During her appearance on Emily Ratajkowski’s podcast, “High Low,” Thorne revealed that showrunners at Disney nearly fired her for wearing a bikini to the beach when she was a teenager.
At the time, the ex-kid shared that he starred in the channel’s hit show “Shake It Up” and was much talked about by the younger generation back then. However, when she wore the skimpy outfit to the beach, she received a barrage of criticism from the public.
“One time I almost got fired from the Disney Channel because I was 14, and I was wearing a two-piece at the beach,” Thorne revealed during her discussion with her host, per Insider. “There were fans, they got pictures of me on the beach.”
He added, “I almost got fired. It was all over the media, it was really viral at the time. It was, ‘How dare this little girl do this? This is so disgusting.’”

Speaking further about the controversial episode, Thorne said that the criticism she received surprised her because, when she lived in Florida, she used to change topless on the beach “until we got to a certain age.”
The “Midnight Sun” actor said, “[They were] blamed me and put Disney under pressure to fire me. And obviously, Disney didn’t fire me. And they were like ‘Hey, we’re getting hot for this …. so she needs to make sure she goes out in boy shorts and a baggy T-shirt the next time she goes to the beach.’”
Elsewhere in the interview, Thorne recalls another controversial situation in which she ended up losing a role because the then-director claimed he flirted with her and made her uncomfortable.
Referring to an incident that happened when he was ten years old, Thorne said, “I don’t care what I say. I don’t care if I say, ‘Eat my pussy now’ — she’s 10! Why do you ever think that? Why?”

For Thorne, this incident and being sexually abused at a young age made her “very scared” of giving birth to a daughter in the near future.
“How do you tell your little girl that every day she leaves the house that, one, she might be raped? Two, don’t trust anyone,” the “Dirty Sexy Money” star said, “And third, every time you get dressed in the morning, you’ll think about how you’re not pretty enough for this or sexy enough for this, or, ‘Why are you so hot? You’re too young,’ but also sexy.”
He added: “How do you have a conversation with your daughter? Because it’s so bad, and I really don’t think I want to have that conversation.”

The actress has chronicled her sexual abuse incident in a heartbreaking poem for her memoir, The Life of a Wannabe Mogul: Mental Chaos.
“He didn’t have to deal with the times he molested me, / he didn’t deal with the times I was embarrassed or disgusted,” the 21-year-old said emotionally about the molestation, which happened until he was 14, per Insider.
He cited Stockholm syndrome, a phenomenon in which a victim develops a bond with their oppressor, as the reason he allowed the torture to continue for so long.
“Put trust or love in you / the kidnapper because that’s the only way you can deal with the situation in front of / you,” he added. “The only way I can deal with it, I think, is to love him / love his brutal nature. Hate what he did to me / but try to convince myself that I like him.
