Bella Thorne catches a lot of heat for her lifestyle and the way she dresses, but considering her age and the fact that she lives in the public eye I think she’s handling things pretty darn well. She’s not breaking any laws. She’s not getting into stupid celebrity beefs. Much like someone else her age, Ariel Winter, she’s just being herself. So I am not sure why anyone has a problem with her. Oh yeah, now I remember. People live to complain about other people. How could I have forgotten?
Thorne’s latest photo shoot for GQ Mexico is one more example of how she manages to both be herself (much to her haters’ chagrin) and still be a role model to those who idolize her. On one of the photos from the shoot, where Thorne posed wearing nothing but a pair of shoes, she captioned it with this important message…
“I specifically asked for no re touching on this photo, and lemme tell you I have insecurities, about pretty much everything. That’s natural & that’s human.
You might look at this photo and think oh shush bella, but just know everytime someone looks in the mirror they simply don’t see what everyone else sees. Know that it’s completely normal to feel insecure and it’s accepted. honestly I wish everyone talked more about their insecurities so more people in the world could know they aren’t alone. That it’s ok.
As a public persona you know naturally that everytime you shoot with a magazine there is always small retouching. Cuz yeah if they show my acne scars or a wrinkle in my forehead or my teeth aren’t perfectly white, people will look at the photo and say no she’s not perfect and usually most people don’t want the public trashing and I get it, But fuck it I’m here to tell you that’s right I’m not FUCKING PERFECT. IM A HUMAN BEING AND IM REAL.”
While her message is most certainly a good one (round of applause, please), some have taken issue with her by pointing out that it’s easy to say and do what Thorne did there when you’re young and obviously in tremendous shape. Now I don’t know if she truly meant it (I think she did), was just looking for a pat on the back or if it was just one giant humblebrag, all that really matters is that what she said is 100% true.
Here are some photos from the rest of her new shoot…

Of course, this being a Bella Thorne photo shoot, there were a few things I can’t share with you here. Like this, this and this, for example.
To make up for those omissions, here are some more recent highlights from Thorne’s always entertaining Instagram…
You keep doing you, Bella. F the haters.
