Billie Eilish, a Grammy-winning musician, has spoken about her addiction to seeing pornography since she was 11 years old, and how it brought her nightmares and ruined up her dating life.
On Monday, Eilish, who turns 20 on Saturday, was a guest on Sirius XM radio’s “The Howard Stern Show.”
Pornography, in my opinion, is a shame. To be honest, I used to watch a lot of porn. “I started viewing porn when I was like 11,” the “Bad Guy” singer explained, adding that it made her feel “cool” and “one of the guys.”

Eilish is recognized for her frequently harsh lyrics, having been homeschooled in Los Angeles and winning seven Grammy Awards.
She talks about being home alone and diverting herself with pornography while recalling a failed relationship in the ballad “Male Fantasy” from her second album “Happier Than Ever.”
Eilish admitted that she is now unhappy with herself for believing that watching porn was appropriate.
I didn’t say no to things that weren’t good the first couple of times I had sex. She explained, “It was because I felt that’s what I was meant to be drawn to.”

At the age of 18, Eilish became the youngest person in history to win all four of the major Grammy Awards in the same year when she took home the statuettes for new artist, album, record, and song of the year in 2020. She began her career wearing baggy clothes to avoid people commenting on her figure.
The singer admitted that dating has become difficult due to her celebrity. “It’s incredibly difficult to meet people when they’re either afraid of you or believe you’re out of their league,” Eilish told Stern.
