Lourd opened up about the devastating losses back in October 2021 on theNew Daypodcast, saying, “It was brutal. It was really, really brutal, and I still hesitate and stutter because it’s really hard for me.”
“Because everything I say gets turned into some headline that I didn’t mean,” added theScream Queensalum. “There’s this one where I said something, and it was like three months after she died. I didn’t know what the f— I was talking about or who the f— I was or what was going on. And I said something like, ‘Well, now that they’re gone, I get to just be Billie.’ "
Lourd explained she “got out of the shadow of” her mom and grandma, but she “didn’t want to get out of this shadow.”
“It sounded like I like wanted them to die, and that is absolutely the opposite of what I wanted,” theAmerican Horror Storystar continued. “I would do anything to get them back, but it sounded like I was excited to have the ‘Billie Show.’ "
Now, Lourd said she wishes she could “do anything with them, really,” adding, “But I guess I just tried to separate myself from them while they were alive and now I feel like I am kind of trying to do the opposite. I try to connect myself to them because I miss them.”
