As more and more young girls and women struggle with pornography addiction, Eilish stated, “It got to a point where I couldn’t watch anything else unless it was violent, I didn’t think it was attractive,” she confessed.

Eilish also slammed the porn industry for creating unrealistic expectations of women’s bodies saying, “I’m so angry that porn is so loved…And I’m so angry at myself for thinking that it was OK.”
