When Billie Eilish was almost sent to therapy over her Justin Bieber crush
The documentary, Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry, takes viewers into her life as she made her album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? with her brother Finneas O'Connell. As it fives deep into her personal life, viewers are introduced to Billie's Bieber fever. At one point, her mother, though jokingly, considered taking the star to therapy due to her obsession with Bieber.
"There were days, driving her to dance class and thinking, 'How are we going to cope with this?' She's just lovesick. Desperately in love with Justin Bieber," Baird says in the movie. "We all thought he was amazing. We were never in the 'hater camp' of which for every person in the world there is."
This was not the only occasion when the 22-year-old star's mother opened up about her obsession with the Lonely singer. In an episode of her Apple Music show me & dad radio in 2020, the singer's mom recalled that in 2012 Eilish was so obsessed with Bieber's single and music video for ¡°As Long As You Love Me¡± that they considered taking her to therapy.
"I just want to say, we did consider taking you to therapy because you were in so much pain over Justin Bieber," she said.
When Billie finally met Justin
Billie Eilish first met Justin Bieber at Coachella during Ariana Grande's set. The LUNCH crooner recalled the moment in a 2019 Carpool Karaoke segment on James Corden's show, saying that she was "freaking out" after meeting her childhood crush.
