Previously, in an interview with an entertainment portal, Billie Eilish had spoken about how her rise to fame was negatively affecting her mental health. She even revealed that her popularity was causing her to feel suicidal at that time. Now, in a recent interview with a magazine, Billie Eilish once again opened up about the state of her mental health, where she compared her mindset to that of Britney Spears during her 2007 meltdown where she shaved off her hair.
Billie Eilish stated that as a young fan, she always wondered what was wrong with all the celebs who were having a public meltdown. She said that she always admonished celebs like Britney for their scandals and breakdowns, not being able to relate to their mental state. However, as she grew up and started to become a popular celebrity herself, Billie Eilish revealed that she started to understand the reason behind their dramatic meltdowns.
Billie Eilish later added that when she was in her dark places, she would worry that she was also going to become the stereotype that everybody thought young artists became. Then she talked about her state of mind last year during her tour, stating that she was at her lowest point when she was in Europe. Billie further added that she was so low that she feared she was going to have a breakdown and shave her head, as Britney did back in 2007.
