\tBella Thorne was a staple on the Disney Channel for many years, but the \u201cShake It Up\u201d star apparently almost lost her job when she was 14.<\/p>\n

\n

\tDuring Tuesday’s episode of Emily Ratajkowski’s \u201cHigh Low With EmRata\u201d podcast, Thorne opened up about many instances where she felt she was sexualized as a young girl.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cOne time I almost got fired off the Disney Channel because I was 14, and I wore a two-piece on the beach,\u201d Thorne said. \u201cThis stylist that I was hanging out with put this chain on me that’s, like, a body chain. I don’t know? I do not care. There was a fan, they got a photo of me on the beach. I almost got fired. It was all over the media, it was literally viral in that time. It was, ‘How dare this little girl do this? This is so disgusting.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tThorne, who starred opposite Zendaya on \u201cShake It Up\u201d from 2010 to 2013, explained that people were \u201cputting Disney under pressure\u201d to fire her, but ultimately they didn’t. \u201cThey were like, ‘Hey, we’re getting a lot of heat for this. Everyone’s getting heat for this because you’re in a bikini on a beach, so she needs to make sure she goes out in boy shorts and a loose t-shirt next time she’s at the beach.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tDuring the episode, the actor, 25, also recounted a disturbing situation that happened four years before that.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI had a director give me feedback once and I was 10. The casting director calls my agent and the agent calls my mom, and they’re like, ‘So she’s not moving forward because the director felt like she was flirting with him, and it made him really uncomfortable,’\u201d Thorne said. \u201cWhat the fuck are you talking about, man?! I don’t give a fuck what the fuck I said! I don’t care if I said, ‘Eat my pussy right now!’ She is 10 years old. Why would you ever think that?\u201d<\/p>\n
