Billie Eilish Reveals She Has Tourette Syndrome

- Billie Eilish told David Letterman she has the neurological condition known as Tourette Syndrome. “I haven’t talked about it at all,” she told Letterman during an interview for his Netflix show, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.” She says she experiences sudden twitches caused by the condition. “I got diagnosed when I was 11,” she said. The topic came up after Eilish suddenly jerked during their conversation.
This has literally been known since she first became famous. She spoke on how she suppresses her ticks in interviews and then ticks during off camera moments and whenever she can.
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING
Inside Edition needs to stop using internet explorer
Not everyone is obsessed with her to know everything. Some people just like her music and may not get all into her personal life.
She had it all this time
Never new she had Tourettes and I still don't think she does
Yeah for everyone's information, she did not just now reveal this, she has acknowledged it numerous times in the past
Yeah I remember the first time she said this
Yeah but that title wouldn't get as much views lol
Lies but ohhkK
@@centeguahan3760 not lies, people legit already knew about this
@@centeguahan3760 she has but okkkk
My son has Tourette Syndrome, with ticks much like Billie Eilish. He’s had them since he was six (he’s twenty-one now). He was bullied occasionally, but his teachers and school administrators made a point of explaining the syndrome to his classmates. The majority of his schoolmates were not only understanding and kind about it, they were very defensive if anyone made fun of him. Good on Billie for bringing Tourette to the fore.
Everything is normal.
I wish your family best of health
That school should be sued😠
@@eifleefjn8002 what
@@eifleefjn8002 why?
im glad shes talking about that and opening up..this can help others passing through the same thing!!i love billie
Lol
She talked about it before, the title made it sound like she never talked about it, I admire her so much. But I think this is the first time she was more candid about it
Ohhhh Candid fancy word
I honestly had never heard that she has Tourette’s.
She made it seem like that herself but I’ve seen/read several interviews where she has. She must’ve forgot.
I didn't kno. Im not a fanboy tho
No... she said.. she never talked about it before!. Her own words!! So Keep on keeping your savior safe from her own words!
She is bringing attention to the discriminations against Ticks, which is NEEDED. Thank You for this, she is brave that's for sure!
I don't see how that is being brave 😕
So brave LMAO
This isn't brave, nothing against Billie of course.
Lmao yeah because people with this syndrome has never done this before
This kid
I think Billie has revealed in the past that she has Tourette’s and deals with having ticks. But I’m glad that she’s bringing attention to this disease. Hope she is happy otherwise because health is very precious ❤️
Thats not really Tourette's... Just weird habits. Did the same thing when i was a kid and just learned to stop and out grew it.
tourette's isn't a disease lolol
@@vulcov7430 they aren’t weird habits.. idk about you but she actually has Tourette’s syndrome, it’s not something you can just control and get rid of, I think she would’ve already done that if she could.
@@isabellaantopia Yeah Tourette's syndrome is not controllable but she doesnt have Tourette's..... notice how all people with Tourette's have a certain set of phonic tic's and motor tic's? but she does just random stuff and never has the same tic lol she is just full of it....
that's not Tourette syndrome. People who have it have no control at all. She is faking this for publicity.
She’s so brave talking about this. You don’t need noticeable symptoms to be diagnosed with something. I’m diagnosed with a learning disability because I have symptoms of loads, and yet people still think I’m lying when being diagnosed with a learning disability just means there’s way too many. I really feel grateful for her talking about this as you don’t need noticeable symptoms to have these things. A note to those screw if people thing you’re lying or not only you, some family and the doctors know you aren’t ☺️☺️☺️
Wow I said she was brave too. But as a joke.
😳😳😳😳😶
I am glad that she brings positive awareness to this syndrome. I think it help people be understanding and empathy when they see others with ticks.
She is a young woman that said once 'give an ugly guy a chance he think he runs the world'
And i would replay to her: give a depressed girl a mic and aoutotune and she think she is a singer
(Sorry for bad english)

ME TOO, I USED TO LAUGH, BUT THE VICTIMS REALLY HATE THEIR CONDITION, AND ITS SAD THEY CANT CONTROL IT AND PEOPLE MAKE FUN OF THEM.
I have Tourette Syndrome as well and was diagnosed at 6 years old. It's incredibly empowering to see people like Billie bring awareness to this neurological condition, and how she didn't let it dictate her life. She's a true success story and given the massive stigma and utterly harmful representations of this disorder in entertainment and on social media in the past, it's time that _true_ awareness is spread about Tourrette and its impact on the lives of those living with it.
No, not really.
It IS TOURETTE! No S!
It's Not I had flus or colds or I have a headaches.
The S comes from the word Syndrome & people people mispronounce the name Tourette!
Same I have it too and I think people should talk about this more and I am glad she did.
Why not space
Give an ugly guy a chance, he thinks he rules the world, give a depressed emo girl autotune, she thinks she can sing
Y’all people, this ain’t a “stunning revelation”
She’s been open about for like years now…
Thats really amazing of you bellie,its good to open up to your funs lots of love from🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
My partner has tourette syndrome, and as far as the ticks and random mimicks, it's honestly something people should learn as these people that have it can't control it, to all those that have much love toward y'all

she’s been open about her tics and tourette’s for years. she talked about it on the ellen show in i believe 2019 and then in her documentary last year as well
She’s a clown lmfao
Yeah
Yea that’s why I don’t get why she said she’s never talked about it before. I’ve seen/read several interviews where she has. She must’ve forgot.
Yes, I felt that I knew this already.
@@Coco_Loco95 she probably means she’s never been so candid about it before
Ive had touretts sydrome sence 2015, and its really cool how a figure in society brings awareness to this. I have very similar facial tics to her and when I hear how other people react to them, its very similar to the people and how they react.
Its nice to see her talking about this again! ♡
As someone with Mild Tourette's Syndrome with tics like hers I'm really glad she's brought awareness to it cause I remember being bullied in school for it and being embarrassed for having it and hopefully she can help change the stigma of it 💙
Same I am glad she talked about it not many people do.
Lies again? Text Sms El Tornado
It's OCD yeah. They obviously just diagnose people with stuff that doesn't fit half of the time.
@@droo9466 How tf does that sound like OCD to you...
@@toastarkat the thing she has to flex her muscle and on both sides.. She has to open and stretch her mouth several times. It's repetitive behaviors that she can avoid, but she thinks about doin it so she does it or she can't get stress relief. Tourrettes is someone having spasms. Not someone who need to flex their muscles and open their mouth wide to stretch
Oh wow. I never knew this about her. Glad she’s opening up and spreading awareness to those who have this diagnosis as well❤️❤️
I hate that everyone is saying; “this isn’t new, she’s opened up about it before” but clearly not everybody knows that she did.
I- how did people not know this? She has been talking about it for years! This just proves people only listen to what they want to, not what actually matters.
We only want to listen to her music you can't force us and if we don't want to listen to what actually matters then we won't you can't FORCE US SO SHUT UP.
Why is this categorized as a "stunning revelation" 💀
She has talked about it for years. Any fan of hers knows she has tics. I think it’s great she is leading the way for other people with the condition to feel more accepted.
I’m so happy I can relate to somebody so big, also am very happy she can bring awareness because my awkward ass is tired of explaining my tics! Especially at work when I’m just trying to make a living and not be stared or laughed at.
Thank you for shining a light! My little one has ticks and some days it exhausts him.
Good girl for sharing this. Even famous people have problems and her talking about it. Makes it easier for normal people to relate 😊🙏👏
I never knew she had tic’s it’s sad for anyone who has it it also makes me really mad how people fake things like tic’s just to be popular and then no one believes the people who actually have it
When talking about tourette's syndrome you spell it "tics"
Ty
Why would anyone lie? I have the tics since I was a child. It sucks and embarrassing
@@Trd2020 A lot of people do lie about these things, as ridiculous as it sounds. It’s become especially common among teens and young adults over tik tok. They’re either looking for ways to earn sympathy or because they they just think it’s “quirky”, so disrespectful considering the people who have to suffer through certain conditions on the daily.
@@Trd2020 did you have dyslexia to?
In middle school, my friend had Tourette’s and would swear uncontrollably and make tic noises loudly. I understood him, but this lunch lady was super rude to him and confronted him and said to “stop making those funny noises”. He was on the verge of tears, but he held himself back, while we defended him and told that lady his situation.

People need to be educated on how to interact with people with disorders…
Ikr.
And suddenly, there began a rise in self diagnosed Tourette Syndrome amongst young females aged between 9-17
like thats her fault???
That isn’t her fault.
@@kittaylor5515 Never said it was…
I relate to Billie A LOT in this, I too, have mild Tourette syndrome. I have multiple tics that you wouldn’t really be able to notice if you weren’t thinking about them. Sometimes they’re worse and more frequent, and sometimes they rarely happen. Just depends what situation I’m in. I was also diagnosed at a very young age and it took me a long time to accept it. But now I embrace it and see Tourette’s as a quality that makes me unique.
She spoke about that a couple of years ago.
That's one of the reasons why I like her because she doesn't let anything especially Tourettes stop her from straight up being AWESOME!
The other is her magnificent character and great talents.
KEEP DOING IT!!! YOU'RE INSPIRING SO MANY!
She’s still a hypocrite

@@swallowedinthesea11 What?
@JJbands I like killua
I have tourette syndrome and i really don't understand why people online want to have it so bad, im guessing for attention but a lot of people struggle because of it and its really not something to just self diagnose yourself with.
She’s talked about it before. I love how open and honest she’s been about it. Also happy she brings awareness and keeps the names of those who opened up about it to herself.
ButCANuMEETme H A L F W A A Y
right at the border ya (thats where no sense was made) by uWuU
I already knew it isn’t the first time she talked about it.
I did the mouth thing and the eye thing for years! I'd get in so much trouble for it but mine was (and still is at times) from my ocd. It's so weird how different disorders can cross over.
Sorry to ask ,did ocd can make you have a tourette? I didn't know about this before..
@lollypooh3383 I don’t think OCD gives TOURETTE because I have OCD and I don’t have TOURETTE from it.
@@lollypooh3383you can have tics and it NOT be Tourette’s.. sometimes it’s anxiety tics, or OCD tics.. it really just depends on the person
💜💜💜 It’s been known she has this but good she explains it to bring awareness to it
I love how she was bold enough to say it very inspiring!
She has been open about her tourettes for years. She's had ticks in other interviews too
Kudos to her for bringing awareness to a serious issue. Mental health is so overlooked these days
Lol no it's not. If anything it's blown up to the point people make it their whole identity.
@@nineteen96 Fax
That’s not mental health or something.
It’s not depression. It’s something else u can’t control but can be suppressed.
@@nineteen96 Besides the insane liberals lol
Bro mental health? Lmao
I'm glad she's open about this ❤
Everyone has their own battles and its how you get through them and still live a life that defines you
She’s done an incredible job within her teenage years and she continues to strive forward. So proud of you Billie:))
I'm autistic and I stim a lot. What I found most surprising is that I never realized how much I needed to stim until I became more open about my diagnosis.
Stimming can be similar to tics, so I understand how much of a mental challenge it is to mask that.
The fact that Billie has been masking her tics whenever she's in the public eye or performing at a concert must have been a hard mental struggle. So glad she's opening up about while she's still young. And so releieved to see how comfortable she is opening up about it.
Welcome to the neurodivergent family Billie!
wow, i didn't even know she had tourrettes. i'm glad she was able to open up about it.💕
I've known that for 3 years this isn't the first time she's said this...
You can’t get “highly offended” if someone laughs or asks what your looking at if people don’t know you have these ticks. It’d be different if people KNEW and still laughed.
as someone with Tourette's, it still hurts when people laugh at you condition
You can get offended, but you can’t be mad at them bc they didn’t know.
@@curiouscreature3305 the point is, they don’t even know you have this medical condition.
You should never laugh at people. You never know what's really going on.
I definitely had a mild form of tourettes when I was young about 7 years old. There were several ticks I remember doing pretty much all the time. I was never diagnosed and thankfully outgrew it. I had a pretty traumatic childhood and I have a strong feeling that had something to do with the onset of it.
Can u pls explain more .. I felt my autistic daughter facing it .. what can I do .. help me
It was obvious but I’m glad she’s comfortable enough to talk about it 👏🏻
Keep searching boys, we’ve got to find who tf asked.
We’ve known about it for a couple years. But nice to see she is openly talking about it guessed .
also help to sell albums....its called marketing
She said it. It is very exhausting indeed. I relate 100%. School was hell. Friends didn't help. But strangers say messed up stuff and make ime feel worse about it sometimes. I try most of my time to keep it unnoticed but it is absolutely exhausting. I was diagnosed in 5th grade and my tick was/is audible was/is a sound like "hmm" but said sharp and suddenly and repeatedly. Everyone always mocked my tick's in class. it sucked.
She said this like 4 years ago on a genius interview
I’m glad she’s bringing awareness to this.
I have a good friend with tourettes and his mom loves Billie because to her billie is someone that my friend can look up to. I have seen what my friend has gone through and I know it's nice to have a celebrity who he can look at and be inspired by.
Lots of people here saying she's "faking" it, like, no, you can't just assume someone is faking something like this just because their famous.
It’s ok. She's a sweet young lady. I Won't judge. It could happen to anyone of us. Lovs for Bellie ❤️
Why would you even judge someone based on something that they can not control.
@@tehcupcakes6868 💯 you took the words out of my mouth 🤣
What do you mean “it’s ok”?? 😂😂😂
Ya, she's so sweet. Putting down "ugly" men
@@tehcupcakes6868 They only won’t judge because this person is on a pedestal in their life. People need to stop the celebrity worship. It’s annoying.
looks kinda fake and its porbably some light level of it
this makes me feel a lot better. i don’t have ticks (that i know of) but i occasionally get almost like these “ticks”. ans their the same with her, like i would flex my arm, like squint with my eyes like she did, and like stretch my mouth like she did.
David!!!! ❤️ I'm proud of Billy for opening up about her condition.👍🏾
i have tourettes aswell and im glad she brought some awareness to it as its a really misunderstood disorder sometimes :)
No secret , but I love how she’s bringing awareness to this as I also have it since I was 5 💙
Tourttes
Nine 9 Hi5
As someone who has Tourette’s, this completely surprises me. I’m very inspired by her confidence in it
Don’t you think they look fake ?
@@nomnomnommy2955 yessir. I have tics and she almost very obviously is faking. Sure I have mild tourrettes but it's not as easy to supress them during long periods of time like she claims for interviews.
@@mr.mangaming ah yes bcuz everyones expericence has to be like yours for it to be real lol
@@mr.mangaming that’s not entirely true. I’ve been able to suppress for a long time. Sure, I’ll get a tiny bit of a tic out but it’s not really noticeable. I would consider my Tourette’s to be moderate, and sometimes even severe, and some people still get surprised when I say I have Tourette’s. *Now that being said*, someone could still fake tics and have it seem real. We’d never know unless a doctor says it or they go to something like an event or fun camp or something that would require someone to be treated for or have a diagnosis of Tourette’s (like camp twitch and shout).
Also, keep in mind that full blown Tourette Syndrome is not just tics. It comes with a ton of impulsivity and erratic behavior. You can have barely any tics or have just a couple and still be diagnosed if you fit the rest.
@@anthonyperez2467 I didnt say it all had to be like mine, or that she was 100% faking. Just that it's hard to believe somebody could supress them for that long.
I wouldn't really call this a "reveal" since she literally spoke about it YEARS ago 🤦🏾♀️
why so sudden, don't see her tick in concert or met gala?
“I’m not like other girls, I know that billie eilish has tics”
No one believed her, but they found out the hard way from TH-cam reply’s and Reddit comments.

This isn't a new thing.... But also Love Billie!
Her tics set off some of mine lol (head turning, opening mouth, rapid blinking) it’s like when someone yawns and then you yawn as well. I’m not sure the exact cause for my tics (having tics does not mean you have TS) They only started a month or so ago, or that’s when the more obvious ones like sudden head turning became noticeable to me anyway, and have yet to go see a doctor about it. Planning to soon though.
I can so relate. I've had tics just like this for 40 years.
I adore her and am so proud of her courage to speak on this. It helps break the stigma
It’s not a reveal she has said this for years now lol but I’m glad everyone else knows now 👏🏽💯
This has been known for years, but it's still good that this is bringing attention to Tourette's and people with tics in general.
this isn’t knew, but i’m so glad she’s bringing awareness about it, and helping people who have ticks to be cope and for people who don’t know about this learn to not offend people with it.
she’s so talented!!😫😫

And how does this affect our lives?
as someone who has been on tic watch and is suspecting that have mild Tourettes (I'm doing lots of head twitching and idk why yet) it brings me happiness to see someone who I admire that has Tourettes
I have ticks as well and it’s honestly embarrassing when you have the urge to tick in public and can’t stop yourself.
As someone with Tourette’s I’m glad that she speaking about this even Though it’s been known that she’s had it for about over four years now

I used to ALWAYS get those ticks/convulsions/seizures. I had first gotten them Right after I awoke from a coma. I suffered a brain aneurysm when I was 10! But I am taking pills and I don’t get those ticks that @billieeilish talked about here.

Hey @Billie you aren’t alone though, I have sort of the same things happen to me. While I have never been diagnosed with Tourette’s, I do have anxiety and I think it caused me to have a lot more ticks recently. I’ve been winking a lot, laughing at the most, Inappropriate times, and my legs and arms do a thing where they randomly flex too. I try to play my piano though and grow some plants because it helps me ease my anxiety a bit. Anyways, I was prescribed this medication Keppra that I had to be in a psyche unit while they monitored it coming out of my system. I think that medication made all that anxiety 10 times worse and the tics like pretty bad. Music is therapeutic though, I jam out with you and your brother a lot on my piano and my karaoke microphone🫶🏼😎
I also have tourette syndrome and it started when I was 18. From unnoticeable, minute to a gradual increase over the years. I can still hold a clean conversation w/o it showing but whenever I'm alone, it would be ticking frequently.
No you have nerve damage from drug use.
You can't get offended if not only someone doesn't know you have the disorder but doesn't understand it. That's a bit unfair.
Right!!! I love her music but sometimes she comes off selfish. Now I personally wouldn't laugh when I seen ppl have tics but how would anyone know that doesn't know you personally know you have the disorder? Now if you told the individuals and they still mocked or laugh then I can understand you being offended. This world smh
Try to be nicer, less judgmental.
@Cassie Shakespeare It's observation, and she is being judgemental. But I guess it's acceptable for her because she's famous and you like her music right?
@@oscarkoop2548 You guessed wrong. I don't even know her music.
I hate when ppl notice it. But hopefully since she’s bringing awareness to it ppl won’t be as shocked
Ppl bringing awareness of tourettes on tiktok has become big! I've learned a bit from it. Like the fact that tics can be painful. It's a well known disease but not many know what its like. Glad she's opening up about it 👍

Sounds like she wants more followers on ticktok
I've had it since age 7, diagnosed twice. Now at 48 it causes few tics, just my head twitching a bit, or turning my head to my shoulder. But it also causes (mimics) other disorders. I have horrible OCD, Impulsive behavior, rage attacks and so on. Such a strange disease.
First she blew her way to get famous, now she acting like she got tourettes
Billie Eilish is so beautiful😍❤
We stan you Billie Eilish
I also have tourette syndrome and I used to get bullied for it but I'm proud of having tourette's now
She says if she has a tic while having a conversation with someone they'll ask "what's wrong?" But then she says ticking is something you'll never notice when having a conversation with me... so why would someone ask whats wrong? The contradiction is just so obvious 😒
Obvious how? She was just saying that she has gotten good at making her tics.
