Bella Thorne and boyfriend Benjamin Mascolo set sail on a luxury yacht in Tulum

Bella Thorne has been living it up on a lavish Mexican vacation since late December. 

On Friday the 23-year-old actress was spotted with her Italian-born musician boyfriend Benjamin Mascolo, 27, as they enjoyed a day at sea on a luxury yacht. 

Matching in all black, the pair were seen setting sail from Tulum as they left the O’Tulum resort for the day.

Despite an exciting day ahead, Thorne looked a bit glum as she walked behind Ben. 

She opted for a lightweight black ensemble as she wore black shorts and a open silk shirt with her bikini top underneath. 

The Famous In Love actress sported a pair of Chanel dad sandals on her feet, as Mascolo put on an athletic display in a tank top and workout shorts with a pair of Nikes. 

Bella was seen sitting at the front of the boat as she slipped a pair of flashy oversized shades on her face.

Thorne revealed that she had treated her entirely family to the lavish Mexican holiday as she said, ‘I got to fly my whole family and team out to Mexico this has been a dream of mine my whole life.’

Bella flew her mom Tamara, sisters Kaili and Dani, and at least five other people out from her team via private jet where they spent time in Cancun before landing in Tulum.  

She continued to say she was ‘so so f***in thankful and grateful,’ while adding that they all had been tested for COVID-19 beforehand. 

People were quick to flood the post with comments about the tone deaf nature of her post.

One user wrote, ‘Ok but u wouldn’t have had to get covid tested SO MANY times if you would’ve just stayed home?????’ while another said, ‘ok but girl we are still in a pandemic.’

Thorne responded, ‘Which is why we were tested every couple days and wore masks when in public. Everyone in our group was tested. Before, during and after.’ 

Another was less nice with her comment as she said: 

‘what a waste of tests, people need them for front line workers, not rich la dumba**es, they aren’t unlimited for you to have a fun holiday, didn’t say I expected that type of intelligence from you though.’

Her mom Tamara was having none of it and got defensive as she hit back at the comments: 

‘Why do you not write this on all the other photos of celebs on vacation. I’ve seen a ton in my news feed. Do you just enjoy bullying and harassing someone that you’ve never even met?’

She continued to call a follower, ‘Rude AF,’ as her trolling responses in defense of her daughter came off incredibly petty.

Despite Thorne’s financial ability to travel during the pandemic, LA County is in serious lockdown mode amid an outrageous 890,000 number of total cases to date. 

As of Friday the city had a death toll of over 300 in one day from Covid-related cases, which was double the amount of daily cases for non-virus-related deaths. 

Additionally she had come from Big Bear prior to traveling to Mexico where two cases of the more contagious B117 strain of Coronavirus were found there on January 1. 

Bella joins a long list of LA-based celebrities like The Kardashians, Bella Hadid and Chrissy Teigen who opted to jet out to enjoy their holiday in warmer places with less Coronavirus restrictions.
