Billie Eilish says she will “never” talk about her sexuality or dating life again after backlash

Billie Eilish said she would “never” reveal details about her personal life again.

The 22-year-old singer faced backlash for her outspoken comments about sex earlier this year. In a cover story interview for the November issue of Vogue, Eilish assured that she won't be so outspoken in the future.

“I wish no one knew about my sexuality or my dating life. Never, never, never,” said the nine-time Grammy winner. “And I hope they never do it again.”

“And I’m never talking about my sexuality again,” she continued. “And I’m never talking about who I’m dating again.”

Eilish made headlines and sparked controversy when she discussed sex and shared intimate details about her experiences during an interview with Rolling Stone in April.

“Basically, I talk about sex whenever I can,” she said at the time. “This is literally my favorite topic.”

“My experience as a woman is that it's viewed so strangely,” Eilish continued. “People are so uncomfortable talking about it and it scares them when women are comfortable and communicative about their sexuality.”

The “Happier Than Ever” singer told the outlet that “self-pleasure is a huge, huge part of my life” and a “huge, huge help to me” due to “extreme body issues and dysmorphia that I've had.” all my life.

Eilish also spoke openly about exploring her sexuality and discovering her attraction to women, which she said inspired a song on her latest hit album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.

“This is so unnatural,” Eilish added. “We are all babies. We are all little children growing up and learning ourselves.”

Eilish will kick off her “Hit Me Hard and Soft” tour Friday night at TD Garden in Boston. The tour marks the first time the singer has toured without her brother and partner Finneas O'Connell playing guitar alongside her or her parents accompanying her.

O'Connell, 27, will appear on stage with his younger sister at some of her tour stops, but told Vogue that he believes Eilish is ready to strike out on her own.

“There were a lot of years where I felt like I would never miss a show because Billie was, you know, 16 or 17 and I really felt like I had to be there every minute,” he said. “And the truth is, she’s really grown up in the last few years of touring.”

“She has a really disciplined way of being on tour,” Finneas added. “She sleeps all day to make sure she is rested for the show. She does hours of physical therapy. She does hours of vocal warm-up exercises.”

Eilish began performing with the Los Angeles Children's Chorus at age 8 and began writing music at age 11. The pop star was 13 years old when she shot to fame following the release of her viral hit “Ocean Eyes,” written and produced by Finneas. Since then, Eilish has released three studio albums and undertaken seven concert tours.

While speaking to Vogue, Eilish shared that she has suffered physical injuries while performing over the years.

“Basically, I’ve been in pain since I was nine years old,” she said. “Growing up, I always heard people say, 'Just wait until you're older! You will be in so much pain!' And I remember being so angry.

Eilish admitted that starting her career at such a young age wasn't always easy.

“And the truth is, it’s the rest of my life,” she added.

Elish told Vogue that she now has a more optimistic outlook on touring.

“I didn’t realize I could make touring enjoyable,” she said. “I was very lonely for many years and that doesn't interest me anymore. I want to enjoy the show as much as I enjoy my days.”
