Now in a recent interview with Vogue, Billie Eilish broke her silence on struggling with body image issues and said, “Going through my teenage years of hating myself and all that stupid s***, a lot of it came from my anger toward my body, and how mad I was at how much pain it’s caused me, and how much I’ve lost because of things that happened to it.”
At the age of 13, Billie Eilish sustained a hip injury after she had multiple injuries in the lower body and was diagnosed with hypermobility later. It took her years to come to terms with her injuries and she finally started embracing her body while developing a new relationship with it.
The Bad Guy singer said, “I felt like my body was gaslighting me for years. I had to go through a process of being like, my body is actually me. And it’s not out to get me.”
