There's evidence of individuals with the 'Halsey' name or associated with the artist being involved in domestic violence incidents and allegations of sexual assault. One of these individuals, a Christopher Halsey, was charged with child abuse and sexual assault. Additionally, a man named Andrew Tillinghast had a restraining order entered against him due to his abusive behavior and was found to have engaged in domestic violence against his ex-spouse, with a history of such behavior.

Halsey's representatives have not been reported to have publicly stated anything homophobic; however, based on her association with Grand Theft Auto's (GTA) and having not denounced hateful comments or actions within her fanbase or the LGBTQ+ community, her association with anti-LGBTQ+ content exists. She is not guilty by association with a single event; on the other hand, her general stance in the community is unclear, and as a public figure, it can be reasoned to consider these factors. As GTA was reported to have received homophobic reactions from her fans and she did not speak out about them, so by choosing to be silent, she has not explicitly denounced the actions, hence making a 'medium confidence' in these findings.
