Idk why people hate her, like why? She had a traumatic past and still she decides to forgive them and makes such good music, her voice is soo angelic, she's an inspiration. Don't hate her, stan her

[@littlemayo7136]

People hate people because they hate the fact that they're successful and I would not be surprised if there was a racism and misogynistic factor to why people hate Bella

[@jimmij7067]

dont hate it but she song make my house haunted until now then...:v 🤭🤣😥👻

[@devotheambivert9875]

Yep. I agree with everything you said outside of the stan part. Don't hate or stan her. Hate and stanning are toxic. Both extremes are toxic. Respect her for sure, but don't worship her. Don't idolize anyone on Earth. Noone is perfect. No hate against you, but I don't think it's good or wise to encourage people to worship other people. Noone is infallible.

she grew up in a toxic household with her white stepfather and her mom that don't give a f if her stepdad abuse her. she was starved if she didn't do her chores, they lock her in her all yellow room (that isn't even her favourite colour it they forced her to like it) when she's grounded, and many more traumatic sht happened growing up til she was 13-15. It was really sad, that's why she deserves every success she's been getting cause it was a painful life she had.

What I like about Bella's career was after her fame on tiktok she didn't stay her platform there and become cringey just like some tiktok artist.. instead she used her fame to pursue careers she like and entered fulltime modeling and music industry.

The holiday cards in the trash can is actually so sad. I used to have a super toxic and mean stepsister, but honestly it’s because of her dad shaping her to who she is. He would throw away presents, beat her and yell at her and swear at her for no reasons, and a lot worse. I used to despise her because of how mean she was, but I actually feel so sorry

[@AudraRodriguez-s4y]

"I always showed them how much I loved them and they would never show it back to me" I teared up at that part. I grew up with a very cold hearted twisted, abusive mother. And as a kid, I would do the same. Make gifts, try showing affection, saying I love you. My mom would push me away and the first time I ever got an "I love you" was when I was 17 in foster care. And it made me angry when she said it. Instead of happy. Because in my head I thought "if that was true, you wouldn't have done the things you've done"

I feel like these people are just so judgemental and it’s what the world has become and it’s so sad. Bella had the courage to confess and say that she considered herself kind of toxic and that makes her a better person as she confessed about her past and thoughts. Bella is an amazing person and these people don’t seem to know what they are saying.

Story: So once, I was on my bus, listening to her beautiful voice when two boys started shaming me for listening to Bella, they called her “emo brat”. I felt this fume of anger and lashed out at them, screaming at them and telling them to find someone who cares. But they only did rude hand gestures as a response, I knew my professors couldn’t do anything about it so I got my friends and some others, and… Later that week, the only thing people talked about was how amazing Bella was, and that shut them up real well!
