Bella Thorne posted nudes photos of herself online after a hacker threatened to make them public.
Whoopi Goldberg is being blasted by actress Bella Thorne.
It started Saturday when the 21-year-old former Disney Channel star said a hacker somehow obtained intimate images of her and was threatening to make them public.
Thorne took matters into her own hands and posted them herself on her Twitter page, telling the hacker, "I took my power back."
On “The View” Monday, Goldberg suggested Thorne should have known better.
“Once you take that picture, it goes into the Cloud and it's available to any hacker who wants it. And if you don't know that in 2019 that this is an issue, I'm sorry, your age does not — you don't get to do that."
Goldberg added: "If you're famous, I don't care how old you are, don't take nude pictures of yourself."
In response, Thorne posted a tearful video on her Instagram Stories, accusing Goldberg of victim blaming.
“Shame on you, Whoopi. Shame on you. And shame on you for putting that public opinion just out there like that for every young girl to think they're disgusting for even taking a photo like that,” she said in the video Tuesday.
Thorne said she was canceling an upcoming appearance on “The View.”
One person on the set of “The View” came to Thorne’s defense: co-host Sunny Hostin, who said that the photos were intended for one person.
"Listen, when they're hacking you, they're hacking all of your stuff whether it's one picture or a million pictures," Goldberg fired back.
