Billie Eilish has revealed that his “hate for my body” was so bad when he was a preteen, that he “wasn’t really eating” and took pills to lose weight. A few months ago the star faced severe criticism after a series of images circulated on the Internet of her with a sleeveless shirt, tight to the body and with his arms fully exposed, an unexpected look in his box .
“I think the people around me were more worried than I was, because the reason I used to attack was because of my body“The singer explained in a cover interview with Vanity Fair. Billie, 19, has been open with her struggles with self-harm and a negative body image, so she shared the harm that the things when she was still a girl.
“To be honest with you, I just started wearing loose clothing for my body,” the “Therefore I Am” singer said. “However, I was very, very happy, mostly, to be in this place in my life, because if that had happened three years ago, when I was in the middle of my horrible body relationship, or five years ago, I actually I wasn’t eating … I was starving, “he added.
In her confession, Billie maintained “I remember taking a pill that told me it would make me lose weight, and it just made me urinate in bed, when I was 12. It’s crazy … Yes. I thought that would be the only struggle with my hatred for my body, but I guess the internet also hates my body. That’s great. “
This isn’t the first time Billie Eilish has talked about his insecurity
Months before Billie’s photos went viral online, she talked to GQ magazine about why she started wearing dresses so big to hide her figure. “Here’s a bomb: I’ve never felt wanted,” he began. “My previous boyfriends never made me feel wanted. None of them. And it’s a big thing in my life that I feel like no one has ever physically wanted me.”
The singer continued, “I dress the way I dress, because I don’t like to think about you, I mean no one, everyone, judging or size,” she said. “But that doesn’t mean I won’t wake up one day and decide to wear a sleeveless t-shirt, which I’ve done before.” Now that she has a more bearable and acceptable “body relationship” for herself, she’s likely to wear those kinds of outfits again, and even some new trends.
