A Story About Bella Thorne Allegedly Slapping A "Shake It Up" Costar Is Going Viral, And Her On-Set Behavior Compared To Zendaya
Bella Thorne's costar was left shaken up after she allegedly smacked them on set, and the story is now going viral on the internet.
For those who don't know, Bella starred in the Disney Channel hit series Shake It Up alongside Zendaya, Roshon Fegan, Davis Cleveland, and Adam Irigoyen. The series followed Bella (CeCe Jones) and Zendaya's (Rocky Blue) characters as they followed their dreams of becoming professional dancers.
Well, on the latest episode of Bottoms Up with Fannita, Roshon stopped by to share some behind-the-scenes details about his time on the Disney Channel, and let's just say his stories did not disappoint.
The 33-year-old actor claimed Bella slapped him on set, and at one point it left him too stunned to speak. Roshon, who played Zendaya's older brother Ty Blue on the show, was 19 when the series premiered. Bella was 13, and Zendaya was 14.
"When we first all met, you know I'm the oldest one on set," Roshon said. "I ain't never really worked with no young ass kids before. It was kinda weird."
"I think Zendaya and Bella were only, like, 13 and I was tripped out because they have different energy. Zendaya's down-to-earth and humble. We just locked in instantly — her mom and pops were like, 'Okay, you're [the] real big brother. Watch over your sister.'"
But Roshon, who you might also recognize from Camp Rock and Greenleaf, recalled Bella's personality being the complete opposite.
"Bella's crazy ass just came in with different energy, and I was like, 'What is this little rascal on?' Still love her, but just [she was coming in with] hot energy."
"One day she ends up talking some shit to me, just cracking jokes, and she smacked the shit out of me! She smacked the shit out of me and I froze."
He mentioned there was another cast member around when it happened but didn't mention them by name. Roshon also added that he was "20-something" when this occurred which means the alleged incident took place during the later seasons.
Bella allegedly laughed thinking she was being playful, but the impact of the slap was no laughing matter. Uncertain of how he should respond in the situation because of her age, Roshon decided to gently put Bella in her place so she knew to never do that again.
"I did tell her, 'Look, little girl, I fuck with you, but if you ever do that shit again, we're going to have some real issues. Do not do that again.'"
"From that day on, we were best friends. We were good. But I didn't see that shit coming."
Bella has yet to comment on the alleged incident.
