Bella Thorne, the 27-year-old actress and singer, has once again brought to light a years-old controversy involving musician Charlie Puth, claiming he "lied to the entire world about me and started a hate train" after she refused to sleep with him.
The surprising revelation came via an Instagram comment made by Thorne on July 11, 2025, in response to a post featuring former Little Mix member Jade Thirlwall's assertion that she would "never collaborate" with Puth.
Thorne's comment directly reignites the dramatic fallout between the two that unfolded publicly in late 2016 and early 2017.
At the time, Thorne and Puth were briefly linked after being spotted together at Jingle Ball in Miami, where he even serenaded her onstage. Photos of them appearing to kiss also circulated, fueling romance rumors.
However, the situation quickly escalated when Charlie Puth took to Twitter (now X) with a series of posts implying that Thorne had been dishonest about her relationship status.
He expressed disbelief and concern, stating, "I can't believe what I'm reading. No one should have their heart messed with like this, and I'm not going to be in the middle of it."
While he didn't directly name Thorne, he apologized to her ex-boyfriend, Tyler Posey, writing, "I don't know Tyler personally, but I know he shouldn't be treated this way. She told me she was not with him anymore. This is all news to me."
Bella Thorne swiftly responded on Twitter, clarifying her position. She stated, "Ty and I have been broken up for like over two weeks and charlie and I AREN'T DATING, we are friends. That article was written forever ago."
She further elaborated that Puth had seemingly seen an old interview about her and Posey, "got butthurt," and instead of contacting her directly, chose to air his grievances on social media.
In a 2017 appearance on SiriusXM's The Jenny McCarthy Show, Thorne provided more context. She explained that her breakup with Posey had been difficult, and Puth had been reaching out to her.
They had only hung out a couple of times, going to the movies, and she was impressed by his talent.
She maintains that Puth misinterpreted an outdated news article about her and Posey, leading to his public accusations without verifying the facts with her.
This misunderstanding, according to Thorne, led to significant public backlash and a "hate train" directed at her.
Puth, who recently married his longtime friend Brooke Sansone in September 2024, has not yet publicly responded to Thorne's latest claims.
Thorne herself is now engaged to film producer Mark Emms. The renewed attention on this past dispute highlights the enduring impact of social media in celebrity relationships and how old controversies can easily resurface.
