Billie Eilish opened up about how social media ruined her life

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, “I stopped reading comments fully, as 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, the more people hate you. It's crazy.” When asked about a possible solution, she said that she didn't have an answer. “Cancel culture is insane. I mean, that's not what has been happening. It's just been, like, just the internet is a bunch of trolls, you know? And it's, like, the problem is a lot of it is really funny. I think that's the issue, that's why nobody really stops because it's funny.” O'Connell also suggested some may feel like they have no public voice. “You feel like your voice is very quiet – even though on platforms like Twitter and Instagram it can reach them directly," he said.
