Billie Eilish has landed in hot waters for her recent claims amid the success of her recently released concert movie, Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D).
The 24-year-old musician recently spoke about her stance on eating meat and slammed people who consume meat, but the comments sparked quite a backlash.
“Y’all not gonna like me for this one … Eating meat is inherently wrong. Two things cannot coincide. ‘I love animals, I love all animals so much,’ and ‘I eat meat,’” the Grammy winner said.
Social media flooded with comments, calling Eilish a “hypocrite” and bashing her double standards for being judgmental.
“Love her but she’s kinda of a hypocrite also I feel like this is a very privileged take lol,” one social media sleuth wrote on X.
Another added, “This is a very privileged position to have. The body functions better when we eat meat. If we cut it out, we’d need to take many supplements & that’s not feasible for most. I’m sure if we didn’t generally need to eat it for better health then we wouldn’t.”
A third chimed in to say, “so privileged and judgmental lol” and "im crying billie eilish did a grwm and almost every single makeup brand she uses tests on animals."
This comes right after Eilish marked several milestones with her concert movie, including a Rotten Tomatoes score of 99%.
