Actress Bella Thorne Releasing Book About Being Sexually Abused As Child Star
Actress and model Bella Thorne is releasing a poetry book that delves into her experience getting routinely molested as a child actor and model. Thorne said she was molested constantly until the age of fourteen.
Thorne starred on the Disney show Shake It Up beginning in 2010. Now 21, her book The Life of a Wannabe Mogul is being released this month.
“I don’t know, I was still being molested when paparazzi were still fucking following me. So it’s pretty hard in my mind to think about these big, flash light photographs and everyone thinking they know me and talking about me, but having no idea the type of mistreatment that I was still dealing with at that time – that everyone around me saw and did nothing,” Bella Thorne stated.
As the number of Americans filing for unemployment approaches 40 million, America’s billionaires are cruising along without any worries.
According to a CNBC report, billionaire fortunes climbed by a total of $434 billion since the middle of March,
At the top of the list are Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, whose respective fortunes increased by $34.6 and $25 billion, according to the Americans for Tax Fairness and the Institute for Policy Studies’ Program for Inequality. Zerohedge noted that both organizations came to this conclusion “based on Forbes data for America’s over 600 billionaires collected between March 18 and May 19.”

His ex-wife, MacKenzie Bezos, saw her wealth increase by roughly 33% to $48 billion. On average, American billionaires saw their net worth grow 15% during the two-month period from $2.948 trillion to $3.382 trillion.
Bezos, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Buffett and Larry Ellison saw their wealth increase by a total of $76 billion.
“The surge in billionaire wealth during a global pandemic underscores the grotesque nature of unequal sacrifice,” declared Chuck Collins, director of the IPS Program on Inequality and co-author of the Billionaire Bonanza 2020 report. “While millions risk their lives and livelihoods as first responders and front line workers, these billionaires benefit from an economy and tax system that is wired to funnel wealth to the top.”
Still, the pandemic hasn’t been kind to other billionaires – whose yacht upgrades may need to wait. Those in travel and retail have taken a beating. Ralph Lauren saw his wealth drop by $100 million to $5.6 billion, while hotelier John Pritzker has seen a $34 million drop to $2.56 billion. We know, time to get a collection going.
