Billie Eilish 'lost all of her friends' when she found fame. The 22-year-old singer revealed that she lost most of her friendships when she gained attention for her song Ocean Eyes at the age of 14. While her best friend Zoe remained in her circle, the only other people she spent time with were her employees. She said on Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver's Miss Me? Podcast. ”Well I lost all of my friends when I got famous. I suddenly was famous and I couldn't relate to anybody. It was tough. It was really hard.” "And then it was my 20th birthday and I remember looking around the room and it was only people that I employ. And all 15 years or more older than me.” After one of her employees quit and stopped talking to her, Billie realised it was only "a job" to that person, and as a result, she now finds it difficult to be friends with people she works with "because I'm very freaked out by loss and I have a lot of abandonment problems”. The Lunch hitmaker went on to share that she reconnected with many of her old friends last year and now has "so many" pals. ”I have a crew now! I could literally cry about it. It's been the greatest thing that's happened to me.” Elsewhere in the interview, the Oscar-winning singer admitted she was ghosted by somebody in December. ”To this day, (he) never texted me again. It was somebody that I'd also known for years and had a plan, the day of, on the phone, making a plan, this is my address, be there at 3pm - never heard from him again. Ever. I couldn't believe it.” Billie later learned that he was dating someone else, adding, "And I was like 'oh'. But I didn't know people still did that. I genuinely didn't know people did that.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
