Bella Thorne slammed for her Halloween look

People are PISSED. - by Bianca Mastroianni
  • 04 Nov 2019

WARNING: This post contains talk about domestic abuse.

Halloween is now done and dusted, but our favourite celebrities are still showing us their looks from the festivities.

WATCH: Bella Thorne says she has 'Mommy and Daddy issues

However, one celebrity looks came as a major shock to fans, after thinking that Bella Thorne had been beaten up.

People were not impressed with Bella glamourising domestic abuse.

Instagram

The Disney star took to her Instagram to show off her incredible makeup skills.

"Hire me for your Halloween makeup I got u boo 🔪🔪🔪 😂😂😂," she wrote as the caption.

Her gallery of photos showed highly realistic images of her face looking beaten up, which didn't sit well with fans as they accused the star of glamourising domestic abuse and violence.

"I feel this is too close to physical abuse, you’re crossing a fine line here," one fan wrote.

Instagram

"Why is glamorising being physically abused culturally appropriate during Halloween?" wrote a fan.

"This trivialises domestic abuse," said another.

It was important for some fans to point out that victims of this kind of abuse are not Halloween costumes, as there is nothing funny, sexy or hot about this look.

"You can’t use that for Halloween makeup it is not a costume," they wrote. "Why???? I feel this is too close to physical abuse, you’re crossing a fine line here," wrote another fan.

"Do you think this is a joke? Making fun pretending to be a beaten woman? Really?" another commented.

Bella debuted a completely different look for Halloween, ditching the violent makeup.

Instagram

Bella has actually in the past spoken about her own experiences with physical and sexual abuse, which is why people are so surprised by her 'look'.

Interestingly, Bella debuted her actual Halloween costume as a Girl Scout.

The star instead went as a sexy Girl Scout.
