Tech entrepreneur flees Washington due to companies being 'villainized'
A prominent Washington tech entrepreneur is joining the growing exodus of business leaders fleeing the Evergreen State, citing a "dramatic" shift in the state’s tax climate following the passage of a controversial new "millionaire tax."
Jesse Proudman, the founder and CTO of the privacy-focused generative AI platform Venice.ai, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that the state he once called a "startup sanctuary" has become increasingly hostile to the very people who fuel its economy.
"I started three companies here in the state. I have been an entrepreneur my whole life here," Proudman said. "The business climate when I started my first company was very entrepreneurial-friendly, and the startup community was looked upon as a contributing member of the city. Over the last number of years, that has changed dramatically."
Proudman, who previously founded the private cloud company Blue Box and the crypto-investing platform Makara, is now serving as a spokesperson for Let’s Go Washington. The political committee is currently spearheading a massive signature-gathering effort to repeal the tax measure before it can take root.

The tax, pushed through by the Democratic-controlled legislature during the 2026 session and signed into law by Gov. Bob Ferguson in March, imposes a 9.9% levy on annual income exceeding $1 million. While it is set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2028—with the first payments due in 2029—the mere threat of its implementation is already shifting the state’s demographics.
"We have until July 2nd to gather about 325,000 signatures to put this on the November ballot," said Hallie Herzberg, Director of Communications for Let's Go Washington. "The people deserve the right to vote on this. It’s already driving businesses, employers, and families out of the state."
The move marks a seismic shift for Washington, which has historically been one of only a handful of states with no personal income tax. However, the legal ground shifted in 2023 when the state’s Supreme Court upheld a 7% capital gains tax, effectively opening the door for broader income-based levies that critics argue violate the state constitution’s requirement that property (which includes income) be taxed at a uniform rate.
GOV ABBOTT EXTENDS OFF-RAMP FOR NY BILLIONAIRES FLEEING MAMDANI'S POLICIES
State Sen. Jamie Pedersen (D-Seattle), the Senate Majority Leader and the bill's primary sponsor, has dismissed concerns of "tax flight."
"The reality is the millionaire tax is not likely to result in businesses leaving," Pedersen told a local FOX affiliate following the bill’s signing. He later told Fox News Digital that there is "no evidence" that high earners will migrate to lower-tax jurisdictions like Florida or Texas.
Data from the Association of Washington Business (AWB) suggests otherwise. A recent survey reported by The Center Square found that 44% of business leaders in the state are considering moving their personal residences elsewhere. Furthermore, Washington businesses reported they are now more than twice as likely to expand outside the state than within it.
For Proudman, the decision has already been made. He plans to relocate his life and business interests to Austin, Texas.
"It's no longer a friendly place to conduct business," Proudman said. "Startup companies are being villainized. With the passing of this tax, we have looked at alternative places to move, and we'll probably end up in Austin."
SIX DIFFERENT WAYS THAT PROVE THE WEALTHY PAY A LOT MORE THAN THEIR ‘FAIR SHARE’
Proudman warned that while the tax is currently branded as a "millionaire’s tax" to gain public favor, the long-term economic consequences will eventually hit middle-class residents as the tax base shrinks.
"They are targeting a very highly mobile cohort of the population," Proudman argued. "When those folks leave, this will become a tax on everybody. The voters are unwittingly creating an incredibly worse tax situation for themselves. Washington is already the 45th worst state from a tax point of view. This is a constitutionally illegal tax that ultimately will apply to everyone."
Sen. Pedersen’s office did not respond to Fox News Digital's latest request for comment.
Jeff Probst's defiant message to 'Survivor 50' critics over Zac Brown backlash: 'I've also got a backbone'
Jeff Probst isn't afraid to "outwit, outplay, outlast" fans, but also recognized that the tribe has spoken out against "Survivor 50."
The longtime, Emmy Award-winning host took qualms with superfans spinning a narrative that the show's once ruthless narrative has softened over the years.
"We experiment with all kinds of new ideas, and we tried to usher in the most unpredictability we’ve ever had," Probst told Variety.
'SURVIVOR' RETURNS FOR MILESTONE 50TH SEASON WITH ALL-STAR CAST INCLUDING 'WHITE LOTUS' CREATOR
"Whether or not you like the season is subjective, but it’s not that something didn’t work. We’ve made bad choices in the past. I just don’t think we did in 50."
‘MORMON WIVES’ IS CLASHING WITH CORE LDS VALUES AND AMERICA IS EATING IT UP: EXPERT
Of the myriad new additions to the evolving series, "Survivor" enlisted the help of a celebrity panel — including Jimmy Fallon, Billie Eilish, MrBeast and Zac Brown — to collaborate on new twists for the show.
Fan-favorite contestant Cirie Fields was taken aback by seeing the "Country Fried" singer — who is also a close Probst friend — appear on the island in Fiji during Season 50.
"We’re in a bubble. So to walk out on the beach and see Zac Brown standing in front of me, it’s like, 'How did you get in?'" she said.
"We’ve never had someone from the outside come be a part of this. That let me know that Season 50 was about to be off the rails. Mind-blowing things that would never happen in the 'Survivor' of old are happening on Season 50."
Brown's guest spot became a hot topic on social media after viewers watched the country singer spearfishing to feed immunity challenge winners and then playing them music while they ate.
Additionally, Brown appeared in a number of individual confessionals and received more air time than a few contestants.
Legendary "Survivor" winner Parvati Shallow also criticized Brown's appearance, and noted, "They showed [Brown] catching the fish, and then they didn't show Ozzy catching one."
In hindsight, Probst wouldn't change much about Brown's visit, but admitted that the country star could have impacted the game instead of serving as a reward.
"It’s fascinating to me that a couple of people, most of them either former players or people who will never play, criticize the show, and it gets momentum," he said.

"I tell anyone who wants to listen: If that’s your goal, to somehow impact our point of view, it will fail. We trust what we’re doing. If you think we’re going to re-edit because you thought there was too much Zac Brown, you’ve not been reading interviews with me."
He added, "I couldn’t be more serious. I love 'Survivor.' I love joy. I love fans. I’ve also got a backbone. It’s gonna take more than that to knock me over."
Probst, 64, began hosting "Survivor" at its inception in 2000. One decade into hosting the popular competition show, Probst became disillusioned by the audience's desire to revel in conflict.
"I didn’t like the stories we were telling, and I was losing my joy of the format, therefore my joy of the job, therefore my joy of life," Probst said.
"I didn’t want vitriol and who can be the meanest, most spiteful person."
At one point, he tried to quit, but was met with resistance by executive producer Mark Burnett after confessing he was "done" with the gig.

It was Burnett who recognized that Probst likely needed some time off, in addition to more responsibility on the back end of the show.
"CBS was initially horrified. They didn’t want stars to be given showrunner status," Probst said. "But I was so argumentative and sure that it was the right thing to do that I convinced them."
"It was the best move I’ve made in my career."
While recognizing the cultural impact, Burnett admitted that playing "Survivor" is similar to a "management training test."
"If someone works for you, can you fire them and have them shake your hand after?" Burnett wondered.
"At 'Survivor,' you’re voting people out — firing them every week — then you’re asking the very people you fired to give you $1 million. That’s a tricky thing to do."
First clade I mpox case confirmed in Connecticut after patient traveled to Western Europe
A case of clade I mpox — a more virulent version of the virus that causes monkeypox, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — has been confirmed in the U.S., as global health officials also monitor newly reported hantavirus cases in Europe.
The Connecticut Department of Public Health (CDPH) said Wednesday that the state’s first identified case of clade I mpox was detected in a person who recently traveled to Western Europe, where officials continue to monitor infectious disease activity.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has also reported new hantavirus cases in Spain and France, drawing attention to the rare but potentially severe disease, which can cause serious respiratory complications in humans.
Hantavirus is typically spread through contact with infected rodents and can lead to severe respiratory illness, though cases remain rare, according to the WHO.
While health officials said the mpox case "does not pose a risk to the general public," they still encourage those who may be at risk to receive the JYNNEOS vaccine.
NEW MPOX STRAIN CONFIRMED IN US STATE FOR FIRST TIME
Mpox symptoms can include fever, swollen lymph nodes and a characteristic rash, according to CDC.
"Mpox hasn't gone away, and we want people to be protected, especially as many in our community prepare for travel, festivals, and gatherings this summer," CDPH Commissioner Dr. Manisha Juthani said in the release.
"The vaccine is safe, effective and widely available. Completing the two-dose series is the best way to protect yourself and your partners."
HANTAVIRUS DEATHS ON CRUISE SHIP HIGHLIGHT DANGERS OF RODENT-BORNE DISEASE
Clade I and clade II mpox are genetically distinct forms of the virus with key differences in severity and geographic origin, according to the CDC and the WHO.
Clade I, historically identified in Central Africa, has been linked to more severe illness and higher mortality rates, with cases often involving more widespread rashes and complications.
Clade II, which has circulated primarily in West Africa, is generally associated with milder disease and drove the global outbreak beginning in 2022, when most patients experienced less severe symptoms and lower hospitalization and death rates, according to the WHO.
The CDC and WHO say distinguishing between the two clades helps guide risk assessments, particularly as international travel increases.
Margaret Cho blames Trump and ICE for missing out on hit HBO Max series
Actress and comedian Margaret Cho blamed President Donald Trump and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for missing out on a role in the hit HBO Max series "Heated Rivalry."
"Last year, I got a pilot script for a show that I really loved, but it shot in Canada," Cho told the "I Never Liked You" podcast last week. "And I was so scared because I’m so vocal about hating ICE and hating this administration. I was like, I will get detained at the border and I will be put in ICE detention if I go."
Cho confirmed that the series was the 2025 sports romance show about two professional hockey players played by Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams who form a romantic bond while playing for rival teams.
COMEDIAN NIKKI GLASER WORRIED THAT SHE COULD ‘NOT BE LET BACK INTO THE COUNTRY’ FOR TRUMP JOKES
She added that she has since become a fan of the show and the woman who played her part. Cho also suggested she is looking to potentially appear in its second season.
"I've watched it. I've hosted some rewatch parties, and I'm like it kills me, like it kills me because of Trump," Cho said.
Fox News Digital reached out to HBO and ICE for comment.
Cho has been among many celebrities who have attacked Trump in the past, calling him "abhorrent" in 2015.
Earlier this year, Cho recalled being asked to appear on Trump's show "The Apprentice" because Trump was reportedly "a fan" of her comedy, which she found "weird."
"I was asked several times to be on it, season after season, and they kept saying, 'Well, Donald Trump really loves you. Please come on,'" Cho said in March. "I just had a bad feeling about it, because I did go on one of the challenges because my friend Cyndi Lauper was competing one year, and so she did something at a diner, so I went, and I helped out."
She continued, "I was at the diner, and so I was part of an episode, but I never actually was a contestant, but I was asked several times because Donald Trump was a fan."
Which teams have the most valuable college football rosters heading into 2026 season?
The new era of college football based around name, image and likeness payments has changed how rosters are built and which programs can compete at the top.
The Indiana Hoosiers came out of nowhere in 2024, reaching the College Football Playoff in Curt Cignetti's first year as head coach. Then, with some help on the NIL front, they brought in Fernando Mendoza through the transfer portal. Mendoza went on to win the Heisman Trophy, and the Hoosiers went 16-0 and won the National Championship. Just a few months after Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said undefeated teams were a thing of the past.
There are plenty of other examples: Texas Tech, with the support of billionaire Cody Campbell, built up one of the top defenses in the country and reached the playoff. NIL can dramatically change a program's fortunes overnight.
Spending more money on players can't guarantee anything. But there's a much stronger likelihood that more expensive rosters will generally lead to higher-quality teams. So as we rapidly approach the start of the 2026 college football season, looking at estimates of NIL spending by team carries a significant amount of weight. Which teams will dominate their conferences and make a run at the playoff? Or which may have to hope they've spent their money wisely, even if it's a lower overall number?
INSIDE THE FIGHT: NIL ARMS RACE FUELING NEW PUSH FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF EXPANSION
An organization called "College Front Office" has been compiling estimated NIL valuations for 68 teams in the Power 4 conferences, with the ultimate goal of determining which team has the most valuable roster in the sport. And, wouldn't you know it, there are plenty of playoff and SEC teams near the top of the list. Here's how the top 15 looks, per their estimates.
It's important to note that these are based on valuations of the players on the roster and not necessarily what these teams and their collectives actually spent on NIL. But valuations are likely closely correlated to real-world spending, and the results bear that out.
WHICH TEAMS HAVE THE TOUGHEST STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE HEADING INTO COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON?
There are several obvious takeaways here, primarily that it's no surprise Texas, Miami and Ohio State are leading the way. The Longhorns have Arch Manning, one of the most valuable NIL players in the sport, and were widely viewed as the most expensive team in college football in 2025 as well. Miami's another example of a program that rebuilt itself quickly after committing to spending more. The Hurricanes were just a few plays away from winning the National Championship game themselves, and beat Texas A&M in a road game, Ohio State and then Ole Miss in the playoff just to advance to the final.
Another takeaway? The SEC and Big Ten are dominant, with 12 of the top 15 teams from those two conferences. Miami is the lone ACC team; Texas Tech is once again one of the top teams and the only Big 12 program on the list. And Notre Dame, with this level of talent and the schedule they have, looks to be a near guarantee to reach the 12-team field.

Interestingly, Indiana is not listed in the top 15, despite coming off a National Championship win. Will that matter, or can the Hoosiers and Curt Cignetti rely on getting the most out of the talent they have? Lane Kiffin, too, has spent this offseason talking about the project he's facing at LSU, but the talent he has on the roster is, at least by these estimates, clearly playoff caliber.
Then there are two other programs that have a high-dollar-figure roster with little to show for it thus far: USC and Michigan.
Every other team on this list has either made the playoff over the last two years, or in LSU's case, hired a new head coach who led his previous team to the playoff in the last two years. Michigan's Bryce Underwood is a sophomore and looking to build on an up-and-down freshman year and also has a new head coach. USC is at a pivotal point in Lincoln Riley's tenure, with a roster that's now finally capable of competing against other playoff-caliber teams.
Again, money can't buy everything, but the success rate of these programs in reaching the playoff indicates some level of connection. Or can Indiana be the exception once again? Yet again, we're heading for a fascinating college football season.
Morgan Wallen fan goes viral kicking a phone out of someone's hand as she's being escorted out in handcuffs
Move over Romper Stomper. There's a new woman who went viral at a Morgan Wallen concert that the internet has fallen in love with.
She hasn’t been given a clever nickname as far as I know, but she has racked up millions of views across the internet. She did so with a perfectly executed kick that sent another fan's phone flying.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
The kick came as she was walking down the stairs in handcuffs with a police officer holding her arm. The details of how she ended up in that position in the first place aren’t known.
All we can go on is the video footage that has captivated social media. In it, we see her coming up empty on an initial kick attempt over a railing and across the aisle from where she's standing.
CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK CULTURE COVERAGE
That failed attempt didn’t keep her from trying again. As the officer continues to escort her down the stairs, she notices that someone within kicking reach is recording her, and without hesitation she lets her boot fly.
Making contact with the phone and sending it sailing through the air had to feel pretty good after her first kick attempt came up empty. Whiskey Riff reports that the viral moment took place over the weekend at Wallen's concert at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Aside from comments asking for details about how she ended up in cuffs in the first place, the comment section was overwhelmingly supportive of her kick, earning her a lot of fans.
I don't blame anyone for pulling out their phone when they see something out of the ordinary at a concert, but you do so at your own risk. You could be taking video of someone who can impressively still throw a kick while walking down stairs in handcuffs with their hands behind their back.
AG aims to retry Alex Murdaugh ‘quickly’ as both sides enter courtroom chess match with each other’s gameplans
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson says his office will move quickly to retry Alex Murdaugh after the state Supreme Court threw out the disgraced lawyer’s murder convictions, stressing prosecutors still believe they can secure a guilty verdict.
"The Supreme Court, in its order today, basically laid the blame on this reversal on the shoulders of former Colton County Clerk of Court, Rebecca [Becky] Hill, and it was her conduct that has led to this decision today, not the conduct of anyone else," Wilson told Fox News Digital.
Wilson said the Palmetto State plans to retry Murdaugh and will push for a speedy trial as prosecutors evaluate next steps.
ALEX MURDAUGH'S DOUBLE MURDER CONVICTION UNANIMOUSLY OVERTURNED BY SOUTH CAROLINA SUPREME COURT
"We are disappointed in the court’s decision. We respect this court, we respect the members of the court, but we strongly disagree with their reasoning," Wilson told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum on The Story.
The South Carolina Supreme Court vacated Murdaugh’s 2023 convictions in the killings of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, ruling that misconduct by former Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill tainted the jury process.
At issue were allegations that Hill made improper comments to jurors during the trial, conduct the court said created a risk of influencing the verdict.
MURDAUGH COURT CLERK BECKY HILL RELEASED ON BOND AFTER ARREST ON PERJURY, MISCONDUCT CHARGES
The comments included that jurors said "that Hill told the jurors not to be fooled by the evidence Murdaugh's defense presented," saying "They're going to say things that will try to confuse you. Don't let them confuse you or convince you or throw you off."
Wilson said prosecutors were not aware of the clerk’s conduct during the trial.

"No, we obviously weren’t aware of any of this conduct until after. Obviously, it had occurred," he told MacCallum. "We never defended her conduct. We just believe that it wasn’t enough to warrant a reversal."

Retrying the high-profile case will come with challenges, but Wilson said his office still has most of the original team in place and a clear road map from the first trial.
"So we had the benefit of having a road map for our case that we developed three years ago. Obviously, the defense knows what our trial strategy was. We know what their trial strategy is. And so it will be a different kind of trial because both sides have seen the hands we have to play," he told Fox News Digital.
CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO: DICK HARPOOTLIAN'S PLAN TO OVERTURN ALEX MURDAUGH'S CONVICTION
The attorney general said multiple legal options remain under consideration, including potential appeals.
"The state has 15 days on whether or not we want to petition the state Supreme Court for reconsideration of their decision. And we have up to 90 days to petition the U.S. Supreme Court to take this case up on appeal. All options, all legal options, are on the table," Wilson said.
"But regardless, it is my intention right now, assuming that nothing changes, to retry this case as quickly and expeditiously as possible. That is our goal," he said.
Wilson said his office is aiming to bring the case back to court within the next year, though he admitted that timeline is not guaranteed.
"Look, I'm being aspirational when I say this, but we would like to try to get this case up before January 2027. That would be our goal," he said.
Murdaugh, 54, was convicted of gunning down his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, at the family’s hunting estate in 2021. The case exposed a web of lies including Murdaugh’s opioid addiction and millions in stolen client funds.
Despite the legal win, Murdaugh will not be walking free. He remains behind bars serving lengthy sentences for a string of financial crimes that cemented his fall from power.
For his financial crimes, Murdaugh was sentenced in state court to 27 years in prison after pleading guilty to 22 counts including money laundering and breach of trust. In federal court, he received a 40-year sentence for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud, which he is serving concurrently with his state time.

Though his murder convictions and subsequent life sentences were overturned by the South Carolina Supreme Court on Wednesday, he remains in prison to serve the financial sentences.
Fetterman calls out 'absolute socialist' Seattle mayor and 'avowed communist' Graham Platner
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., called out several rising Democratic stars on Wednesday as outright "socialist" or "communist" in the party's efforts to cater to the fringe base.
"I think the extremism is driving it without a doubt," Fetterman said in a Reason interview. "Look at the primaries, you know, all across in the Senate and in the House and look at the kinds of people that have already been elected."
He continued, "Like, for example, the mayor in Seattle, she's an absolute socialist, if not more, how people [go] 'hey, I'm leaving' and she's like, ‘bye’ and just describe that kind of thing."
SOCIALIST MAYOR’S BLUNT 1-WORD MESSAGE TO FLEEING MILLIONAIRES SPARKS OUTRAGE: ‘WE'RE DOOMED’
Fetterman was referring to Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, who last month laughed off the idea of millionaires leaving the state based on her support for a progressive tax.
"I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are, like, super overblown. And if — the ones that leave, like, bye," Wilson remarked to an audience at Seattle University.
Fetterman then moved on to target New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who recently proposed a "pied-à-terre" tax on luxury second homes owned by wealthy city residents.
NYC MAYOR MAMDANI CALLS THREAT OF RICH PEOPLE LEAVING NYC OVER TAXES 'IMAGINED'
"Then, of course New York, that's its own situation, too. And I thought [Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis had a great line saying, you know, Mamdani is my favorite real estate agent now. And it's driving people away. People can move, and they can just vote, you know, with their feet. That explains why Florida continues to flourish. But a lot of these states like New York and other blue states, we've read that $2 trillion dollars have migrated out of these states too," Fetterman said.
He also warned that Democrats have moved so far into the extreme that they have begun to support communism, citing Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner as an example.
"I mean in Maine, for example, Graham Platner, he's an avowed communist. He described himself as a communist. Antifa, that's not a slur from me. That's not GOP kinds of hit. That's his own words, how he described that," Fetterman said.
Fox News Digital reached out to Wilson and Mamdani's offices as well as Platner's campaign for comment.
Fetterman, who referred to himself as a "pro-capitalist Democrat," called out the extremists in his party for pushing out billionaires and millionaires while the party accepts billionaires and millionaires funding progressive causes.
"I don't think those are the kind of people that are the problem now. And if you make billionaires...they love the billionaires that fund those kinds of causes and those kind of organizations that are actually driving a lot of the protesting and that's where that energy is as well," Fetterman said.
Carson Hocevar says his mom was more fired up about him going to the Met Gala than winning at Talladega
It's been a good few weeks to be Carson Hocevar, driver of the No. 77 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports.
Last month, Hocevar won his first career NASCAR Cup Series race when he took the checkered flag in the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, then dropped a celebration for the ages.
Then just days later, he became the first NASCAR driver to hit the Met Gala since Jeff Gordon went in 2010.
Sure, it's usually a parade of people sniffing their own farts in dumb costumes, but it's still a big deal for the sport to get a driver there.
So, you've got to imagine that Hocevar's family is pretty pumped for him, but guess as to which one of those achievements his mom was more excited about.
While the Cup Series is at Dover this weekend for the NASCAR All-Star Race, Hocevar dropped by Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the second day of Indianapolis 500 practice.
During the visit, he was hanging around with Andretti Global — a corporate cousin of Spire Motorsports, as both fall under the TWG Motorsports umbrella — but also took some time to visit Will Buxton, James Hinchcliffe and Townsend Bell in the IndyCar on FOX booth.
There, he talked about the Met Gala and how fired up his mom was about him being there.
"I laugh that, like, my mom thought winning Talladega was cool and everything," he said. "(But it was) a lifelong accomplishment for her son to go to the Met Gala."
Hocevar also revealed that he was there not because NASCAR had purchased a table at the event, but because organizers had reached out to them.

"The craziest part was that they reached out to NASCAR," he said. "It wasn't NASCAR paying for a ticket or trying to hook me up or a sponsor. It was literally like NASCAR got the car and was like, 'Do you know what this is? Would you want to go?"
Well, like I said, as much of an eyeroll as the Met Gala gets — deservedly so — having Hocevar on-hand was a big win for NASCAR when it comes to getting eyes on the sport.
Now, it's just a matter of how many of those eyes that were watching Met Gala coverage will tune into a race.
Unfortunately, I suspect not as many as they would hope.
Bella Thorne stuns in sheer lace bra as she debuts dramatic return to her signature red hair
Former Disney star Bella Thorne left little to the imagination as she unveiled a revealing lingerie look over the weekend.
The 28-year-old actress slipped into a sheer black lace bra for a series of sizzling snaps that she shared to Instagramon Sunday.
Thorne's bra featured delicate straps and an intricate floral design layered over sheer mesh with a slight cinch at the center.
The "Shake It Up" alum also showed off a dramatic hair transformation as she revealed she had ditched her dark brunette hair and returned to her iconic red locks.

In the caption of her post, Thorne called out her hair makeover, referencing Merida, the redheaded Scottish princess from the hit Disney animated movie "Brave."
"Merida down in this b--------h," Thorne wrote.
In her carousel of photos, Thorne posed for several sultry shots that appeared to be taken in her bedroom.
PAMELA ANDERSON DITCHES ICONIC BLONDE HAIR FOR DRAMATIC NEW LOOK
The "Midnight Sun" actress wore her hair down in loose curls and sported a natural makeup palette that included a rosy blush and a soft pink lipstick.
Thorne's fans quickly flocked to the comments section of her post to rave over her eye-catching look and return to red hair.
"OMG Bella," one fan wrote as another chimed in, "Hello gorgeous."
"you look like a mermaid," one follower commented.
"Red is soo back," another wrote, adding smiley face with heart eyes emojis.
"God, I always wanted you to return to that color, my life, I love you, you are the most perfect," gushed one fan.
"She is baaccck the most beautiful ginger giirrll," added another.
In one of her photos, Thorne flashed the diamond engagement ring that her fiance Mark Emms gave her when he proposed in May 2023 after nine months of dating.
Thorne made headlines last August when she proposed to Emms a year after the British producer first popped the question. The actress shared a video of the intimate moment, which took place in their living room as the two were surrounded by candles, flowers and heart-shaped balloons.
Fans were divided over Thorne's proposal to Emms, with some praising the move as "cute" and an example of "girl power," while others questioned the gesture, asking, "Why propose again?" and urging, "Let’s not normalize this."
Thorne later acknowledged the mixed reaction, saying the response was "totally split down the middle," with supporters cheering her on and critics pushing back on the unconventional moment.
In December 2025, Thorne revealed that she and Emms were postponing their wedding planning until after they wrapped up their current work commitments.

Emms served as a producer for Thorne's upcoming directorial debut "Color Your Hurt." Thorne also produced and wrote the screenplay for the movie in which she stars alongside Jason Parks, Christopher Eccleston, Tammy Blanchard, Gideon Glick and Jordan Alexander.

In addition, Emms is also a producer for Matthew Bright's upcoming "Spring Breakers" sequel "Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain" starring Thorne, Grace Van Dien, Ariel Martin, and True Whitaker.
"We're making our love child, which is this movie we just made together that I wrote and directed," she told E! News. "I think once we're done with this movie — completion and editing, and everything and press — and then we do 'Spring Breakers.'"

"Once we're done with those two, then we will have the brain capacity to think and really do it right," she said of planning their wedding.
During her interview with E! News, Thorne also reflected on her decision to propose to Emms.
"We had gone through so much in a really beautiful way and a lot of dark times as well," she said. "Creating art is really hard. It is so difficult. At some point, right before filming, I wanted to return the love that he had given me when he proposed and make it equal. He was crying. It was so sweet and endearing and authentic."
"It's so shocking and it's so not done that when it does happen, they feel so honored, like 'You chose me?' and you're like, 'Yeah. You chose me and I choose you. This is a two-way street.'"
