Bella Thorne shares heartbreaking childhood sexual abuse story on Instagram
Actress Bella Thorne, who tweeted in 2017 that she was molested, has elaborated in an Instagram post tied to Sunday's Golden Globes and the Time's Up initiative in Hollywood and beyond.
"Over and over I waited for it to stop and finally it did," she wrote of her childhood abuse. "But some of us aren't as lucky to get out alive. Please today stand up for every soul Mistreated."
Thorne shared an Instagram post Sunday evening which said she was physically and sexually abused until age 14, "...when I finally had the courage to lock my door at night and sit by it."
Thorne has most recently appeared on the TV series Famous in Love and has several films scheduled for release in 2018. She chose not to name her abuser.
