“My own fans are hands down meaner to me than any other people on the planet,” Halsey shared in a Tumblr post. “Not speaking for all of you, of course. But it used to be just a minority that were awful to me and now it seems like a majority have only stuck around to chime in occasionally with their opinion of how much they hate me or how awful I am.”

Halsey noted that “it’s hard to want to engage in a space that is completely devoid of any kindness, sympathy, patience; or to be honest human decency.”

The singer said that they had spent “years hiding from the interactions for fear that this EXACT thing would happen.”

“I don’t know man. I almost lost my life. I am not gonna do anything that doesn’t make me happy anymore. I can’t spiritually afford it,” they added. “When I got sick all I could think about was getting better so I could come back and be a part of THIS again, but I don’t even know what this is anymore and I want to crawl in a hole and I regret coming back.”

Halsey released their first single in June titled “The End,” where they open up about their private health battle.

“In 2022, I was first diagnosed with Lupus SLE and then a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. Both of which are currently being managed or in remission; and both of which I will likely have for the duration of my life,” Halsey shared in an Instagram post on June 5. “After a rocky start, I slowly got everything under control with the help of amazing doctors.”

Halsey continued, “After 2 years, I’m feeling better and I’m more grateful than ever to have music to turn to. I can’t wait to get back where I belong: With you all Singing and screaming my heart out.”
