Billie Eilish<\/strong> is giving an insight into her experience with Tourette\u2019s syndrome.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Amy Poehler<\/strong> on her \u201cGood Hang\u201d podcast on Tuesday, May 5, the singer, 24, opened up about the often \u201cfrustrating\u201d condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do have Tourette\u2019s and I have vocal tics but, luckily for me and for everyone else, they\u2019re mostly just noises and I can keep them pretty quiet,\u201d Eilish explained. \u201cI go through phases of words becoming tics, but there\u2019s a thing called suppressing, if you ever heard of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cWhen I\u2019m in an interview, I\u2019m doing everything in my power to suppress all of my tics constantly. And as soon as I leave the room, I have to let them all out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBillie Eilish accused Variety of outing her over the weekend after she discussed her sexuality in a cover story for the magazine. \u201cThanks variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11 am instead of talking about anything else that matters,\u201d Eilish, 21, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, December [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The \u201cBad Guy\u201d singer described the condition as your mouth being forced to say all your \u201cintrusive thoughts\u201d out loud.<\/p>\n

Eilish went on to note that the lack of understanding surrounding tics and Tourette\u2019s in general can be difficult to deal with.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what\u2019s troubling about the way that people do not understand what Tourette\u2019s is, if I start having a tic attack, like a lot of tics in a row, people are like, \u2018Are you OK?\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cThis is very much normal. It\u2019s like, if you didn\u2019t see me tic today, you\u2019re not looking at my knees, which are tic-ing constantly under this table, and my elbows that are like \u2026 I\u2019m clenching my arms the entire time.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cSome people don\u2019t even have the privilege of getting to suppress them at all in any way. The \u2018not understanding\u2019 of that is really frustrating, as a person with Tourette\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eilish was diagnosed with the disorder as a child and told David Letterman<\/strong> during a 2022 appearance on his late-night talk show that she rarely discusses it, partly due to other people\u2019s reactions to her tics.<\/p>\n
