Phoebe Bridgers Calls Out Fans Who Bullied Her After Her Dad’s Death

But despite the occasional negativity online, she did share her gratitude for her fans.

“I have to say, most of the people I talk to light up my life and remind me what I love about my job,” Phoebe expressed. “but my two best friends are helping me with the boundary of I don’t have to sit here and be f–king grateful that that happened and that that’s a part of my job.”

“It doesn’t have to be, and it wasn’t five years ago,” she noted, “so I appreciate being able to look at two other people and be like, this is dehumanizing abuse, horrible sh-t.”

Phoebe’s comments come two months after she opened up about the boundaries she’s tried to set between herself and her fans.

“I want to normalize talking sh-t about fans,” she told Rolling Stone in January 2023. “There’s a way to be a fan without filming me without my permission behind the back of my head, chasing me down the street.”
