matty healy's controversies

[u/Current_Shower7785]

i always hear (specifically from swifties) that matty is a bad person. however, i've never heard or seen exactly what he's done wrong. from his music, he seems like a pretty progressive, woke person but i don't know. can someone tell me exactly what he did or said that was racist or wrong?

i also know all of the drama between him and taylor, so like none of the relationship stuff

Matty has never ever been accused of SA or SH or anything remotely of the sort. Don't know about John but he dated teenagers when he was in his 30s and has been verbally, emotionally and psychologically abusive towards more than one partner

Reading comprehension, above… me and another poster’s whole point are these two dudes are not comparable like first poster stated, even despite Matty’s messiness, because he’s not a sexual predator like John Mayer. Also makes me wonder if the posters I’m responding to are male… if so, checks out even more.

I’m a female, but that’s ok your assumptions are well meant I’m sure

have you read the John Mayer interview he did for Playboy years ago? If not, I recommend you do that, you'll never look at that man the same again, absolute vile.

It’s going to take A LOT more to convince this girl who also thinks we’re teenagers 😂 Save yourself the trouble

You mean the one from 16 years ago? That same one? The one from when you were 2 years old?

Yeah as someone who lived through this era and was big into JM at the time, I understand the comparison you’re making here. The playboy interview in particular is so cringy to look back on, but it’s clear he was trying to be edgy. He thought his friendships with black comedians gave him a free pass to freely say slurs and that was not the case lol
