Halsey Shares “Demoralizing” Story Of Music Executive Looking At Their Nude Photos Without Consent

During a recent appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper, Halsey shared a disturbing story about an inappropriate experience she had years ago. “I was out and I was with this really powerful executive who works in music in some capacity,” Halsey recalled. “It was very celebratory. I never felt unsafe or anything.” The exec asked if he could send a photo to his niece that Halsey took of the two of them, and the pop star handed over their unlocked photo when she went to the bathroom. When Halsey returned, he was looking at nude photos stored on their camera roll. “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? What the heck just happened?’” The pop star called the experience “demoralizing,” particularly “because it was so nonchalant.” (Variety)
