AceShowbiz - Billie Eilish faces backlash over her comments in her latest interview. The "Happier Than Ever" hitmaker was slammed after saying men don't get body-shamed as much as women in her interview with Variety.
"Nobody ever says a thing about men's bodies," the singer opined. "If you're muscular, cool. If you're not, cool. If you're rail thin, cool. If you have a dad bod, cool. If you're pudgy, love it! Everybody's happy with it."
She added, "You know why? Because girls are nice. They don't give a f**k because we see people for who they are!"
Upon catching wind of the statement, fans quickly put Billie on blast with some labeling her "tone deaf." A critic said, "This generations [sic] obsession with not only being a victim, but making sure no one else is more of a victim then them is unprecedented. How tone deaf can someone be?"
Someone said, "celebrities are so out of touch from reality its actually hilarious." Another wrote, "Truth is both women AND men have experienced body dysmorphia at some point in their lives. Learning to be confident and getting past your body insecurities is a challenge for all genders. I guess sometimes it's hard for celebrities to see that since their looks are their brand."
Elsewhere in the interview, Billie talked about her body and how people saw the way she dressed. "I have big boobs. I've had big boobs since I was nine years old, and that's just the way I am. That's how I look. You wear something that's at all revealing, and everyone's like, 'Oh, but you didn't want people to sexualize you?' " she said, "You can suck my a**! I'm literally a being that is sexual sometimes. F**k you!"
The Grammy winner also shared that she didn't feel "feminine" or "desirable" and has to train her brain to believe she is a "pretty girl." She said, "I've never felt like a woman, to be honest with you. I've never felt desirable. I've never felt feminine. I have to convince myself that I'm, like, a pretty girl. I identify as 'she/her' and things like that, but I've never really felt like a girl."
