However, his February 2023 interview on \u201cThe Adam Friedland Show,\u201d which has since been removed from Apple and Spotify, proved to be one of his more controversial moments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The U.K. native made racist remarks about rapper\u00a0Ice Spice<\/b>, calling her a \u201cchubby Chinese lady,\u201d among other inappropriate and degrading comments. Later, during the same episode, Matty and host\u00a0Adam Friedland<\/b>\u00a0discussed a situation wherein Adam and a group of friends left Matty\u2019s apartment after a party. However, one person realized she forgot her water bottle, and she quickly went back to the apartment to retrieve it, only to walk in on Matty watching the aforementioned porn website, Ghetto Gaggers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ghetto Gaggers is a known racist and misogynistic pornography website featuring content that humiliates and sexually degrades women of color, specifically Black women.\u00a0\u201cExtreme hardcore face f\u2014king, ebony hoodrats, ghetto double penetration, yellow discipline and interracial throat banging of the Ghetto Gaggers,\u201d the official description of Ghetto Gaggers reads, per BuzzFeed<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cShe went back in and Matty, like, on his phone and then on his 77-inch OLEDs just got Ghetto Gaggers blaring,\u201d Adam said during the podcast. \u201cThirty seconds after the hang, just hardcore pornography.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Matty\u00a0then recalled the moment when their friend named Olive walked in on him watching the porn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re not exaggerating. It was 30 seconds, like, you guys were still waiting outside,\u201d he recalled. \u201cShe came back in; I was already flustered. I was dressed as \u2018guy who is jacking off,\u2019 so I had, like, an untucked shirt, and I think it literally was Ghetto Gaggers on the TV \u2014 somebody just getting, like, brutalized. \u2026 And it wasn\u2019t some cool-scene New York art girl [who walked in on me]. It was little Olive, who came in, like, \u2018I\u2019m so sorry, I\u2019m just getting my water!\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Later in the conversation, Matty revealed that he chose to AirPlay the porn from his phone to his TV, laughing at the memory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou texted me immediately being like, \u2018I just need the info on this story, like, how psychopathic do you have to be to AirPlay porn to your TV?’\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Though Matty did not publicly address his February 2023 podcast comments, he addressed a crowd while on stage in April 2023, apologizing to Ice Spice, per Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe truth is, I see a sign that says like, \u2018Matty, I hope you\u2019re OK.\u2019 I feel a bit bad, to be honest, because I feel like I\u2019ve been a bit irresponsible,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s very well for me to say, \u2018I don\u2019t understand how famous I am. I don\u2019t like being famous.\u2019 But reality is reality. And I think that I\u2019ve said some things or kind of, I make a joke out of everything. That\u2019s my thing. And I can take it too far sometimes in front of too many people. And I feel a bit embarrassed. So that\u2019s the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n In a May 2023 Reddit<\/a> thread, several online users expressed their concern over Matty\u2019s connection to Taylor, with some individuals slamming the \u201cLavender Haze\u201d artist for associating herself with him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis whole thing is making me lose respect for Taylor,\u201d one person commented.<\/span><\/p>\n A rep for Matty did not immediately respond to\u00a0Life & Style<\/i>\u2018s request for comment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When asked if his comments on the podcast were a way to bait his fans \u201con purpose,\u201d Matty responded, \u201cA little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut it doesn\u2019t actually matter,\u201d he\u00a0said. \u201cNobody is sitting there at night slumped at their computer, and their boyfriend comes over and goes, \u2018What\u2019s wrong, darling?\u2019 and they go, \u2018It\u2019s just this thing with Matty Healy.\u2019 That doesn\u2019t happen.\u00a0If it does, you\u2019re either deluded or you are, sorry, a liar.\u201d<\/p>\n Matty continued,\u00a0\u201cYou\u2019re either lying that you are hurt, or you\u2019re a bit mental for being hurt. It\u2019s just people going, \u2018Oh, there\u2019s a bad thing over there, let me get as close to it as possible so you can see how good I am.\u2019 And I kind of want them to do that, because they\u2019re demonstrating something so base level.\u201d<\/p>\n Weeks after Taylor\u2019s split from longtime boyfriend\u00a0Joe Alwyn<\/b><\/a>, the \u201cLove Story\u201d artist was spotted spending time<\/a> with Matty on multiple occasions in May 2023, including an NYC outing showing the musicians holding hands. Moreover, the \u201cRobbers\u201d singer has attended six of Taylor\u2019s concerts during her \u201cEras Tour.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Taylor and Matty had a \u201cbrief\u201d relationship \u201cyears ago,\u201d a source told\u00a0Us Weekly<\/i><\/a>, noting they\u2019re \u201chaving a good time reconnecting again.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In June 2023, Life & Style<\/em> confirmed that Taylor and Matty called it quits<\/a> after just one month of dating.<\/p>\n Previously, Matty spoke with\u00a0The Guardian<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>about his former fling with the Grammy Award winner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI feel like I\u2019m not very good at relationships,\u201d he told the outlet in 2016.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When answering the question of whether he was afraid of losing himself, Matty replied, \u201cAbsolutely. And the reason I mention that is because if I had [properly] gone out with Taylor Swift, the first thing I would\u2019ve [thought was] \u2018F\u2014king hell I am NOT being Taylor Swift\u2019s boyfriend.\u2019 You know, F\u2014k that. \u2026 That\u2019s also a man thing, a demasculinizing, emasculating thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Upon noticing a fan\u2019s sign that read, \u201cYou are loved,\u201d Matty said, \u201cThat was very, very kind of you. I\u2019m sure that\u2019s alluding to \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Without mentioning Taylor by name, the 1975 front man noted, \u201cAs you\u2019re aware, I\u2019m not very online at the moment, and I\u2019m sure people have just been calling me a c\u2013t relentlessly. I\u2019ve not been online, but what I have been with is my boys. And honestly, as much as I appreciate that \u2014 it\u2019s so beautiful, and I thank you \u2014 but I don\u2019t need it because I\u2019ve got them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhy Is Matty Healy Canceled?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
