AMEN TO THAT, Billie!
From E!:
Billie Eilish is getting honest about internet trolls.
The 18-year-old singer and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, opened up about the topic during a new interview with BBC Breakfast.
When Louise Minchin asked the five-time Grammy winner if she still read everything posted on Instagram, the “bad guy” star revealed she’d “stopped, like, two days ago. ”
“I stopped reading comments fully,” Eilish said, later explaining “it was ruining my life.”
She then reflected on the hate she’s received from followers.
“It’s weird,” Eilish continued. “Like, the cooler the things you get to do are, the more people hate you. It’s crazy.”
In addition, Eilish said people are willing to say “anything for a joke” and to “make somebody laugh.”
“I’ve experienced that back in, you know, growing up, I’d say things that I thought people would laugh at and then later I realized, like, that wasn’t cool to say,” she said.
