Billie Eilish responds to body-shamers who called her ‘fat’

Billie Eilish has a great comeback for the villains who are ashamed.

Armed with a good dose of body positivity and a good dose of self-confidence, the singer of “Bad Guy” crushes the midges of the Internet guilty of having cruelly criticized her curvaceous frame recently unveiled.

Returning the fire to the keyboard body-shamers – who in October shamelessly chose the 18-year-old after skipping her signature baggy streetwear in favor of a tight tank top while shopping in Los Angeles – Eilish says smooth unpleasant reactions to her voluptuousness did not come as an offense because she is comfortable with her appearance.

“There’s this picture of me, like, running from my car to my brother’s front door – one day in 110 degrees, in a tank top,” the “Don’t Smile at Me” singer explained to Vanity Fair in the fourth edition of her “time capsule” video interview series.

“And everyone’s like, ‘Damn, Billie got fat!'” She said, mocking her enemies. “And I’m like, ‘No, this is what I look like! You’ve never seen it before! “”

Pulling away the shadows of her digital detractors with apathetic “whatever” Eilish – who posted a TikTok from YouTuber Chizi Duru, encouraging Instagram followers to “start normalizing real bodies,” the same week as the tank top photo was posted – went on to say that she wants her body image post to help fans feel ‘comfortable’ in their own skin.

“I love having kids with me and telling myself that I make them feel comfortable in their bodies,” she says. “If I can do something, I want to do it.”

An unfazed soldier in the war on bodily shame, a usually concealed Eilish stripped down to her bra during a performance at the American Airlines Arena in Miami in March, protesting against impossible beauty standards imposed on women in the music industry – and to the online body the shame that goes with it.

Eilish, alongside her female colleagues Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, is nominated for multiple Grammys in 2021, with nods for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.
