'Let women exist': Billie Eilish slams critics who called her a 'sellout' for being 'more feminine'

Published May 29, 2023 12:17 pm

Singer Billie Eilish called out critics who questioned her style evolution.

In her now-expired Instagram stories, the hit singer pointed out how she spent the early parts of her career "getting absolutely obliterated by fools" for being boyish, dressing how she did in the past, and "constantly being told I'd be hotter if I acted like a woman."

"And now, when I feel comfortable enough to wear anything remotely feminine or fitting, I changed and am a sellout.. and 'What happened to her?' 'OMG, it's not the same Billie,' 'She's just like the rest,' blah blah... you guys are true id*ots. LOL. I can be BOTH you f—king bozos. Let women exist!" she continued.

In a follow-up IG Story, the Oscar winner stressed that women can have different styles and be interested in various fashion trends without having to solely embrace one or the other.

"FUN FACT! Did you know that women are multifaceted? Shocking, right?" she wrote. "Believe it or not, women can be interested in multiple things."

"Also that femininity does not equal weakness?! OMG?! Insane, right? Who knew? And also totally unheard of and insane to want to express yourself differently at different times," she wrote in another slide.

Billie signed off with one final thought for the people who have been commenting on her posts: "Suck my absolute c—k and boobs, you women hating a** weirdos."

In her Calvin Klein campaign in 2019, Billie opened up about her choice to wear big, loose clothes, explaining it was a way to keep people from talking about her body. She began experimenting with her personal style in late 2022 by wearing fit clothes and different looks. (ANI)
