The 1975‘s Matty Healy has addressed the controversy surrounding his appearance on The Adam Friedland Show in February.Healy was widely criticised online back in February for his appearance on the podcast, during which he made various inflammatory comments about women and discussed how he believes Harry Styles “gets a pass” on criticism over alleged “queer-baiting”.
Friedland and co-host Nick Mullen then discussed Ice Spice’s heritage, debating whether she has Hawaiian, Inuit or Chinese, before impersonating the accents of those countries and regions.In a new interview with The New Yorker, Healy was asked if he was deliberately “baiting” his fans at the time.“A little bit,” he replied. “But it doesn’t actually matter.
Nobody is sitting there at night slumped at their computer, and their boyfriend comes over and goes, ‘What’s wrong, darling?’ and they go, ‘It’s just this thing with Matty Healy.’ That doesn’t happen.”After the interviewer suggested that “maybe” it does happen, he continued: “If it does, you’re either deluded or you are, sorry, a liar.“You’re either lying that you are hurt, or you’re a bit mental for being hurt.
It’s just people going, ‘Oh, there’s a bad thing over there, let me get as close to it as possible so you can see how good I am.’ And I kind of want them to do that, because they’re demonstrating something so base level.”Healy has, however, shown some contrition over his comments on the podcast about Ice Spice.
