‘You fools’: Star hits back at haters

Billie Eilish has hit back at online trolls who have criticised her style and branded her a “sellout”.

Singer Billie Eilish has responded to claims she has sold-out because her style is more glamorous and feminine these days.

The 21-year-old took to Instagram after receiving hate from fans that were claiming she had changed too much because she’d recently swapped out baggy pants for tighter dresses.

“I spent the first five years of my career getting absolutely obliterated by you fools for being boyish and dressing like how I did and constantly being told I’d be hotter if I acted like a woman,” she wrote

“Now when I feel comfortable enough to wear anything remotely feminine or fitting, I changed, and I am a ‘sell-out’ and ‘what happened to her.’ You guys are true idiots. Let women exist,” she continued.

When the singer first became famous, her signature style was oversized unisex clothing paired with her neon green hair – it was like Adam Sandler meets Avril.

These days she mixes up her style way more and has swapped out the neon green hair for either a Pamela Anderson blonde or a jet black colour.

She’s also likely to be spotted in anything from skin-tight dresses to oversized clothing, and she is having a real fashion moment.

Eilish has been in the spotlight since age 14 and grown up in the public eye and, like most people, she doesn’t dress the same way she dressed in Year 8. 

In an ad for Calvin Kelin in 2021 the young singer explained why she opted to exclusively wear baggy clothes at the beginning of her very big career.

“Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath. Nobody can be like, ‘she’s slim-thick,’ ‘she’s not slim-thick,’ ‘she’s got a flat ass,’ ‘she’s got a fat ass.’ No one can say any of that because they don’t know,” she said.

Eilish has also been open about struggling with an easting disorder in a previous interview with Vanity Fair

“Five years ago, I wasn’t really eating. I was, like, starving myself,” she said. “I remember taking a pill that told me that it would make me lose weight, and it only made me pee the bed.” 

Eilish has also revealed that her team often worries about her when there’s ever any excessive scrutiny around her body. 

In 2020 when photos of her went viral in a tank top she told Vanity Fair, “I think that the people around me were more worried about it than I was, because the reason I used to cut myself was because of my body. To be quite honest with you, I only started wearing baggy clothes because of my body.”
