Bella Thorne claims Charlie Puth turned on her for refusing to sleep with him
Bella Thorne claims Charlie Puth publicly lied about their relationship because she refused to sleep with him. The former Disney star made the claim in the comment section of an Instagram post about Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall 'never' wanting to collab with Puth again. 'Yeah I mean. he lied to the entire world about me and started a hate train. All because I wouldn't … Do the deed with him,' Thorne, 27, wrote. Page Six has reached out to Puth's reps for comment. Thorne and Puth, 33, were briefly linked together in December 2016, shortly after the actress 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. Things turned sour just a few weeks later when the singer accused the actress of cheating, claiming she had not ended her relationship with Posey before pursuing things with him. In a slew of since-deleted tweets, the record producer accused Thorne of putting him in a love triangle with the Teen Wolf actor. 'I can't believe what I'm reading,' he wrote at the time. 'No one should have their heart messed with like this, and I'm not going to be in the middle of it.' Puth did not call out Thorne by name, but directly apologised to Posey, 33, making it clear who the tweets were about. 'I don't know Tyler personally, but I know he shouldn't be treated this way,' he wrote, adding, 'She told me she was not with him anymore. This is all news to me.' The model denied the claims, tweeting back just hours later, 'Ty and I have been broken up for like over two weeks and charlie and I ARENT DATING we are friends. That article was written forever ago,' referencing a Paper magazine piece published earlier that week. 'Charlie and I were hanging out. he saw an old interview and got butthurt but instead of texting me and asking about it he put it on Twitter,' she further explained. Both Thorne and Puth moved on with other partners and have not brought up the messy situation until now. Thorne is engaged to Mark Emms. She went Instagram-official with the Emms Productions and Eastern Road Films CEO on Valentine's Day in 2023. 'Find someone u want to share ur candy with,' she captioned the loved-up carousel of PDA pictures. Puth, for his part, married Brooke Sansone in September 2024 after a decades-long friendship. 'There was always a spark and chemistry between us, but the timing never seemed to work out — until it did,' Sansone shared. 'It's like an invisible string was always there, showing us that timing is everything.'

Fact check: Trump lies again about gas prices, falsely claiming five states are at $1.99
The president's imaginary list keeps getting longer. In April, President Donald Trump claimed gas prices in 'a couple' unspecified states had just fallen to $1.98 per gallon. That wasn't even close to true. But the next day he said it was 'three states' that had just hit $1.98 per gallon, which also wasn't remotely accurate. Trump used the 'three' figure on multiple occasions in subsequent weeks, again with no factual basis. Then, during an immigration-focused visit to Florida on Tuesday, Trump made it five states with supposed sub-$2 gas. 'Gasoline just hit $1.99 today in five states – $1.99, isn't that a nice sound?' he said, adding moments later, 'We just hit, in five states, $1.99, $1.98.' Once more, this was a lie. The lowest state average price on Tuesday for a gallon of regular gas was about $2.71 in Mississippi, according to data published by AAA. The state with the fifth-cheapest Tuesday average, Louisiana, was at about $2.79 per gallon, per the AAA data. And the national average was about $3.18 per gallon, AAA reported. GasBuddy, a firm that tracks prices at tens of thousands of stations around the country, did not find a single station selling regular gas for below $2.26 per gallon on Tuesday. (There are sometimes individual drivers who get special discounts.) And GasBuddy's head of petroleum analysis, Patrick De Haan, told CNN that the last time his data showed any state average below $2 per gallon was more than four years ago, in January 2021, when demand was unusually weak because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The White House did not respond to CNN's Tuesday request to explain Trump's claim. The president has a long history of using inaccurate statistics even when he could make a similar point using accurate statistics. His false Tuesday boast was especially needless given that he could have correctly said that – as CNN reported in an article earlier in the day – gas prices for this Fourth of July weekend are expected to be the lowest for the holiday since at least 2021, according to GasBuddy.
