Billie Eilish addressed her sexuality and slammed the trolls who keep on commenting about her body in an interview for Variety, discussing her Grammy-nominated 'Barbie' track 'What Was I Made For?'
In the past years, Eilish declared her sexuality as "straight." However, after years of fending off speculation about her sexuality, she cleared that she was not as straight as a ruler as before.
Billie Eilish Comes Out as Queer
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 12: Billie Eilish attends the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 12, 2023 in Beverly Hills, California.
According to Variety, Eilish has confirmed that she could not understand girls well. She said she loves girls and was attracted to them for real.
"I have deep connections with women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life. I'm physically attracted to them. But I'm also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence," she said.
Eilish was usually untroubled, but she addressed her sexuality a little less casually when she brought the information to the public.
In 2021, she was accused of queerbaiting when she posted a video of her with other dancers with a caption of "I love women." In her interview with Elle, she said that many people have been paying too much attention to her life, especially her sexuality.
She said, "Like, oh yeah, that's everyone else's business, right? No. Where's that energy with men?"
Furthermore, she admitted she was discouraged when people commented about her body. She said that she may now be comfortable with the public about her sexuality, but the double standards for men and women in our culture still frustrate her.
She also said that she uses fashion to avoid comments about her body. She commented as she noticed that nobody comments on men's bodies.
She was upset with the fact that men who were muscular and who were not still got the same respect and praise. But she added that girls were cool with men's bodies because girls are nice and see people for who they are.
