“Getting closer to finding this guy,” the former Disney starlet wrote in an Instagram story on Friday (via Us Weekly).

The "Famous in Love" star also lashed out in another Instagram story at those shaming her for taking nude photos at all.
“Blaming girls for taking the photo in the first place? Is sick and honestly disgusting. So what, a girl can’t send her boyfriend that she misses photos of her that are sexy? Things he’s already seen? I, as a woman, should be so scared walking around my home, being on my phone, doing anything? Is that what u want our women to be like? Scared of the masses for their sexuality?? Is that what u want? I don’t,” she fumed.
