Billie Eilish revealed in an interview this week that she started watching pornography at a young age, something she feels “incredibly devastated” about.
“As a woman, I think porn is a disgrace. I used to watch a lot of porn, to be honest. I started watching porn when I was like 11,” Eilish told Howard Stern on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show. “I think it really destroyed my brain and I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn.”
The 19-year-old said she first began watching porn because it made her feel like “one of the guys.” Now she believes watching violent pornography caused her to suffer from sleep paralysis and night terrors.
She also said it distorted her view of sex and relationships.
“The first few times I, you know, had sex, I was not saying no to things that were not good. It was because I thought that’s what I was supposed to be attracted to,” Eilish said.
“Women’s bodies don’t look like that. We don’t come like that,” she added. “I’m so angry that porn is so loved, and I’m so angry at myself for thinking that it was OK.”
