'I have male managers in my life,' Halsey said. 'I'm surrounded by men all the time.

'There were times when I was bleeding through my clothes or I was sick and it got to the point where I had to look at everyone around me and be like, "You know what? That is something that is a reality for me and you need to suck it up and deal."'

She added, 'I'm not going to let you make me ashamed of this. We're going to get through this.'
