Billie Eilish is keeping it real.
The Grammy winner shared how pornography affected her body and mindset during SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show on December 13.
She admitted she started watching porn when she was only 11. She said, “As a woman, I think porn is a disgrace. I used to watch a lot of porn, to be honest.”
According to her, sexual imagery caused her to feel like she was “one of the guys”. She explained, “I think it really destroyed my brain and I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn.”
Somehow, what she saw influenced her thoughts when she had sex for the first few times. She explained that she was “not saying no to things that were not good” because “I thought that’s what I was supposed to be attracted to”.
Billie said, “I’m so angry that porn is so loved, and I’m so angry at myself for thinking that it was okay.”
In addition, she shared how porn changed the way she perceived bodies. She said, “The way that vaginas look in porn is f–king crazy. No vaginas look like that. Women’s bodies don’t look like that. We don’t come like that.”
During the interview, the singer shared a bit of her dating life. She said, “I’m not a serial dater”, and that she doesn’t often flirt with other people. She also considers dating a celeb very difficult, saying, “It’s really hard to meet people when people are either terrified of you or think that you’re out of their league.”
The artist used to date rapper Brandon Quention “Q” Adams. She shared, “Last year, I thought that I’d be single for the rest of my life. I genuinely couldn’t even picture myself in a relationship of any sort.” Well, that changed for the Grammy winner who admitted that she was able to get over it fast.
Billie has inspired many people in terms of beauty standards. Fans were used to seeing her in her neon locks but she admitted that going blond this year made her feel like her real self while in public. However, she dyed her hair again with a darker color before her hosting stint on Saturday Night Live last weekend.
