Bella accuses Charlie
On Friday, the former Disney star took to Instagram to make the claim in the comment section of an Instagram post about Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall “never” wanting to collab with Charlie again.

Bella and Charlie, 33, were briefly linked together in December 2016, shortly after the actor broke up with her ex Tyler Posey. The duo were caught kissing in Miami and attended iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball together where he serenaded her during his performance.
