Entertainment desk: the sour-sweet relationship of stars with social media As Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have brought their fans closer, they have also faced many negative issues. Many stars have even had to seek treatment after being mocked on social media. Selena Gomez announced a break from social media last week. Another singer, Billie Eilish, deleted the account. News CNN
Billie Eilish recently appeared on the ‘Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend’ podcast. A tape of the show released before the broadcast has surfaced. It was there that Billy was heard talking about social media. The Grammy-winning singer said that she has deleted all the social media apps on her phone. Billy has been erratic on Instagram for the past few weeks. It was understood in this announcement that it was a preparation to wrap itself up.
The singer said, “I don’t see these (social media) anymore, so I deleted all the apps.”
Billie Eilish is twenty-one years old. He has grown up during the time of the wide spread of the net world, so it is very important for him to keep himself away from the internet and social media. The ‘Happier Than Ever’ singer is pleased with herself for finally doing the hard work. Calling himself an ‘internet kid’, Billy said, ‘I grew up in a time when childhood without the internet was unimaginable. But luckily, I stayed as far away from the internet as possible. Computer use and games have all been done, but less.
A lot of information is published on the Internet without verification—this is also a big reason for leaving social media, says Billy. “Whenever I watch a video about myself, I get shocked. I once saw a serious video where I was called a “terrible person”. I am so stupid that I believe what I read on the Internet. Later, I saw that almost all the information I see is fake. But people believe these things when they hear them.
The podcast will be released on March 27. In it, Billie Eilish talks about various topics, including personal life and music.
