Actress Bella Thorne has blamed reported ex Charlie Puth for ruining her life by suggesting she was double dating him and actor Tyler Posey last year (16).
The 19-year-old Blended star received death threats following the relationship drama in December (16), when some of Posey’s fans were convinced she was cheating on him.
And, in a new Harper’s Bazaar interview, she admits Puth really didn’t help matters.
“Charlie thought I was spending the holiday with Tyler and he tweeted all this s**t making me look like a cheater and a whore,” she explains. “I had to basically bang down his door, calling him like, ‘What the f**k are these tweets…?’
“This guy is publicly slandering my name and making me seem like I’m a whore. I’m a woman, I have the right to date around. If I want to go out with you I can, and if I don’t, I’m not going to. You can’t just do that to people.”
The teenager admitted the drama really took a toll on her and she is desperate to return to a positive place in her life.
“I was in a happier place (a while ago) than I had been recently and now I’m back to a happier place,” she told People magazine. “I went through a breakup and that was kind of tough… Fans, if you’re just seen with somebody, they think you’re immediately, you gotta be in a relationship with them. Which is not true. I hang out all the time with different people that I’m not dating, that I’m just friends with.
“I hang out with a lot of guys because I’m a total tomboy. So a lot of my friends end up being guys because a lot of girls are like kind of too girly for me sometimes.”
