearly.

Shortly after, the director she claimed she was going to work with came out with a statement on Twitter denying any project in the making with Bella Thorne.

She penned an “apology” on twitter with a new unsubstantiated claim that she was somehow in “talks” with Onlyfans CEOs about the platform which was received poorly on Twitter.
Ps. I’m meeting with only fans about the new restrictions to find out why!!! This is fucked up and I’m sorry comment any ideas or concerns you want brought up to OF!! and send me your links and a pic so I can promote you guys

Less than 24hours later, new accusations by a small business owner which a plethora of proof has gained tens of thousands of reshares across social media. The business owner has accused Bella Thorne of scamming her of over $1,500 dollars 4 months ago.
If you own a small business, my advice to you is that just because someone with a large following asks to collaborate, that doesn’t necessarily entail they will have integrity. Please be careful and remember your time, money & energy deserve to be preserved. No one deserves this.

So far, Bella Thorne has not responded to the accusations and apparently her sister is on social media adding more gas to the fire of Internet hate by some of her own comments condemning sex workers.
