It\u2019s hard to watch your life unfold on the internet sometimes with talking heads on TikTok speculating \u2026 sometimes they\u2019re wrong, and sometimes they\u2019re right. All of that is a crazy thing to process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk\u201d is one of 11 tracks on Hilary\u2019s first album in a decade. On the song, she sings lyrics such as \u201cWe come from the same home, the same blood\u201d and wonders if Haylie doesn\u2019t speak to her anymore out of envy. \u201cIf it\u2019s \u2019cause you\u2019re jealous\/ God knows I would sell it all, then break you off the bigger half,\u201d she laments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHilary looked dismayed when discussing whether she hopes Haylie will hear the song. \u201cI don\u2019t think that that would help,\u201d she said. \u201cI think I have to just exist as a person on my own and do what I want to do. I hope that for everyone that is where I\u2019m sitting, you have to do what you want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s taken me a lot of time to get there and to live that way and to not care what the noise is gonna be around it and just be me,\u201d she added on the morning show. \u201cI don\u2019t know if she\u2019ll hear it, I don\u2019t know how she\u2019ll react to it. It is a really personal part of my life that doesn\u2019t get to stay personal, so I might as well say how it is for me as an experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAs a former child star, Hilary\u2019s personal life has been publicly scrutinized for most of her life.
