In addition to her chart-topping music, Billie Eilish is also known for her ever-changing sense of style. However, in a series of recent Instagram posts, the Bad Guys hitmaker took to social media to call out "fools" who comment on her fashion choices and judge women based on how they present themselves. In an Instagram Story uploaded on May 28, Eilish recalled the early days of her career when she was "written off" for being "boyish," noting that more recently, when she felt "comfortable enough to wear anything slightly Feminine or appropriate," someone online accused her of "selling out."
"You guys are idiots," the singer continued. "Fun fact: Did you know that women are multifaceted? Shocking, right? Believe it or not, women can be interested in many things."
In a follow-up Instagram Story, the "No Time to Die" performer added: "Femininity does not equal weakness! OMG! Isn't it rational? Who knows... And wanting to do it differently at a different time The way to express yourself is also completely unheard and crazy.” In the final post, Eilish referred to her social media critics as “women who hate a** weirdos.” Fans of the Oscar winner were quick to express their support online and encouraged Eilish to "do what you want."
"If you want to wear casual, wear casual; tomorrow if you want to wear formal, wear formal! Are you a girl because people will talk anyway," one fan wrote on Twitter, while another One user simply commented: "We stand with Billie."
This isn't the first time Eilish has discussed the shortcomings of social media in recent months. Speaking on the Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast in March 2023, the singer revealed that she had previously deleted social media platforms from her phone and was struck by how "gullible" the internet can make you feel. Fear".
"I believe anything I read on the Internet," Eilish told host Conan O'Brien. "I know for a fact that it's stupid and I shouldn't do it because I have proof that it's not all true. Almost none of it is true. Like little things, little white lies, that everyone doesn't think about, but Everyone believes it."
