Bella Thorne Fan Begs Her To Sign Underage Underwear Photo, She Tells Him Off

by

Like most former Disney Channel stars, Bella Thorne’s career has had its share of ups and downs. As of late, the Shake It Up alum appears to be happier and healthier than ever. Still, that doesn’t mean she isn’t sometimes faced with unfortunate blasts from the past. In fact, many of them force her to recall her past mistakes. During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she candidly spoke about how she addresses these situations, and the feelings she’s left with as a result.

Throughout their chat, the famous redhead spoke about everything from attending the Roberto Cavalli runway to her most recent film projects. What really caught readers’ attention, though, was when Thorne discussed her decision to refuse to sign provocative photos previously taken of her when she was underage. Specifically, the GQ shoot she did as a teenager has recently been causing her some problems.

Bella Sets Her Boundaries

Before she launched into the story, THR‘s journalist asked the 25-year-old if she’s often bothered by fans hounding her for autographs. “I don’t really care but I did tell someone off yesterday,” she confessed. “I normally don’t tell them off but they offended me. It was this guy and he was shoving photos in front of me,” the actress shared, noting that she looked away for one second and when her eyes returned, she saw the controversial cover.

“It’s super sexy and my butt is out and I’m wearing lingerie and I’m topless. I said I wouldn’t sign that. He took it away and then put it back in front of me again,” Thorne explained. Afterward, the man apparently pulled out yet another provocative image of her, begging for a signature. “I didn’t like it. It was inappropriate. There was some stuff there from a Candies campaign that I did when I was 16. It was clear that he wanted me to sign things that were viewed as sexy and even underage,” she vented.

Bella’s Industry Battles

As someone who spent most of her life in the industry, Thorne says she understands the business, but still doesn’t feel great about her role in it. “Enough is enough. But I get it, they have to make money and everyone has a job so I get that. It was just that I was under 18 and it’s inappropriate,” she told THR earlier this month.

Elsewhere in the interview, the Florida native admitted that, in hindsight, she wouldn’t make the same choices she did earlier in her career. Still, she doesn’t want to spend too much of her time reflecting on the past. “You also can’t spend your time trying to take back these moments or moments that you were too sexy or think that being a woman is only this or that,” she advised readers.

Iggy Azalea Opens Up About “Volatile Relationship” With Playboi Carti

by

Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti kept their relationship rather lowkey throughout its duration. And while Iggy’s made a few statements in recent times, she never went into too much detail surrounding their co-parenting relationship or what led to their breakup. However, she’s suggested on numerous occasions that it was in part to how Playboi Carti treated her. She claimed that Carti refused to sign the birth certificate. Additionally, she alleged that he cheated on her and missed the birth of her son entirely.

Last week, she shared even more shocking details after reports of Carti’s December arrest. The police said they arrested Carti for assault after he allegedly got violent with his girlfriend over a paternity test. “Imagine having a pregnant girlfriend and pretending they don’t exist until it comes out you like to abuse them too,” she tweeted. “& rarely visiting your actual son unless [it’s] because you’re running from whatever problems ya got going on in Atlanta & the press with your serial abuse of [women].”

Iggy Azalea Details What Led To Playboi Carti Break-Up

Iggy recently appeared on the EmRata podcast where she opened up about her relationship status, as well as her split with Playboi Carti. She said that she dated a little bit last year but she has been single since her and Carti’s split in 2020. “Like, right after I had my son, I left his father,” she said. “Something happened one day with my son’s father and me and it was just one of those moments where you’re just like, ‘I didn’t wake up thinking this is what my day would be.’ But by the end of the day, I was on a plane to Los Angeles and I never went back.”

She added that she and Carti had a “volatile relationship” that she knew “wasn’t working” for them. “I didn’t think I was going to be leaving when I left,” she said before admitting that she felt some sort of responsibility to keep their family together. “My father and my mother had such a volatile relationship that I wish I had seen less of it. And so that was what happened to me in that moment that I had on that day. I was like, I will never let my son see this because I don’t want him to see someone talk to me this way too but because I don’t want him to ever learn this, I don’t want him to be exposed to this.” Check out the episode above. 

Bam Margera’s Wife Files For Divorce

by

Bam Margera’s wife, Nicole “Nikki” Boyd, has filed for divorce from the Jackass star. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation, which was filed on Tuesday. In court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Boyd noted that they split up unofficially on Sept. 14, 2021. Additionally, she’s seeking legal and physical custody of their 5-year-old son, Phoenix. However, Boyd wants her ex to have visitation rights in Los Angeles. Boyd is also requesting spousal support and for Margera to cover her attorney’s fees.

“Nikki Margera felt compelled to file for legal separation from her husband, Bam Margera, due to his continuing drug and alcohol abuse, erratic behavior, and due to his failure to provide support for her and their son,” Boyd’s attorney David Glass said in a statement provided to PEOPLE. “Nikki has put everything she has into trying to get Bam to stay sober, and to trying to preserve her family.”

Margera and Boyd married in October 2013. Their divorce comes after a series of legal issues for Margera. He has also been in and out of rehab for years. After Margera spent time in rehab, last year, Boyd said in a statement: “We love Bam, both as a husband and father. We pray that he will give it all he has this time at this new rehab facility so he can complete his treatment and come home to the family that loves him.” Margera was also previously married to Missy Rothstein from 2007 to 2012.

Margera recently hit the road with his Jackass partner, Steve-O, for the latter’s comedy tour. Afterward, Margera posted a rant on Instagram calling out Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine. Steve-O replied to the post by pleading with him to get sober. “You say you want to have a relationship with your son, but your actions guarantee the exact opposite will happen,” Steve-O wrote. “I brought you on tour with me in hopes that I could get you to see what’s possible for you if you choose recovery.”

Da Brat is expecting a child! The 48-year-old Chicago-born rapper and her wife Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart, exclusively reveal the pregnancy to PEOPLE magazine.

“It’s been quite a journey, there’s a lot of stuff we learned about women over the age of 40,” Da Brat said.

“It started as a joke, we were like, ‘We’re extending our family!’” Harris-Dupart said. “But then we got a huge response. It was like, ‘Oh my God do we want to actually have kids, and if we do, girl, we better hurry up!’”

Harris-Dupart is a previous mother of three, Da Brat stated a child is a life surprise for her. “I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me. I’ve had a great career, a full life. I felt like, because I didn’t get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn’t going to happen for me.”

She added her wife changed her perspective, “I was like, I want a little me with you. Something special from the both of us that we can share and raise and love unconditionally.”

Da Brat and her fiancee Jessica “Judy” Depart, officially tied the knot on 2/22/22. According to PEOPLE, the two chose the special date for their Georgia-based event.

The wedding was held at the Horse Mansion in Fairburn, GA, with 100 guests attending, including Jermaine Dupri, Lisa Ray McCoy, Eva Marcille, Rickey Smiley, and more.

After the ceremony, Da Brat told PEOPLE that she was thrilled to call Dupart her wife while revealing before the wedding the tandem had “so many things going on, and so many decisions to make.”

“Everything about her made me want her to be mine forever,” Da Brat said. “And I felt like I knew it not much longer than from the day we met.”
