Criticizing Lady Gaga’s 2010 Video Music Awards meat dress became a hot mistake for Billie Ellish. This is due to the fact the singer’s meat dress, made from cuts of red meat became Gaga’s most iconic looks according to aceshowbiz.
Appearing at the 2019 Variety's Hitmakers Brunch, Billie Eilish with her brother and collaborator Finneas O'Connell (FINNEAS) were asked to comment on the backlash she faced in the wake of a criticism that she shared regarding the meat dress.
During the interview with IANS, Eilish was asked to comment. She stated the criticism did not faze her in the slightest.
She went on to say, "I didn't even know about it. I don't even care. Why would I care? I don't know. People try to frame me for being shady and I'm not even, so I don't care. I'm just being honest, I'm not gonna lie!"
The backlash began after the singer mentioned her interest in watching the music award show, for the sole purpose of checking out the star’s dresses. When Finneas talked about Gaga’s meat dress, Eilish, who is a devout vegan, simply responded with, “yikes”.
That particular moment went viral on social media, causing a slew of negative backlash to ensue against the singer. Gaga fans took to their keyboards to bash Eilish over her comment and began a hashtag #BillieEilishisoverparty.
