Mattey Healy‘s Controversy – Stirring Debate Since 2014
The October 2022 issue of NME praised Healy’s sensei-like mastery, saying that his Instagram stories have been awash with eyebrow-raising jokes, artful trolling of hardcore fans and explicit attempts to get canceled.
His online posts routinely spark heated debate. After he posted, “Isis is cutting little girls’ heads off and you want to challenge a non-religious, humanist perspective?” in August 2014, he was accυsed of Islamophobia and s*xism on Twitter.
When confronted by a 19-year-old Muslim lady who runs a Harry Styles-themed Twitter account, he responded by saying:
“I don’t understand the world at all,” and that he “r*sented being ‘educated’ on religion by” such an account.
When he was called out in March 2020 for tweeting:
“Stop telling people to support you we don’t want your EP and zine bundle now Laura we’re going to dἰe,” he deleted the remark and later explained, “I’m not sorry I’m just bored.”
