Bella Thorne's ex Mod Sun 'scared' his nude photos will be leaked after hacker row

Bella Thorne’s ex-boyfriend Mod Sun revealed he is “scared” that his nude photos will be leaked online after the actress claimed that a hacker had threatened to release her personal pictures.

The 21-year-old released her own naked photos online in order to “take her power back” from the hacker earlier this week, after telling her social media followers that an unknown number had been sending her photos back to her.

In a statement posted on Twitter, she said that she felt “gross” and “watched” and that she was “putting [the photos] out” so that the cyber attacker would not “get to take yet another thing from [her].”

Speaking to TMZ, her DJ ex said that he feared the same thing could happen to him and that the incident had made him question his online privacy.

“If her phone is hacked, I’m kind of scared that my s*** gonna end up online with it,” he told the US gossip publication, adding: “I ain’t going to be sending no crazy pictures no more.”

When asked whether he would have handled the situation in a similar manner to Thorne, he said: “I would let time take care of itself, but everyone does it differently.”

After actress Whoopi Goldberg suggested that the hack was Thorne’s fault for “taking the photos and putting them in the cloud” on US talk show The View, the former Disney star hit back with a series of tearful videos.

“I’m not gonna lie, I want to say I feel pretty disgusting, you know… I feel pretty disgusting, Whoopi,” she added, before revealing that watching Goldberg’s interview “made [her] feel bad about [herself].”

She also posted a written response on Instagram, telling the star that she was “displeased and saddened” by her remarks.
