Andra Day says she was dealing with porn and sex addiction while preparing to portray jazz legend Billie Holiday.
The star landed an Oscar nomination for her performance as the iconic singer in The United States vs. Billie Holiday and went deep into character to play Billie, but there was one area of the Strange Fruit singer s life she tried to stay away from. I didn t want any element of sexualization, she tells InStyle. I had come out of something in my own life - dealing with porn addiction, sex addiction. I m being very, very candid with you because I m not the only one. But I knew I wanted all of that very much gone. I m definitely in a healthier place to enjoy that because I m outside of the addiction, if you will.

For the most part we come to Art Fair Philippines for its smorgasbord of paintings, sculpture, installations, and performance art, until four years ago when organizers formally launched AFP/Photo, a section in the fair dedicated to position photography as contemporary art. Since then, the program has been one of the most talked about segments of the fair and continues its steady momentum by introducing fresh names to its roster of photographers for this year’s line-up of exhibits.
