Billie Eilish says she still doesn’t “watch” social media

Billie Eilish has reiterated her desire to stop looking at social media.

The singer-songwriter has spoken several times about her online media presence in the past saying that she previously avoided social media after comments about her body.

Now, in a new clip from an upcoming podcast interview Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend which you can listen to below, Eilish expressed her views on the subject once again.

She explained: “I don’t look at it anymore. I deleted everything from my phone which is a big problem for me. Because dude, you didn’t have internet to grow up. For me, it was a big part of, not my childhood, I wasn’t an iPad baby, thank goodness, but honestly, I feel like I grew up in the perfect age of the internet that wasn’t so internet. And, I had a childhood like that, and I was doing stuff all the time.

“And then when I became a tween, there were iPhones, and as I got a little older, there was everything that has become, but being a tween and a teenager on the internet, those were my people, I was one of them.

But as she became more famous and saw videos of herself online, she became discouraged.

“I am an internet person… And not change anything about the person I am or the life I live, and keep doing what I do over the years, and little by little the videos I watch and the things I I see on the Internet are about my . ‘Eww, stinky.’ I don’t like that,” she said.

“That’s the other thing that scares me about the internet: how gullible it makes you. Everything I read on the internet I believe. Me. I know for sure that’s stupid, and I shouldn’t do it because I have proof that it’s not all true; almost none of that is true.”

the podcast Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend kicks off on Monday (March 6) with Norah Jones, followed by Japanese Breakfast (March 13), Neil Young (March 15), Coldplay’s Chris Martin (March 20) and Eilish and Finneas on March 27.

Meanwhile, Eilish was recently granted a temporary restraining order against a stalker who stripped in front of her house.
