Former Disney star Bella Thorne called out Whoopi Goldberg after The View host criticized her for keeping nudes on her phone.
Thorne recently released her own nude photos on Twitter after a hacker attempted to blackmail her with the images. Thorne shared the photos along with messages from the failed extortionist, explaining that she shared the photos to snatch the power back from a man who was trying to harm her.
“For too long I let a man take advantage of me over and over and I’m fucking sick of it," wrote Thorne, who has previously admitted to being sexually abused as a child. "I’m putting this out because it’s my decision. Now you don’t get to take yet another thing from me. I can sleep better knowing I took my power back. You can’t control my life, you never will."
Goldberg saw this and said that people, particularly those that are famous, who have nudes on their phone is asking for trouble, which caused an emotional Thorne to chastise Whoopi and vow to never appear on The View.
"Once you take that picture, it goes into the cloud and it's available to any hacker who wants it, and if you don't know that in 2019, that this is an issue, I'm sorry, you don't get to do that," Goldberg said on the show.
