“I think porn is a disgrace. I used to watch a lot of porn, to be honest. I started watching porn when I was, like, 11,” the “Bad Guy” singer said, saying it helped her feel as if she were cool and ‘one of the guys’,” Eilish, who turns 20 on Saturday said.
“I think it really destroyed my brain and I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn,” she added.

The 19-year-old further revealed that COVID-19 might have killed her had she not been vaccinated.
“I didn’t die and I wasn’t going to die but that doesn’t take away from how miserable I was. I mean it was terrible,” she said.
“I want it to be clear that it’s because of the vaccine that I’m fine. I think if I weren’t vaccinated I would have like died because it was bad.”
