Singer-songwriter Halsey has revealed a disturbing experience they endured earlier in their career, involving a powerful music executive invading their privacy. Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Halsey shared that the executive, while in a celebratory setting with Halsey and their management, went through nude photos on their phone without their consent.
The incident occurred several years ago when Halsey handed their phone to the executive, requesting him to text a photo of them together to his niece. Upon returning, Halsey found the executive scrolling through their personal photos.
Halsey described the shock and demoralization they felt, questioning their self-worth in the aftermath. They described feeling “regressed” and losing the sense of accomplishment they had felt in their career. While admitting to facing worse incidents, Halsey emphasized the lasting impact of this particular experience, noting its nonchalant nature.
The incident highlights the power dynamics often present in the music industry, where even individuals who believe they have reached a level of protection can still be vulnerable to such breaches.
Halsey’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of consent and privacy in all situations, particularly within the often-blurry lines of power and trust that exist in the music industry.
