Actress Bella Thorne's love life has had fans on the edge of their seats for the last few months.

And now the Shake It Up star is ruffling feathers once again after appearing to confirm a romance with controversial YouTuber Sam Pepper, who was accused by several women of sexual assault a year ago.

Sam, who denied the multiple allegations, also became famously reviled after pretending to murder another internet star in front of a friend as a cruel prank.

In addition to having to deny multiple accusations of sexual assault last year, Sam has come under criticism for his offensive prank videos.

In one clip that preceded the women coming forward with stories of sexual assault, he walked up to women in the street under the pretense of asking for directions before grabbing their rears.

When hearing the news of Bella's possible new romance, one Twitter user wrote: 'Bella Thorne: lolz I'm a feminist haha ya gurl power. Bella Thorne: dates Sam Pepper.'

'Followed Bella Thorne on twitter then realized she was dating Sam pepper and unfollowed ASAP and threw up a little,' wrote another.

One user tweeted to the actress writing: 'Blink 3 times if Sam Pepper is holding you hostage.'

But this is far from the beginning of Bella's public relationship drama. The teen recently came under fire when it seemed she was involved in a love triangle.

The former Disney starlet, who has 14.7 million followers on Instagram, said she'd been cyberbullied after she split from Tyler Posey, 25, and immediately was photographed with Charlie Puth.

Revved up: Fans thought that Bella had cheated on Tyler with Charlie, a charge she has since strongly denied

Bella said her followers thought - wrongly - that she'd cheated on Teen Wolf star Tyler, whom she dated after the end in August of her year-long romance with actor Gregg Sulkin, with singer Puth, 25.

'I was getting death threats for a hot minute because they thought I had cheated on my ex, which is a total lie,' she told People magazine.

'When I woke up that morning — it f***ing sucks,' she said. 'It doesn’t feel good to think that everybody in the world just thinks you’re an absolutely disgusting person and just because I’m somebody where people know my name, it’s so much worse for me.'

She dated Tyler from September until early December followed by a short romance with Charlie.

The Shake It Up actress explained she has been deeply affected by the negative backlash she received.

'People take social media as such a big thing. And they all think they know what they’re talking about,' she said.

'And they think they know your life and they get their friends to trash you. And they get all these people to hate on you and call you whatever names in the book. It’s kind of like one person says it and then everybody jumps on it.'
