Halsey has responded to fan criticism surrounding the release of her latest single, Lucky, expressing regret over her return to the music scene.
The Closer singer expressed her displeasure with fans who had "stuck around to chime in occasionally with their opinion” in a post on her Tumblr profile, tiredandlonelymuse.
She wrote, “My own fans are hands down meaner to me than any other people on the planet.”
Halsey added, “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.”
She continued, “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. Especially after years of 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.”
Halsey concluded, “When I got sick,” adding, “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.”
But the singer didn't mention whose critique she was responding to.
