Billie Eilish has voiced her regrets for making her sexuality and former relationships public and is promising to keep her personal life private from now on. The Grammy-winning singer candidly told Vogue how uneasy it makes her that people know so much about her love life and her sexuality: “I’m never talking about my sexuality or who I’m dating ever again.” This came after she had come out about her attraction to women in Rolling Stone, and the weird rumors that had risen via speculation on the internet about who she was romantically involved with.
This comes after a woman made public comments on a podcast saying Eilish had messaged her and gave her the impression they could have been a couple. In shutting down future discussion, the singer shows the tensions involved in managing fame while setting limits around personal identity. Celebrities deserve the right to their personal space, just as everybody else does.
