Halsey has revealed a disturbing incident they experienced with a “powerful” music manager who invaded their privacy.

“I was out there and I was with this executive, like this really powerful executive who works in the music industry in some capacity. It was very celebratory and there was a lot of industry talk,” Halsey told “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper. “I didn’t have any strange feeling about it at all. I never felt unsafe or anything.”

Halsey had taken a photo with the executive, who asked him if he could use her phone to send the picture to himself with the intention of sharing it with his niece. When Halsey left to use the bathroom, the executive had access to her unlocked phone, and when she returned, the executive scrolled through photos of her naked body.

“I saw him going through my nude photos on my phone,” they recalled. “I was just frozen… I didn’t even know what to do. I thought, ‘Did I imagine this?’ Was this an accident?’ I was like, ‘Did the phone scroll up?’ What the hell just happened?’”

Halsey added that she feared the manager had texted the nude photos to his cell phone. “Did he write it himself and then delete it? I don’t even know where these are now.”

The awkward moment also served as a reality check for Halsey. The singer, who recently released her fifth studio album The Great Impersonator, said the experience made her feel like “one of the greats” and left her feeling like “nothing” afterwards.

“And when that happened, in that moment I thought, ‘You’re nothing.’ You are nothing. You will always be nothing,” they said. “You’re still just that damn girl who’s being taken advantage of or like men are talking about you behind your back or you’re some kind of security.” I was like, ‘You’re nothing.’ It was so demoralizing.”
