Who the hell is Bella Thorne?

I have no idea who this person is. All I know is that she posted nekid photos on the internet and Whoopi Goldberg made her cry about it.

What the hell??? What am I missing here?

If you want to post nekid pictures of yourself, more power to you. So … why did Woopie make her cry?

I don’t know who she is but maybe Whoopi sent nekid pics of herself, to this woman, and that’s what made her cry. It would make me cry, especially after flushing my eyes with bleach

“I have no idea who this person is.”

You could have just said, “I am old, damn kids these days, world going to hell in a handbasket.”

She was on some Disney show my kids watched. This post makes me feel more old and creepy than Selena Gomez or grande whatever if that gives you reference.

You just made my brain cry. Naked Whoopi.
And now it’s burning from the mental bleach I’ve applied.

Bella should challenge her to a cage match.

She cried because someone had the audacity to criticize her and point out that she’s an idiot to expect electronic privacy in this era of the Fappening, etc. It’s sourced in this weird zero-sum world of “victim shaming” in which if one points out how maybe the victim could have avoided the harm then one will be equated with the perpetrator of said harm. It’s also this weird thing of intentionally misconstruing someone’s critical words in order to make the words seem far worse than they were. For example, Whoopi basically said “be mindful of your surroundings,” but one of Thorne’s retorts included a statement that such criticism makes the victim feel “disgusting,” and that taking such photos renders them deserving of those photos being leaked.

I.e., spot-on criticism hurts her feelings.

Or did you mean “who’s Bella Thorne?” as in “why is she famous?” I have no clue. I can’t help you there. I’d never heard of her until the past day or two.

Disney Channel. I can tell you don’t have kids.

Well, that’s what I thought at first, but, surprisingly, I keep up with most of this stuff. This one, however, is beyond me.

Ah! So, was she hacked or did she post these on her own? I kinda see what Whoopie is saying. I don’t know why famous people take neked pictures of themselves then acted shocked when they are “hacked.”

I realize I am old (supposedly, I’m almost dead at 48), but, I don’t quite understand neked pictures. I didn’t ever want neked pictures of my girlfriends. Why do I need pictures when they are neked when we are together???

Grown up and out of the house. Yep!

To be honest I only knew who she was because she kept getting referenced on Buzzfeed and I hit the Google’s a while back. :slight_smile:

Sigh. Engage incognito googling

In a nutshell, she took the pictures. They made it to the cloud, I guess through automatic saving like iPhone does. Some hacker got them and threatened to release them. She then released them voluntarily herself in an effort to “take back the power” from the hacker. One can decide for one’s self whether or not she succeeded. Nevertheless, in describing the situation, she seemed surprised/shocked that this whole sordid affair was happening to her. Whoopi expressed surprise that in this day and age, anyone, much less a celebrity, could be surprised that a hacker managed to get a hold of nude photos taken by the celebrity and suggested that Bella should have known better. Cue the “victim blaming” accusers chiming in.

There’s your story. FWIW, I have a 7-year old daughter who watches a lot of Disney stuff, past and present. I’ve never heard of this girl.

You want to see what happens when you take nekkid pictures and get hacked, check out Charissa Thompson of NFL on Fox fame. she’s local to here so word spread pretty quickly. She pretty much went into a cave on social media afterward.

maybe it’s a VIP thing. Anybody in the universe can have a pic of Bella or whoever instantly.

Access to the nekkid is exclusive (or so the stars think). It’s a commodity for very special people only.

Until a hacker gets it. Which I’d honestly love to know more about, how they do it and such.

I think she could use a sandwich. Or three.

There have been two wide scale “hacks” of celebrity accounts that have resulted in nudes being found and disseminated. The first was dubbed “The Fappening” and the second was “The Fappening 2.0.” The first one was the result of phishing scams, in which the celebs received an e-mail purporting to be from Apple or Gmail and asking for things like usernames and passwords and to which the celebs responded. I’m not sure how 2.0 came about but I think it was the same or similar.

The “hackers” (I don’t really consider phishers to be hackers; rather, they’re just scammers) used the ill-gotten information to access celebs’ webmail or iCloud and other cloud-based accounts where photos on things like iPhones are backed up (usually without the phone’s owner’s knowledge, or if the owner knows then the owner usually doesn’t know how to manage the backup such that those pics wouldn’t be stored in the cloud). The scammer then simply downloads the pics and posts them somewhere. I believe that in the initial days of the Fappening, the pics were behind a paywall for which cryptocurrency was paid to access them. Eventually, the pics made it out into the wild and are widely available now.

On a personal note, I’ve never quite thought of Hope Solo the same since her pics got out. (I mean, I just heard about the pics, I didn’t actually see them…)
