Phoebe Bridgers says “fans” “bullied” her on way to father’s funeral
Phoebe Bridgers says supposed “fans” “bullied” her on her way to her father’s funeral earlier this year.
A week after announcing her father's death, the singer was spotted walking through LAX with comedian Bo Burnham amid rumours that she and Irish actor Paul Mescal had ended their relationship of roughly one and a half years.
In a new interview with Them magazine alongside her boygenius bandmates Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, Bridgers condemned the supposed supporters and said she was “bullied” by fans during that difficult period.
“People with my picture as their Twitter picture, who claim to like my music, f***ing bullied me at the airport on the way to my father’s funeral this year,” she said.
Adding: “I, at one of the lowest points of my life, saw people who claim to love me f***ing dehumanise me and shame me and f***ing bully me on the way to my dad’s wake.”
