With her child star days firmly in the past, Bella Thorne has gained a unique perspective on her behind-the-scenes friendship with Zendaya. The two actresses, who rose to fame as Disney Channel stars, found themselves pitted against each other while working on the popular series Shake It Up between 2010 and 2013.

According to Thorne, the situation became increasingly tense, with the two actresses struggling to navigate the pressures of fame and the expectations of their families. In an effort to clear the air, Thorne and Zendaya would often sneak away from the set to talk through their differences. ‘It got pretty bad,’ Thorne recalled on the Call Her Daddy podcast. ‘And then you have your your families and you have the rest of the set and everything, and I think it got to a point where when we were on our Good Luck Charlie crossover, we escaped to another set in the middle of a live taping, which is really ballsy, badass and rebellious. Very rebellious.’

Thorne’s comments on the podcast provide a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Disney Channel’s most popular shows. The series, which followed the lives of two teenage girls living in Chicago, was a staple of the network’s programming during the early 2010s. The crossover episode, which featured the cast of Shake It Up visiting the set of Good Luck Charlie, was a notable moment in the series, allowing the two actresses to come together and put aside their differences.

‘We didn’t escape, but we snuck out,’ Thorne said of the situation. ‘We knew that we had three scenes until we were up again. And we were just like, ‘Let’s just go talk.’ And we did.’

The actresses’ decision to sneak away from the set and talk through their differences proved to be a turning point in their friendship. ‘It was so beautiful,’ Thorne said. ‘It was my first experience woman to woman, girl to girl, where you actually can speak and you can both be heard about the different things you’ve been experiencing and what people are saying and how they’re trying to do this to you, and and you can walk out of there seeing each other.’

The episode, which aired in 2011, marked a significant moment in the series, allowing the two actresses to come together and put aside their differences. Thorne’s comments on the podcast provide a unique insight into the inner workings of the Disney Channel’s most popular shows, and serve as a reminder of the importance of female friendship and support.
