Billie Eilish Was Almost Sent to Therapy Over Justin Bieber

Billie Eilish was apparently so obsessed with Justin Bieber that her mom thought about sending her to therapy. Say what?

Billie’s mom, Maggie Baird, was a recent guest on her daughter’s Apple Music show, me & dad radio, where she told the anecdote.

In 2012, Maggie said Billie would play Justin’s hit “As Long As You Love Me” and just… sob. She recalled “driving to the dance studio with Billie, playing this song, sobbing, and then driving back and sobbing.”

She continued, “And the video, and Billie talking about it, and being excited it was coming out, and just crying and crying . . . I just want to say, we did consider taking you to therapy because you were in so much pain over Justin Bieber.”

Billie also touched on it.

“There was a period where I cried every single day of my life, when I was like 13, 14, 15,” she said. “Every single day I cried. And 17, 18 I cried barely at all. I’m proud to say I barely cry anymore and it’s one thing I’ve overcome.”

That being said, it’s a super big deal that she no longer cries over Justin.

“This is a big deal,” she reiterated. “Not that it’s wrong to cry, but it’s a good thing I feel happier in my life and I don’t want to cry anymore.”

Well, we’re happy for you, Billie!
