Horrors! Billie Eilish is gonna have to give up her signature neon green talons, apparently. The singer posted that one of her nails was ripped off, thereby damaging her own nail underneath and leaving it bloody! Yuck!
But okay, the real story is that Billie gave an interview to Rolling Stone magazine and talked about her depression and anxiety and the body dysmorphia she suffered in her earlier teen years. She explains she ruptured the plate in her hip -- in an advanced hip-hop dance class -- when she was 13. It sent her spiraling into depression, but no one noticed: "It sent me down a hole. I went through a whole self-harming phase — we don’t have to go into it. But the gist of it was, I felt like I deserved to be in pain ... When anyone else thinks about Billie Eilish at 14, they think of all the good things that happened. But all I can think of is how miserable I was. How completely distraught and confused. Thirteen to 16 was pretty rough."
She's feeling better these days, though: "I haven’t been depressed in a minute, which is great,†she says. “Seventeen has probably been the best year of my life. I’ve liked 17 ... Sometimes I see girls at my shows with scars on their arms, and it breaks my heart. I don’t have scars anymore because it was so long ago. But I’ve said to a couple of them, ‘Just be nice to yourself.’ Because I know. I was there." Preach, girl!
