Bella Thorne had no choice today. Instagram's no-nudity rules are strict, and the 23-year-old wasn't going to risk having the social media platform sticking her on a black-list. The actress, singer, and "Life of a Wannabe Mogul" author kicked Friday off to a multi-faceted start on her stories, posting for her 24.3 million followers and sharing everything from her nails and Bernie Sanders content to a racy topless shot, one that the former Disney star ensured didn't break any rules.

Scroll for the action. Bella, reposting from her popular TikTok account, shared a reaction video, and it was one involving very little clothing. The "Infamous" star, infamous for self-posting nudes in 2019 as she alleged a hacker was threatening to release naked images of her, first appeared close up and looking "TikTok shocked."
Bella, seen in a sweater, wrote it was one of her "favorite" SFB moments. That would be her recently-released "Stupid F-cking B-tch" single. Fans then saw what Thorne was reacting to.

The photo, showing Bella in selfie mode and with her white shirt fully lifted, came with all the important bits blanked out. Bella had used thick white lines to protect her modesty, but it didn't stop there. The star was pointing out just why the image was causing an oops. Yup, it was a text exchange with her mom, with Bella's mother having sent a dog photo. Bella replied with her topless selfie, with a reply reading:
"Honey, I don't think you meant this for me..."

In 2019, Bella fronted media outlets for beating the alleged hacker to it. Those were totally explicit, with Thorne writing: "Yesterday, as you all know, my s--t was hacked."
"For the last 24 hours I have been threatened with my own nudes - I feel gross, I feel watched, I feel someone has taken something from me that I only wanted one special person to see."
"He has sent me multiple nude photos of other celebs, he won't stop with me or them he will just keep going," Bella added.

2020, meanwhile, brought Bella back in the news for her OnlyFans join. The August sign-up to the adult subscription site both crashed the platform and earned Bella $1 million in 24 hours, but there was a massive scandal as sex workers accused Thorne of swiping their income. Shortly after Bella's join, OnlyFans introduced a $100 tipping cap.
Bella also proved unpopular for charging $200 for nudes that weren't nude. She later made headlines for apologizing to sex workers, also defending her presence on OF.
