The Bella Thorne nude-pic thing happened last weekend. Some hacker threatened to release some photos, and so Thorne released them herself in order to “reclaim her power.” Got it — good move.

But then The View‘s Whoopi Goldberg said Thorne was being reckless by sending nude photos to a boyfriend or even putting them on her phone in the first place. (Which is true — if you’re hot and famous the odds of your phone being hacked are high.) Thorne freaked and posted a “shame on you and fuck you, Whoopi” video.

This is basically a generational divide thing. Thorne’s contemporaries regard the posting of nude pics and sex tapes as totally routine and no biggie; women Whoopi’s age and older regard it (i.e., the sharing of intimate details) askance.
