00:00We got into it, like hashed it out, and it was so beautiful. It was my first experience woman-to
00:07-woman, girl-to-girl, where you actually can speak and you can both be heard.
00:14Bella Thorne is looking back at some of the biggest moments of her life and career during a candid appearance
00:19on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
00:20From her Disney Channel days with Zendaya, to a shocking cheating discovery and the fallout from her nude photo leak,
00:27here's what she had to say.
00:28One of the biggest revelations centered on her relationship with former Shake It Up co-star Zendaya.
00:33Thorne said the two were repeatedly pitted against each other while starring on the Disney Channel series, even though they
00:39were only around 12 years old and played best friends on screen.
00:42According to Thorne, the pressure eventually took a toll on their friendship, but while filming the Good Luck Charlie crossover
00:48episode, the pair secretly left the set during a break to have an honest conversation.
00:52She said they talked through everything they had been experiencing behind the scenes and came away with a much better
00:58understanding of each other.
00:59Thorne described it as one of the most meaningful conversations she's ever had with another young woman and said it
01:04helped her repair their friendship.
01:06She also reflected on the pressures of growing up as a child star, saying she was expected to work adult
01:11hours and handle adult situations at a very young age, while also helping support her family.
01:16Thorne also opened up about a painful chapter in her personal life, revealing how she uncovered an ex-fiance's alleged
01:22cheating while filming a movie overseas.
01:24She claimed that after he gave her access to his Instagram account, she found messages written in another language.
01:30With help from Google Translate and even an Italian-speaking server who translated voice messages, she said she eventually learned
01:37the extent of the alleged betrayal.
01:39Thorne said the couple went through therapy after the discovery, but the relationship ultimately ended.
01:44She also claimed her ex later admitted in a letter that he had been unfaithful throughout their relationship, though she
01:49did not identify him by name.
01:51The actress also revisited one of the most difficult moments of her career, the 2019 incident in which she released
01:57her own nude photos after alleging someone tried to blackmail her.
02:01Thorne said she wanted to take back control before the images could be leaked against her will.
02:05But she admitted the public's reaction was even more painful than the attempted extortion, saying accusations that she staged the
02:12incident for attention really, really broke her.
02:15She also revealed that the FBI later contacted her, collected evidence from her home, and investigated the case.
02:21Thorne said she believes the screenshots that she shared publicly helped investigators identify the suspect.
02:26Now 28, Thorne says she's gained perspective on many of those experiences, offering an honest look at the highs and
02:33lows of growing up in the spotlight.
02:35All right.
