In an interview with TODAY’s Donna Farizan, the 24-year-old spoke candidly about the public scrutiny, bullying and harassment he’s faced since. Acknowledging her struggles with body dysmorphia, the songwriter shared that she’s had a hard time lately because “a lot of people were negative about my body when I was younger.”
The “Dangerous” singer explained, “I grew up happy. I thought I had a great body. But hearing endless comments about how I wasn’t really hurt me when I was younger.
According to the Mayo Clinic, body dysmorphia is a mental health disorder that causes a person to obsess over a perceived flaw or defect in their appearance. The “Louder Than Words” actress revealed that she has been limiting her food intake recently and is not eating enough.
Also, during this challenging time, she came across a hurtful comment on social media that read, “Someone needs to tell her to stop eating and put down her fork.” Beer expressed his thoughts on the matter, saying:
“I was getting to a place where I felt more confident, but it slipped, and it really hurts when people don’t know what you’re going through behind closed doors.”
Despite the challenges, she encourages younger fans to limit their screen time, believing “life is short.” In addition, he also shared his views on how society needs to move forward and stop being so quick to cancel and attract each other.

During an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, the “Todrick” star shared some of the most challenging moments of her life, including her struggles with the public exposure of her nude photos and videos and suicide.
As reported by The Blast, when she was just 15 years old, her nude video was leaked online and spread quickly. Although he tries to move on, the incident left a lasting impression on him, and he opened up on the podcast about how the memory still affects him.
The “Melodies” singer revealed that the intimate content was taken when she was only 13 or 14 years old. She explained that she had sent the video to a boy she liked who was traveling between Los Angeles and her hometown.
Furthermore, she also suspects that he used the app to record the Snapchat videos he sent her. “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” guest judges elaborate:
“I didn’t think the person I sent this to would think of doing something like that because this is someone I’ve known all my life. I was wrong.”
The “Good Mythical Morning” guest star revealed that by 2019, the burden of remembering how she was sexually abused at a young age and the leak led her to self-harm and suicidal thoughts.
He also tried to kill himself twice – the first time at the age of 16 – but thankfully it didn’t work out. He recounts the experience in his memoir “The Half of It.” Excerpts from the book, obtained by PEOPLE, recount how he stood on his balcony and considered jumping.
Beer shared, “I didn’t think I was going to jump. It’s more about knowing that I can— I have a way out if it gets too much. Still, I lingered there, chilling with the fact that I wasn’t so afraid of being in high places.”
