Actress Bella Thorne has reignited a long-standing drama, publicly accusing singer Charlie Puth of spreading lies and orchestrating a “hate train” against her after she allegedly refused to sleep with him.
Old Drama, New Details
The accusation surfaced recently when a fan page shared a past quote from singer Jade Thirlwall (formerly of Little Mix), stating she would “never collaborate” with Charlie Puth. Bella Thorne then jumped into the comments section, adding a bombshell.
“Yeah, I mean… he lied to the entire world about me and started a hate train,” Thorne wrote. She claimed this all happened “All because I wouldn’t… do the deed with him.”
The 2016 Fallout
Thorne’s comments refer to a highly public fallout between the two back in December 2016. At the time, Bella and Charlie were briefly linked and even photographed kissing at Jingle Ball in Miami, where he serenaded her on stage.
However, the brief connection soured quickly. Charlie Puth took to Twitter, posting a series of now-deleted tweets implying Thorne was still with her ex, Tyler Posey, while also seeing him. “I can’t believe what I’m reading. No one should have their heart messed with like this, and I’m not going to be in the middle of it,” Puth had written, adding an apology to Posey.
He continued, “She told me she was not with him anymore. This is all news to me.” While Puth didn’t explicitly name Thorne, it was clear who he was referring to, sparking a wave of online backlash against the actress.
Bella Thorne’s Side of the Story
Bella Thorne quickly clapped back in 2016, stating that she and Tyler Posey had broken up weeks prior and that she wasn’t officially dating Charlie Puth either. She suggested Puth had seen an old article and reacted emotionally without verifying the information.
“Charlie and I AREN’T DATING. We are friends,” she tweeted at the time. “He saw an old article and got butthurt and didn’t ask me, just posted it.”
In 2017, Thorne elaborated on her perspective during an interview on “The Jenny McCarthy Show.” She explained that she was still heartbroken from her split with Posey when Puth reached out. They had gone on a few casual outings, like movies and dinners, and she respected him as an artist.
The Jingle Ball invitation led to public photos, but according to Thorne, Puth then saw an outdated article, jumped to conclusions, and publicly accused her of two-timing without speaking to her first.
Where They Stand Now
Years later, both Bella Thorne and Charlie Puth have moved on. Bella Thorne is now engaged to film producer Mark Emms.
Charlie Puth recently tied the knot with his longtime family friend, Brooke Sansone, in Montecito after a year-long engagement. This new revelation from Thorne brings old accusations back into the spotlight, stirring up past controversies.
- Bella Thorne claims Charlie Puth started a “hate train” against her for refusing intimacy.
- The original public drama between them unfolded in December 2016 over alleged cheating accusations.
- Thorne has consistently maintained she was not dating either Puth or her ex Tyler Posey at the time of Puth’s tweets.
