Halsey is sharing details about a “demoralizing” experience she had with a music executive. During an interview with Call Her Daddy, the musician revealed that a “powerful” exec once went through her nude photos on her phone without her consent during a dinner.
“And when that happened, in that moment, I was like, ‘You’re nothing. You’re nothing. You’ll always be nothing,’” Halsey said of the experience. “You’re still just that fucking girl who’s getting taken advantage of, or like men are talking about you behind your back, or you’re some sort of like, collateral’. I was like, ‘You’re nothing.’ It was so demoralizing.”
The Great Impersonator musician recounted that she was out having a “very celebratory” dinner with the “really powerful executive,” who asked to take a photo with Halsey to show his niece. When she left to use the restroom, the exec had access to her unlocked phone, and when she returned, he was scrolling through her nude photos.
“I saw he was going through my nudes on my phone,” Halsey said. “I was just frozen…I didn’t even know what to do. I was like, ‘Did I just imagine that? Was that an accident?’ I was thinking, ‘Did the phone scroll up? What the heck just happened?’”
Halsey said she feared the man had possibly sent himself the nude as well.
“Did he text them to himself and then delete the messages? I don’t even know where these are now,” she said.
The new interview with Halsey comes about a week after the singer released her album The Great Impersonator, which Rolling Stone described as her “rawest, darkest” music ever.
