"I feel gross, I feel watched, I feel someone has taken something from me that I only wanted one special person to see," Thorne wrote on Twitter.

Actress Bella Thorne posted topless photos of herself on Twitter Saturday that she said a hacker threatened to release.

Thorne, 21, tweeted screenshots of text messages that contained the topless photos, writing, "I'm putting this out because it's my decision."

She alleged a hacker sent her her own photos as well as photos of other celebrities.

In a statement posted to her Twitter account, Thorne wrote that she was threatened for 24 hours with her "own nudes."

"I feel gross, I feel watched, I feel someone has taken something from me that I only wanted one special person to see," she wrote, adding that she was releasing the images to reclaim her power.

Thorne is a former Disney Channel star who has also appeared in films, including "Blended" and "Assassination Nation."

“F--- u and the power u think you have over me,” she wrote on Twitter. “I’m gonna write about this in my next book.”

She also said she had contacted the FBI. Thorne did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment Sunday.

Wonder if she’s Callie Thorne’s daughter. Callie was in Homicide: Life on the Streets way back when. One of the best shows ever on TV. Andre Braugher, Yaphet Kotto.

Awesome.

That’s what I was thinking.

She needed to advertise the fact................

[Buckeye McFrog]

Nah, not buying that story.

This is the most dementedly warped publicity stunt I can recall. Easing her way into films where frontal nudity is involved.

[Red Badger]

Every day I hear these Public Service announcements on the radio about this scam. All during Rush and Hannity and others...................

[Red Badger]

The Jussee Smolette maneuver?.............

Better Bella Thorne than Bella Abzug.

(Then again, people would have paid more to make sure the Bella Abzug nude would remain sealed, unseen, and forgotten.)

Cool, I still have a Polaroid around here somewhere.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The whole web is so saturated with boobs, who cares?

Those Democrats are everywhere you go.

[Red Badger]

I see tourists around here with them, like it’s a ‘new’ thing. And for Millennials I guess it is!..............

[OldNewYork]

Maybe Bella Thorne has a really good publicist?

[Red Badger]

The whole web is so saturated with boobs, who cares?

It is?...........

[Red Badger]

....or a really bad one.................

Polaroid film went out of production well before Bella Thorne, er, “blossomed her bosoms”

[Red Badger]

But it’s back!...................

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Fortunately, none to be found on FR, of course.

If this was a publicity stunt, it’s actually a pretty good one..........

I'm glad I never heard of her...

Ain’t social media wunnerful, Bella?

Keep wasting your life on it, Einstein.

A fellow confided into his best buddy, “I am so depressed. I accidentally sent nude selfies to everyone on my address list.”

“Gosh,” replied his friend. “You must be so embarassed.”

“I am terribly embarassed,” admitted his friend. “And.. I am out a fortune for all those stamps!”
