Bella Thorne called out "inappropriate" sexualization of herself as a minor as she attended the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
Thorne, 25, claimed a man looking to get her autograph on a bunch of items only wanted her to sign "sexy" images of her — which included one of her at 16 years old. "I normally don’t tell them off but they offended me," Thorne explained after being asked about the group of autograph seekers while being interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter. "It was this guy and he was shoving photos in front of me and I looked away for a second and looked back and there was a photo of me from my GQ magazine cover." "It’s super sexy and my butt is out and I’m wearing lingerie and I’m topless," she added. "I said I wouldn’t sign that and he took it away and then put it back in front of me again.
I said, ‘No, I’m not signing that.’ He pulled out another photo of a magazine with another sexy image. He was like, ‘Come on, Bella.
Sign it for me.’ I didn’t like it. It was inappropriate." Thorne emphasized that she doesn't necessarily care about signing autographs for people, but she took issue with the specific images of herself that he wanted to be signed. "There was some stuff there from a Candies campaign that I did when I was 16 and it was clear that he wanted me to sign things that were viewed as sexy and even underage and I was like, ‘Give me something else.’ He said, ‘Aren’t they all sexy?’ No, enough is enough," she continued. "But I get it, they have to make money and everyone has a job so I get that.
