Billie Eilish Was Once Cheated On By A ‘Pathetic Little Man’ And Still Has No Idea Why He Suddenly Cut All Contact
The Lunch singer, 22, was speaking to a potential partner last December but has not heard from him since.
Billie first came to public attention in 2015 with her debut single Ocean Eyes and has since become one of the biggest artists in the world, but admitted her fame had cost her her friends.
She said, ‘Well, I lost all my friends when I became famous.’
‘Suddenly I became famous and couldn’t relate to anyone. It was difficult. It was really difficult.’
He added: “And then I turned 20 and I remember looking around the room and just employing people.” And all of them 15 years or more older than me.’
Luckily, she’s still close with her best friend, Zoe, and the members of her staff who are friends.
However, one of her employees quit and never spoke to her again.
She recalled: ‘And it was the worst thing that ever happened to me. And that made me realize ‘oh wait, this is a job.’
“If they left me, they would never see me again.”
Despite that, he said he has since gotten in touch with his old friends and made some new ones along the way.
Billie added: ‘Exactly a year ago, I reconnected with a group of old friends and now I have lots of friends. I already have a team! I could literally cry about it. “It has been the greatest thing that has happened to me.”
He added: “And then I turned 20 and I remember looking around the room and just employing people.” And all 15 years or older than me’ (you can see snapshots of the party)
At the time of her 20th birthday, she shared snaps from the event that only included a photo of her cake and an empty bounce house.
Appearing on the BBC podcast ‘Miss Me?’, she told hosts Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver (seen) she said: ‘Well, I lost all my friends when I became famous.’
He said that when he recently went with them to a party at Coachella, he burst into tears.
The star explained: “I was like, ‘Guys, I have friends and I love them so much, and it’s been so long since I’ve had friends.'” I cried… and it’s literally because now I have friendship again.’
The singer-songwriter went on to say that the lyrics, “But with a little help from my friends, I found the light in the tunnel at the end,” from Lily Allen’s 2006 debut single, Smile, helped inspire her to make new friends.
She added: “I used to want to cry when I heard that line because I didn’t feel that way, because I didn’t have friends.”
And I remember thinking that I want to feel like that. And I want to listen to this song that I relate to in every way and hear that line about friends and say, “My friends helped me get through it.”
Billie will perform in Paris on June 11 after releasing her first self-directed music video to accompany her new single Chihiro.
The video stars Nat Wolff, known for The Naked Brothers Band, The Fault In Our Stars and Paper Towns.
Chihiro is the second single from their album Hit Me Hard and Soft, which came out in May and follows Lunch.
The Los Angeles native shared that she had “imagined a dream narrative” for the music video.
Eilish said that in an effort to “symbolize the different corners of the mind,” she included images of “long, dark hallways and doors closing” in the clip.
In the video, Billie is seen walking down a series of hallways in a drab institutional building, eventually meeting Natt.
Chihiro is the name of the main character of the 2001 cult Japanese film Spirited Away.
