Matty Healy ‘Embarrassed’ Over Azealia Banks Outburst: ‘Let Myself Down’

Matty Healy said he was embarrassed about his behavior after he threatened rapper Azealia Banks with physical violence in a tweet earlier this week.

Matty Healy is reflecting on his “self-destructive” tendencies online after his internet feud with (and violent threat against) Azealia Banks earlier this week. “I just feel dreadful about how I acted violent – I think Azealia and all [obviously] flawed people all deep down have a heart and I hate that I have contributed to her mental fragility,” he added. His remarks were in defense of his wife Gabbriette, who got caught in an online scuffle after Banks blasted Charli XCX, his bandmate George Daniel’s partner.
