Normal People star Paul Mescal’s fiancee Phoebe Bridgers reveals she had an abortion in emotional Instagram post
PAUL Mescal’s girlfriend Phoebe Bridgers has revealed that she had an abortion last year.
Phoebe, 27, shared her experience with her 1.6million Instagram followers amid a report which claims the US Supreme Court could overturn the 1973 landmark ruling which legalised abortion across America.
The American singer wrote on her account: “I had an abortion in October of last year while I was on tour.
“I went to planned parenthood where they gave me the abortion pill. It was easy. Everyone deserves that kind of access.”
Phoebe, best known for her song Motion Sickness, then posted a link to a series of websites and added: “Here’s a big list of places you can donate to right now.”
Her revelation came after the four-time Grammy-nominated star attended the Met Gala in New York City on Monday with Normal People star Paul.

Irish actor Paul, 26, and Phoebe first sparked dating rumours in December 2020 before the pair went Instagram official in December 2021.
They put on a loved-up display on the red carpet at the star-studded fundraising benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art amid rumours that Phoebe referred to Paul as her “fiancé” during Coachella music festival.
During the Met Gala on Monday night, Politico published a bombshell report claiming that the US Supreme Court has sided in favor of a ruling that would overturn the 1973 decision.
The report contained a leaked document that is purported to be a draft opinion written by conservative Justice Alito on the side of the majority.
It stated: “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled.
“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
California-born Phoebe has previously spoken about the importance of abortion rights on her Instagram.
The American singer covered a Bo Burnham song after Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill banning abortions after six weeks.
Phoebe shared a snap on stage with her guitar in October 2021, captioned: “This one’s for Greg Abbott. My cover of That Funny Feeling by Bo Burnham is up on bandcamp today.
“All proceeds go to Texas Abortion Funds.”
