Billie Eilish told BBC Breakfast that she has stopped reading Instagram comments for the sake of her mental health.

"I stopped like two days ago," Eilish told BBC Breakfast on Tuesday. "Literally two days ago. I stopped reading comments fully."

When asked why, Eilish said: "Because it was ruining my life. Once again."

Her brother and producer Finneas O'Connell said: "I think you might see someone who is, like, a famous celebrity, and you might think, 'Nothing I — you know, sticks and stones — nothing I can say is going to actually be potent to them.'"

"But it all is, it's all very equal online," O'Connell told BBC Breakfast.
 

And Eilish said that online comments are now worse than they have ever been following her increase in profile and five Grammy wins at this year's awards.

Eilish won album of the year ("When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?"), pop vocal album of the year, song of the year ("Bad Guy"), record of the year ("Bad Guy"), and best new artist, beating Ariana Granda to several prizes.

"It's worse. It's way worse than it's ever been right now," she told the BBC.

Eilish and O'Connell were talking to BBC Breakfast about their new James Bond theme "No Time to Die," which was released on February 13th and will be performed at Tuesday's Brit Awards. Eilish and O'Connell said that if Daniel Craig doesn't like the Bond song, it doesn't get the go-ahead.
