Billie Eilish's phone is now internet-free: 'I'm like: Ew! Stinky! I don't like that'

Billie Eilish has nuked "the internet" from her phone, she said Thursday, in part because she was tired of believing the things she read about herself online.

The "Bad Guy" singer told Conan O'Brien that one thing she hates the internet for is "how gullible it makes you."

"Anything I read on the internet I believe. Me! And I know for a fact that's stupid and I shouldn't do that because I have proof that it's not all true. Almost none of it's true," said the 21-year-old, who appeared with brother Finneas O'Connell on the comic's "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" podcast. "It's, like, little things, small white lies, that go over everybody's head, but everyone believes."
