Bella Thorne breaks down during Carnegie Hall performance
Bella Thorne made her stage debut as an author on Monday night.
Wearing a silver sequin gown by Cristina Ottaviano, the “Midnight Sun” actress, 21, read from her book, “The Life of a Wannabe

pianist Valentina Lisitsa and was sold out with nearly 200 attendees. Thorne’s boyfriend, rapper Mod Sun, made an appearance
after a 15-minute intermission to recite “Wichita Vortex Sutra” by Allen Ginsberg.

accompany the book that includes the sound of a motorcycle crash and music composed by Mod Sun. She also said that she did
not have an editor change anything in the typewriter-composed work, including spelling mistakes.
Thorne expressed concern that her sometimes morbid, personal thoughts might be misconstrued without the proper context. “You
