Bella Thorne has the support of celebrity friends like Zendaya in the midst of her feud with Whoopi Goldberg over the nude photo leak scandal.
The Assassination Nation actress is publicly feuding with Whoopi, 63, after The View host criticised Bella for leaking her own topless photos after being threatened by a hacker.
But Bella isn’t alone during her ordeal and is grateful for the support from Spider-Man actress Zendaya, who reportedly reached out to her friend in her time of need.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Bella said: ‘All u need is support to be brave part two. @zendaya called me today to make sure I was ok, we talked a lot about this generation, the one before us as well, and how as women we shouldn’t feel bad about ourselves our bodies.
‘Slut shaming is one of the biggest topics of this generation but yet we still keep going some how. It’s really really sad.’
The 21-year-old rounded off the post with: ‘🚫 the view [sic],’ in reference to her boycott of Whoopi’s daytime talk show The View which she is now refusing to appear on.
It comes after Whoopi addressed Bella leaking the nude photos and told viewers on Monday: ‘You don’t do that.

‘Listen… when they’re hacking you, they’re hacking all of your stuff…whether its one picture or a million pictures… once you take that picture it goes into the cloud and it’s available to any hacker that 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. You cannot be surprised that someone hacks you.’
Bella responded in a tearful video slamming Whoopi for making her feel ‘pretty disgusting’.
The actress explained: ‘Shame on you Whoopi. ‘Shame on you for putting that public opinion out there like that for every young girl to think that they’re disgusting for even taking a photo like that. Shame on you.
‘I’m not gonna lie, I want to say I feel pretty disgusting, ya know… I feel pretty disgusting, Whoopi.’
Announcing her boycott of The View, Bella added: ‘And I don’t really want to go on the View anymore cause I don’t really want to be beaten down by a bunch of older women for my body and my sexuality and I don’t really feel like that and so I’m gonna cancel my interview.’
