They say you should keep your friends close but your enemies closer, and that’s exactly what Bella Thorne appears to be doing.
Because, let’s face it, dealing with the paparazzi is an inevitable part of being a celeb.
You can either fight against them and have them pap you at the worst possible moment (aka. when you’ve gone out in your trackies for a Maccas run) OR you can get them on your side and make sure they capture the moment when you’re looking fly AF.
Our girl Bella chose option 2 and hats off to her, TBH.
Gossip website Page Six revealed that one of Bella’s ‘people’ tipped off the media about her whereabouts on a recent NYC press trip.

Apparently, Bella’s minion “appeared outside one of her first press stops in town — a spot on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show on Tuesday morning — and gave the paparazzi a full rundown of her, reeling off upcoming appearances, including on Good Morning America, a stop in Brooklyn and a book signing for her poetry collection.”
A source reportedly also told Page Six that “there were 15 photogs waiting for her at a pre-tape [interview for ‘GMA’] at a random spot in Chelsea.”
Can’t say we blame her, we’d probably do the same if we had those fabulous Chanel sunnies on too.
