Halsey says ‘powerful’ music director took nude photos without consent

“I thought, ‘You’re nothing.’ It was so demoralizing,” she said

Halsey shares details about a “demoralizing” experience she had with a music manager. During an interview with Call her daddythe musician revealed that a “powerful” executive once went through her nude photos on her phone without her consent during a dinner.

“And when that happened, at that moment I thought, ‘You’re nothing. You are nothing. You will always be nothing,” Halsey said of the experience. “You’re still just that damn girl who gets taken advantage of, or like men talk about you behind your back, or you’re some kind of collateral.” I thought, ‘You’re nothing.’ It was so demoralizing.”

The great imitator The musician shared that she had a “very festive” dinner with the “really powerful director,” who asked to take a photo with Halsey to show his niece. When she left to use the restroom, the director had access to her unlocked phone, and when she returned, he was scrolling through her nude photos.

“I saw him scrolling through my nudes on my phone,” Halsey said. “I was just frozen…I didn’t even know what to do. I thought, ‘Did I just imagine that? Was that an accident?’ I thought, ‘Did the phone scroll up? What the hell happened?’”

Halsey said she feared the man may have sent himself naked as well.
