Halsey Reveals She's Been Committed Twice Since Becoming an Entertainer
Halsey is on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine (and if you missed it, many celebs supported Halsey for showing her armpit hair in the image.)
Here’s what the 24-year-old singer had to share with the mag…
On confronting mental health issues: “I’ve been committed twice since [I became] Halsey, and no one’s known about it. But I’m not ashamed of talking about it now. It’s been my choice. I’ve said to [my manager], ‘Hey, I’m not going to do anything bad right now, but I’m getting to the point where I’m scared that I might, so I need to go figure this out.’ It’s still happening in my body. I just know when to get in front of it.”
On misogyny and being sexually assaulted: “Here’s what’s fucked up to me. A young man seeks success and power so that he can use it to control people, and a young woman seeks success and power so that she no longer has to worry about being controlled. It’s an illusion, a fucking lie. There is no amount of success or notoriety that makes you safe when you’re a woman. None.”
On criticism she received after talking about a miscarriage: “It was just really weird, to see how people were like, ‘Well, I’m going to police the validity of this experience that she had.’ You know?”
