Taylor Swift’s response to Matty Healy’s ‘disgսstiոg’ beհaviօr following Azealia Banks’ օutburst (EXCLUSIVE)
Taylor Swift was reportedly ‘disappointed’ by Matty Healy’s aggressive online clash with Azealia Banks, with sources close to the singer revealing she was ‘shocked’ by his threat of assault.
The 1975 frontman, 35, engaged in another heated exchange with the rapper on Tuesday, during which he bragged about wanting to ‘slap’ Azealia after she made public comments about him and his fiancée, Gabbriette Bechtel.
He tweeted, «Talk to me like that, I’m not just going to give you a side-eye at an awards show. I’ll slap you so hard I’ll set a Guinness World Record for how far a rat’s wig can fly.»
Matty Healy’s threat of violence towards Azealia Banks sparked backlash, with sources claiming it reaffirmed for Taylor Swift why their relationship was brief.
A source revealed, «There’s a reason Taylor didn’t get deeply involved with him after her split from Joe Alwyn.» Despite knowing Matty for years and working with him professionally, she no longer communicates with him.
The insider added, «No man should ever threaten harm to a woman or anyone.» Taylor is reportedly concerned for his well-being, hoping he gets the help he needs.
Another source said, «Taylor is disappointed by Matty’s behavior and shocked by his threat to Azealia, reinforcing that moving on from him was the right choice.»
The drama began after Azealia criticized Charli XCX, Matty’s bandmate’s fiancée.
Matty responded harshly, saying, «All the women you attack are culturally relevant, attractive, divisive, and nice. I think you’re jealous because you’re talented, but everything else about you is a failure. Just rap, bro.»
He then defended his fiancée, ranting, «If I see one more Twitter barista say anything about my Gabi, I’ll use my mental illness to its fullest and dox and mess you up. I’m done pretending to have different standards online. Well, a f***in slap is.’
Azealia insulted Matty and Gabriette, saying, «The b***h looks like Frankenstein. You both look like you share needles.»
Matty responded with a violent threat, but quickly apologized, realizing it was wrong to say he’d hit a woman. He expressed regret, saying he gets defensive when people attack his loved ones.
After Azealia threatened to sue, Matty apologized on Reddit, admitting he had «let himself down» and felt «gross» for his violent words, acknowledging his struggles with impulsive behavior and social media.
