Billie Eilish admits watching porn at age 11 "destroyed" her brain
New York, New York - Billie Eilish (19) says she watched her first pornography film at the tender age of 11, and it changed her life forever.
During her recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show on Monday, the 19-year-old revealed that consuming erotic flicks way too early "destroyed" her and affected her sex life.
"I used to watch a lot of porn, to be honest," she admitted. "I started watching porn when I was like 11 ... I think it really destroyed my brain and I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn."
She said she believes that watching what she called "abusive" sex films caused her to have sleep paralysis and night terrors.
Billie also explained that it negatively shaped her own sexual experiences.
"The first few times I had sex, I was not saying no to things that were not good," Billie said. "It was because I thought that’s what I was supposed to be attracted to."
Today, the singer said she is "angry that porn is so loved, and I’m so angry at myself for thinking that it was okay."
Billie went on to denounce the portrayal of women in sex films.
"As a woman, I think porn is a disgrace," she said. "The way that vaginas look in porn is f***ing crazy. No vaginas look like that. Women’s bodies don’t look like that."
The topic of dating also came up in the interview. The star revealed that being famous has its downfalls.
"It’s really hard to meet people when people are either terrified of you or think that you’re out of their league," she said.
Billie further explained that last year, she assumed that she would remain single forever, but has since changed her mind.
Yet, the Grammy winner kept her current relationship status to herself.
