A controversial video of pop star Matty Healy describing a time he masturbated to “brutal porn” has Taylor Swift fans begging her to end their new romance.
The 1975 frontman has come under fire for his comments about a time he masturbated to porn of “brutalised” black women during an appearance on The Adam Friedland Show podcast in February.
Friedland and his co-host Nick Mullen raised an incident in which Friedland and a woman caught Healy masturbating to what they described as “hardcore pornography”.
The pair walked in on the 34-year-old after they returned to his house to “collect a water bottle” shortly after leaving a party Healy was hosting.
Friedland said Healy was watching Ghetto Gaggers, a porn site known for videos featuring the humiliation and brutalisation of mostly black women.
“(The female friend) went back in and saw Matty, like, on his phone and then on his 77-inch OLEDs has just got Ghetto Gaggers blaring,” he said.
“Thirty seconds after the hang, just hardcore pornography.”
Healy said: “I was, like, dressed as ‘guy who is jacking off’, so I had, like, an untucked shirt. As you said, I think it was like Ghetto Gaggers was on the TV. It’s just somebody just getting, like, brutalised.”
A podcast clip has been recirculating online, with many of Taylor Swift’s fans calling for the US star to dump her new beau.
“If a bunch of strangers on the internet know about Matty Healy watching racist torture porn, then just how would Taylor not know,” one Twitter user said.
“She’s known that man for 10 years and doesn’t know how problematic and horrible he is? Yeah, I’m not buying that at all.”
Another fan said: “This whole thing is making me lose respect for Taylor.”
In the same podcast episode, Healy was accused of making racist comments about up-and-coming rapper Ice Spice.
Claiming he tried to message the US star on Instagram, Healy, along with Friedland and Mullen, then appeared to confuse her heritage by referring to her as Inuit and Chinese, imitating and mocking the accents of each.
The episode was later pulled from both Spotify and Apple Music because of its offensive content.
Healy then apologised for comments about Ice Spice during a 1975 concert in New Zealand.
Reports said he told the audience that he “makes a joke out of everything” and “can take it too far sometimes in front of too many people”.
