Ricky Martin recalls feeling “violated” when Barbara Walters asked if he was gay

Phillip Faraone/Getty Images Ricky Martin is now happily raising four children with his husband, Jwan Yosef. But back in 2000, when he was 29, the singer had not yet come out as gay publicly and was living with a lot of anxiety.

At the time, he opted not to answer. "When she dropped the question, I felt violated because I was just not ready to come out. I was very afraid," Ricky admits to People.

Billie Eilish releases “Lost Cause,” along with music video

Darkroom/Interscope Records Billie Eilish has released her new track “Lost Cause,” along with a self-directed music video. In the video, Billie sings a scathing send-off to a deadbeat ex, with the support of a group of girlfriends.

Tickets for Billie's Happier Than Ever arena tour are already sold out for the first leg in North America, Europe and the U.K. (Video contains uncensored profanity.) Copyright © 2021, ABC Audio.
