She later added in a separate post that she had "so many gross stories" about working with him on the film. "Including in his last scene to speed up and rev his engine so he could cover me completely in dirt," she said. "Idk I guess he thought it was funny to humiliate me in front of the entire crew.

"Having to go in his trailer absolutely alone because he refused to speak to the director or producers - so I had to convince him to show up and complete his job, as he shouted crazy demands that he wanted from the producers."

Bella added that she felt "uncomfortable" in his trailer by herself but had to beg him to finish the film. "I did what I was asked to do and what was best for the movie," she said. "Mickey should've never put anybody in that movie in any of those positions that he did."
