Adult star Maitland Ward claimed Billie Eilish's bad porn experience is her parents' fault

The 22-year-old singer has never made her thoughts on the porn industry a secret

An adult actress has criticised the parents of Billie Eilish after the singer revealed that porn had 'destroyed her brain' as a teenager.

The 22-year-old 'Bad Guy' singer has never been shy about sharing her thoughts and opinions on sex, even going as far as to call out her Instagram followers after they reacted negatively to a drawing of boobs she posted on her stories.

Boobs-gate isn't the only time Eilish has faced backlash for her comments on sex and human bodies, with her comments regarding the porn industry back in 2021 dividing people online.

The debate started when the 'What Was I Made For?' songstress appeared on The Howard Stern Show and revealed that she felt that porn had 'destroyed her brain' from a young age.

"As a woman, I think porn is a disgrace. I used to watch a lot of porn, to be honest," she told Stern, before revealing that she had begun to watch x-rated content at 'like 11'.

She continued: "I think it really destroyed my brain and I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn.

"I thought that’s how you learned how to have sex. I was watching abusive porn, to be honest, when I was like 14."

Eilish went on to add that watching so much 'violent' and 'abusive' porn had given her nightmares and a very unrealistic view of sex.

The singer's comments sparked plenty of debate online about safeguarding children online and the ease of which such hardcore pornography can be accessed.

However, her words also caused outrage amongst several adult stars, with many claiming Eilish's comments were damaging and unrepresentative of the industry.

One of the stars to speak out against the singer's comments was Maitland Ward, a former actress turned adult performer.

In an interview with TMZ, the Boy Meets World star said that Eilish should be blaming her parents and not porn for her experiences as a teenager.

"Why was she watching violent porn aged 11, who was watching over her," she said.

Ward continued: "She should blame her parents... a child should not be watching porn, ever, at that age.

"Porn is not something that’s supposed to be sex education for people, it’s entertainment for adults, that’s what we do... it’s crazy, and I think she’s too young to make that kind of assessment about porn."

Meanwhile, academics have since weighed in on the debate, with Clare McGlynn - a professor of law at Durham University - telling The Guardian that Eilish's comments should lead parents to have a 'better conversation' with their children about the accessibility of pornography.

"I think her comments will help us to have a more open conversation, because certainly young people will be able to relate to her," she added.

LADBible has approached Eilish's representatives for comment.
