Bella Thorne says Disney almost fired her at 14 after she wore a bikini at the beach

• Bella Thorne said Disney almost fired her following backlash for wearing a bikini at the beach.
• Appearing on Emily Ratajkowski's podcast, "High Low," Thorne discussed being sexualized as a child.
• Thorne said that fans pressured Disney Channel to fire her from "Shake It Up" after the incident.

Bella Thorne said she was almost fired by Disney after she was photographed wearing a "two-piece" bikini at the beach.

In 2010, when Thorne was 13, the "Midnight Sun" actor made her big break starring in the hit Disney Channel show "Shake It Up" alongside Zendaya.

However, in a new interview on Emily Ratajkowski's podcast, "High Low,"  the former Disney star spoke about being sexualized by the public while starring in the series.

"One time I almost got fired off the Disney Channel because I was 14, and I wore a two-piece on the beach," Thorne said at one point during the interview. "This stylist that I was hanging out with put this chain on me that's, like, a body chain. I don't know? I don't care. There was a fan, they got a photo of me on the beach. I almost got fired. It was all over the media, it was literally viral in that time. It was, 'How dare this little girl do this? This is so disgusting.'"

Thorne said that she wasn't aware that the two-piece would garner such a negative reaction since she used to get changed topless on the beach "until we were of a certain age" when she lived in Florida.

She continued: "[They were] blaming me and putting Disney under pressure to fire me. And obviously, Disney didn't fire me. And they were like 'Hey, we're getting a lot of heat for this. Everyone's getting heat for this because you're in a bikini on the beach so she needs to make sure that she goes out in boy's shorts and a loose T-shirt next time she's at the beach.'"

Thorne also said that being sexualized at a young age makes her "genuinely so scared" to have a daughter.

"How do you tell your little girl that every day she steps out of the house that, one, she might be raped? Two, don't trust anybody. And three, every time you get dressed in the morning you're going to be thinking about how you aren't beautiful enough for this or sexy enough for this, or, 'Why are you so sexy? You're too young,' but also be sexy."

The actor added: "How do you have that conversation with your daughter? Because that's a really shitty one and I really don't think I want to have that conversation."

During the interview, Thorne also recalled that she lost a role when she was 10 because a director "felt like she was flirting with him and it made him really uncomfortable."

"What the fuck are you talking about, man?" she said. "I don't give a fuck what the fuck I said. I don't care if I said, 'Eat my pussy right now' — she is 10 years old! Why ever would you think that? Why?"
