The Life and Scandals of Bella Thorne 

i feel like we need to get perez hilton in front of some kind of legal panel to speak for his crimes

I hope she can find a supportive therapist. - Afraid of medicine because her dad died - Says grief doesn't get better and seems to still struggle a lot with her dad's death - Says she doesn't know how to relax because she has worked since birth (and thinks that's ok) This poor kid.

Congrats on passing the bar!! 🖤 I work in law school admissions, so any law student passing the bar warms my heart.

"I don't care about Bella Thorne, so this is the perfect video to fall asleep to" *gets interested and watches the whole video while I'm supposed to be sleeping*

Bella finding out that her show was canceled on Twitter is like that actress from Avengers: Endgame finding out she had been completely recasted for the new Ant-man film from a Twitter post. Super shitty and unprofessional

I feel like Bella Throne and her life are the fine line between comedy and tragedy. These are all such tragic and traumatic things to go through, but the way the information is delivered and how she comes across so blasé at times forms that bridge to comedy.

for the love of god please do a deep dive on tana. she is so unlikeable in every way and somehow so charming?? also more ppl need to talk about how she pulled a logan paul recording a b0dy like a year before he did??? would be a great video as there is so much to talk about!!

in 2010 when facebook was a huge staple in everyones lives, i saw someone running a Bella Thorne page impersonating her with pics from Google. I tried calling her out, and she got so mad at me that "Bella" started CYBERBULLYING ME. shoutout to whoever ran that page, miss u love u

maybe its just me watching to fall asleep but your channel feels like the perfect intersection of getting to listen to a fun yet thoroughly researched educational lecture and the delirious yet unending conversational phase of a slumber party where you all stare at the ceiling in the dark too tired to move

I don't think Bella is perfect by any means but the crap she gets for her body/sexuality/orientation is absurd

Haven't finished watching yet, but it's interesting to hear her say she doesn't resent the child acting. Because I remember a couple of interviews where she said she hated the artifice and financial pressure of being a child star. Congratulations on passing the bar exam!

She seems to have a weird combination of maturity (in terms of work ethic and family responsibility) and immaturity (social relations). Anyway Watch Me from Shake It Up is still a bop.

the “scandalous” bikini at a BEACH incident is actually INSANEEEE like she’s literally at a BEACH LIKE WHAT ELSE WOULD SHE WEAR😭😭😭

We all know she’s dyslexic because she did one of those Disney short commercial ads talking about it

ok but shake it up and disney really had me wearing 5 layers to school like that’s normal😂

Love how you always manage to make a RU-vid video on a topic i always subconsciously wanted an hour long essay on but

obsessed with your channel.. would you ever consider doing a deep dive on Lindsay Lohan? her rise and fall as a child/teen actor, and then an analysis of the possible rehabilitation of her career we’re seeing rn? ive always had a soft spot of Lindsay and would love to see your take!

Wow she still can’t even say “then my dad died”. I lost the woman who raised me almost six years ago, and I do wonder if there are some losses you never get over.

My aunt was the co-writer on all the books and I can confirm that she didn’t write a single word. We got to meet her though and she was nice

Geez, is her admitting she doesn’t know how to rest because she wasn’t allowed to as a child, or that she had to unlearn her families language to prioritize selling her labor absolutely heartbreaking?

you’re probably my favorite creator on this whole site rn, the topics you choose and the way you choose to approach them is so interesting to take in. 💗

The one thing I really remember about Bella during her Disney years was that commercial about having dyslexia… and then Disney gave her a song that was 50% spelling lol

Shake it Up was one of those shows where, as a mid-teen with a younger sister, I was stuck watching a lot even though I didn’t like it. But somehow 10 years later I still find myself humming the TTYLXOX song to myself

It sounds like Bella is plagued with anxiety. I hope she is in therapy or goes to therapy. Anxiety when unchecked can grow and take over you. Sometimes growing into psychosis.

Honestly, as an extremely pale Hispanic who also grew up in Miami, I kind of understood the "fellow pale in this sea of golden tans" line However...i think the context of saying that's a reason you started liking someone is just...in poor taste at the very least lmfao

I may not be a badass lawyer but as a recovering alcoholic passing the bar is a huge achievement for me as well! Congrats!!!

YES IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD A FEDORA PHASE BECAUSE OF SHAKE IT UP I also had a pairing skirts with pants phase because of rocky she was my favorite

I've been binging your videos recently and even though I've only been watching you for a short time, congrats on passing the bar! Not only have you been giving us great content but you also passed one of the hardest exams ever. We love a multitalented queen.

Quite incredible to see how much you've grown in the past few months especially. I found your channel at like a few thousand subs and now you're at 42k 🤯

i really was not interested in learning more about bella thorne before clicking this video but I just love the format of your videos and your unbiased, well researched take and i could not be happier to have spent an hour of my evening on this video

You've single-handedly made me fall in love with long form content. I actually started making videos because of you. Thank you for posting, being yourself, and happy 1 year

"A fellow pale" lol the Cuban Miami colorism is *very* authentic 👌🏾

Oh I have been WAITING for this one I used to be really jealous of Bella and her life when she was on Disney, now being older I can see she was exploited by the adults in her life her entire childhood and it’s really sad to think about

The connections to Demi Lovato is so random, all this shit is connected. The late 2010s It Girls bump into each other and make cameos in each other's Ashley Norton videos. We need a Tana video tbh. Tana is the key to all this.

No. Dyslexia is the difficulty processing, comprehending/understanding information, AND then remembering or implementing what was learned. A symptom or sign of dyslexia is poor reading and writing skills. Even if we still only wrote using pictographs a dyslexic person would still have problems with processing, comprehension, memory, and implementation. So many of us get pretty defensive and combative because the “can’t read or spell” part often lead to being called retarded or slow. My mom was proactive in getting me help (I was also rather quiet), but that didn’t change the cop next door telling my grandma, “I guess they stuck you with the retarded one, huh?”. I’m multilingual, which takes a lot of work, and still as a 40 yr old adult I can read the same page of a book or magazine or email and come away having no idea what I read. Not one word, emotion, or concept will I have of what I just read. It took me 20 years to realize if I am just reading the words individually, and not as a sentence, then I will not be able to read that book, article or email. Sometimes it just me and my head space, but I have a list of authors and genres I don’t read.

The first time Bella really came to my attention was from TanaCon coverage. The sheer amount of apathy and almost disdain that she showed towards all the miserable, suffering attendees left me flabbergasted. I have not been a fan of her since. There's something dark in her soul.

My friends and I danced to TTYLXOX at our 5th grade talent show. My best friend still to this day made the dance herself, chose the song, held practices at recess, and made sure we practiced. While it was embarrassing as hell for someone who has anxiety and was scared as hell, it’s fun to look back on and my mom said it was one of the proudest things I’ve done 😂she actually convinced my uncle to come as well. I think he took off work. So thanks Bella for that bop if a song

Watched this while I was thumbnailing my comic, I’ve seen so much hatred towards Bella, leaving out context about her life. It was nice seeing a more open conversation about her controversies and seeing you go as deep into her story as you could.

I saw you posted an over an hour long video on Bella Thorne and was like "am I really gonna watch the whole thing?". And here I am watching the whole thing. You're seriously GREAT at telling these stories and I can really see the people behind the scandals and weird shit going on.

I have a childhood friend who had a brief flirt with d-list fame (she sings something about the sunshine in a disney movie) and she used to have bella’s real undercover facebook account as a friend and I felt like I was peering into the future back then based on stuff she’d post. I obviously never took pictures or anything because I was being creepy and weird to begin with at the time trying to play it cool bc my friend was who she was and i didnt want to seem fangirly at age 14 😂

congratulations on passing the bar !! and happy (belated) anniversary to this channel, amazing to see how much you and your content has grown ! excited to see what video topic i did not know i wanted but i definitely needed you'll give us

STOP i am in love with your mind and what you choose to research... biggest fan over here

Thank you for making these videos!! I watched this and the Madison Beer one while cleaning my apartment for an inspection. These deeps dives are my secret weapon for chores, I appreciate all the work you put into making them!

coming here to say i actually read and owned all three of her books and my mind has erased most of them i guess in an attempt to shield me but i remember that they got progressively more wild and that i absolutely despised them by the end. i’m pretty sure in the whole trilogy there were more comments about her pale skin and the romance grossed me out

with everyone roasting the shake it up styling choices i feel like im the only one kinda liking it? it somewhat kickstarted me getting into alternative clothing styles lol like ofc yes the classic disney layering tho lmao also i think its funny that back when i did watch it w a friend no one else knew the show but now everyones like yeees i watched that as a kid too, exactly the same experience i had with animal crossing lmao

Congrats on passing the bar! I love that she pulled the classic "well if anything my flaw is that I work TOO hard" interview tactic

So the reason you should NEVER put lemon juice or any citrus on your skin is that if it gets exposed to sunlight it will cause burns. You could straight up blister your entire face if you don’t wash it off well enough and walk outside (and also particle scrubs aren’t good for your skin, we’ve learned).

"Freud really was born in the wrong generation" lmaooo you're great

As soon as you mentioned call it whatever, I had to go watch it immediately. Honestly kind of an amazing pop song I think it’ll be stuck in my head for a week lol

congrats on passing the bar!!! thank you for another wonderful, well researched video 💛💛

i cant believe how much this woman WORKS like i feel like i never see her in anything but her IMDB page..... damn

CONGRATULATIONS!!! i just finished my masters thesis and it almost completely took me out so i can’t even begin to understand how tired YOU must be, my lawyer friend has talked about how stressful law school is so you should definitely be celebrating as much as possible rn

The long videos are great! I work from home and it's great to have these sorts of videos to watch and listen to.

About the pill thing, I will say I relate to that. My grandma had an opioid addiction my entire life, and it's the reason she has dementia now. Ever since I was a kid I was terrified of any kind of pain medication. Antibiotics? Fine with. Vaccines? Absolutely, gimme. But any kind of medication that alters my brain, even though I have depression and anxiety? Terrified. So I do get that. Sometimes people get scared about medical stuff because they've had a bad experience or seen someone who has. And I appreciate how she clarifies she doesn't like pills for her, but understands it helps other people. Still tho, uh. Please get vaccinated. That is where I draw my lil line in the sand.

every video topic you choose is perfect. im so excited to see what you make next!!

Famous in Love was actually pretty good and I remember being annoyed about the show being canceled.

congratulations on passing the bar and a year on your channel! love when you upload and hit that niche topic sweet spot with thoughtful & well-composed narration

Whoopi's take was so incredibly gross. I absolutely hate that anyone thinks that it is the victim of a hack that is to be blamed.

congrats on passing the bar!! and i love every topic u talk about, ty for posting!!

You presented her story in a very respectful way. I always thought Bella Thorne is much smarter than the world will ever know. She just doesn’t care enough to put up a front of normalcy that society wants. I admire people who do whatever the F they want

Bella’s music career is what I like to call “so bad it’s good” which is a type of music I love

so proud of you for passing the bar! i’m on a track to law school myself. glad i got in your channel so early so that i can be the proud little sis

Bella truly has been through it throughout her life and she truly deserves more credit! Like it seems like the public portrays her as a terrible person bcus of who she dates or her decisions, but all of that could be based on traumas nobody knows about. Hopefully she found peace within everything, bcus everything she went through could damage a person forever.

God! I remember all these things happening in real time. I just feel like she's a very messy person with no real control of herself and she honestly just doesn't care. She's just here to enjoy life for the moment and doesn't care about her actions, and other people thoughts/feelings. I feel like a lot of what she does is fast money in disregard to how she gets it.

I passed the UBE last year!!! Congrats to you in whichever state you end up practicing in, you’ll be a lovely addition to the esquire profession

I can't believe it's been a year! I'm so glad I found your channel and so happy to see you grow! Congrats on the bar that's such a huge achievement!

This is the first video I’ve watched on your channel and I am hooked! Immediately subscribed and I can’t wait to see what your brilliant mind creates next! Thank you for being you! 💖

Congratulations on passing the bar!! Good luck for whatever is next 😊 interesting video as always - you seem to choose the topics I didn’t know I wanted to see!!

Hi lovely video as always - just wanted to let you know that your expression at 17:49 had me cry-laughing and has been incorporated into my personal stock of reaction images

Congrats on the bar and one year of your channel! I've been loving your content!

Congrats on the last vid doing so well. I found you cause of the Nancy Drew video and you've fast become one of my fav creators, your content is absolutely fantastic, and honestly I love the longer videos! Also Goose is the best.

Congrats on passing the bar!! im only a undergrad student right now, but i also wanna go into law. Honestly your a huge inspiration, and im really happy for you!!

In 28:48 the other show that showed polyamory in a good way but it wasn't HBO is called "you, me, her" that was on the Audience network. That was ahead of its time.

Man you really deserve more followers! I love all of your videos and I'm so glad you are putting all that effort in - happy anniversery Ashley!

9:14 this is random but Mae Whitman is Amity in the Owl House and it's just cool to hear stories of her being cool irl :3

I find it so weird she didn’t bring up Paris Hilton as a mogul she looks up to. That’s literally Paris’ brand, hands in a lot of pots and sticks with the ones that work and she does well, as well as being behind the scenes on some

Congrats on passing the bar!!!! And congrats on the 1 year anniversary! I love your channel so much. It's so interesting to learn about Bella's life. I didn't know much about her (other than her time at disney channel), but it's insane to me that she dated Mod Sun and now he's engaged to Avril Lavigne?

Congrats on passing the bar!!! 💜I love all your videos so much these style deep dives are my favorite!

She missed an opportunity to market herself as "Bella þ". (The letter "thorn").

I just stumbled across your channel and you are so entertaining! Your videos are very thoughtfully put together. I've binged a few already, happy to have found your corner of the internet :)

Congrats on passing the bar!!! 🎉 this is my first video of yours I’ve seen, you just showed up on my feed. Immediately subbed! I’m excited to binge your videos now

Your topic selection skills are unmatched

I didn’t really know who Bella was, and honestly didn’t care to know. But for some reason I couldn’t stop watching this. Well done

I was OBSESSED with her song “Call It Whatever” 😭😭 I would rewatch that music video all the time 😭😭

Shake It Up only ran for three seasons???? At the time it felt like it had the same run as Hannah Montana Edit: lmao it did have the same run as Hannah Montana. All of my favourite Disney shows at the time only had three seasons. What an era!

Goose's cameos always makes me smile!

Nah the catalytic converter parts TOOK ME OUT 😭💀💀 im loving your channel!!

"Normalize being queer and boring." A+ I'm there every day (Bisexual who loves everyone regardless of gender or body because that's what bisexual means ❤💜💙)

babe wake up new ashley norton video !!! (also congrats and happy anniversary !!!!!)

I love listening to your videos!! Listened to it all in one go! So proud to hear about u being a super cool lawyer too!!❤️

that’s a really big accomplishment❤ even tho I’m new here I’m so proud of you and the hard work you do in and outside of RU-vid

I loved your reveal that you had the shirt!! That’s dedication

Those Bella Thorne books are iconic. It's been years since I read them, but I really liked them as a kid!

YES THANK UOU FOR CRAWLINH INTO MY BRAIN AND KNOWINB WHAT I NEED A VIDEO ON

ASHLEY- CONGRATULATIONS!!! PASSING THE BAR IS SUCH A HARD ONE great work

You're my new fix when I am craving new Jenny Nicholson content. Also, congrats on passing the bar!!

Congrats for passing the bar!!!!!!! And for your year anniversary!!! This was, as ever, a v v fun video

Oh WOW! I was just scrolling and you were in my recommendations. My curiosity was instantly piqued; Bella has oftentimes struck me as a cautionary tale. It seems there are a lot of layers to this young woman. However, when you shared you just passed the bar, my attention was immediately diverted to you! I had to pause to say Congratulations. That is a huge, HUGE, accomplishment! I couldn't be happier for you. I've only just had the pleasure of making your acquaintance, literally 4 minutes ago lol, but passing the bar is an achievement worthy of recognition. I'm so incredibly happy for you. I truly am. Yay! 😁👍❤️

Am I the only one who doesn’t think those masks even look that much alike… the ones PR are wearing are like crocheted and way more textured, like sorry but you can’t say someone is copying you for something as basic as a… colored… ski mask. Issa reach to me.

I have dislexia and it’s not a reading disorder it’s more of a writing and orientation disorder. When I was a kid I would write backwards and I had a problem with writing the correct order of words like I would write all the right words down but they would not be in order. I still have some issues like being 38 and still not being able to distinguish my lefts from my rights. When I’m tired I still mix up words in sentences. I have never had a problem with reading or reading comprehension, I could actually read upside down or sideways and still can. I can read a novel in a night, I’m a pretty fast reader and I started reading extremely early. My Nana tells people I could read at 2 but Nanas exaggerate so I’m not sure it’s true.
