Matty Healy has issued another public apology for his controversial behaviour, which included making racist and misogynistic remarks.
Earlier this year, the 1975 frontman faced backlash when past comments resurfaced, particularly in the context of his relationship with Taylor Swift. Some of his comments included explicit remarks about masturbating to clips of “persecuted” women and racist comments towards rapper Ice Spice.
Matty Healy Doesn’t Back Down From Expressing Regret Over His Comments & Behavior
Healy, who is the son of “Loose Women” actress Denise Welch, continued to reflect on her past behavior and controversial comments during a recent visit. At his band’s Hollywood Bowl concert on Monday night, where he also announced their “temporary hiatus,” the singer publicly apologized again.
The record producer stated that although he had tried to portray the character of a “21st century rock star,” he realized when he had gone too far and needed accountability. As he said:
“Because some of my actions have hurt some people, I apologize to those people, and I promise to do better in the future. I think it is also important for me to express my intentions, so that everyone knows that there is no bad intention coming from me. You see, as an artist, I want to create an environment for myself to perform where not everything I do is taken literally.”
Explaining the complexity of it all, the 34-year-old noted that he’s “sort of done an exaggerated version” of himself on other levels, whether “in print or on podcasts and in an often misguided attempt to fulfill the type of character role. of a star.” 21st century rock.”

“Sometimes playing pretend is the only way you can really find out who you are, and you might as well say that men would rather do offensive impressions for attention than go to therapy,” Healy concludes.
Since the entire apology was recorded on video and so on posted on X, fans have the opportunity to share their opinions. While one demanded that the “Marauder” hitmaker is “very brave and mature,” another recorded, “Wow. He actually sounded sincere. The last line about making offensive jokes instead of going to therapy – quite appropriate and poignant.”
“It’s a bit late don’t you think- ? one apology won’t do for everything you’ve done,” a third netizen said informed “Somebody Else” singer, as a skeptical audience wondering, “how do we know it’s not satire. At this point I’m not going to take anything he says seriously.”
Likewise, the fifth X user written“well, I guess blaming your blatant racism for playing an “exaggerated version of yourself” is a way of saying you’re just a little bit racist,” and a sixth added, “Could you at least patch things up with some ice cream first before pulling this—.”
Fans will recall that Healy impersonated Spice using a stereotypical accent insisting, “Yeah, that’s what Ice Spice looks like,” during an appearance on “The Adam Friedland Show” podcast in February. Although it happened at the beginning of the year, it was not until recently that the “Boy’s a Liar pt. 2” artist addressed it, sharing:
“When I listen to that little podcast or whatever, I’m so confused. Because I hear ‘chubby Chinese woman’ or some s— like that, and I’m like, ‘Huh? What does that mean?’ First of all, I’m thick. What do you mean Chinese? What? But then they apologized.”

He later highlighted his frustration at the lack of uplifting songs in the band’s set due to his anger. In the words of the BRIT Award winner:
“Unfortunately, you didn’t get a set of uplifting songs because I was so angry and that’s not fair to you, because you’re not representing your government because you’re young, and I’m sure a lot of you are gay and progressive and cool.”
After concluding his impassioned speech, Healy shared a kiss with the band’s bassist Ross MacDonald on stage to mark the end of the show.
