Billie Eilish, 19, has been trending under #youlikegirls after she posted a video promoting a song. Fans said that the video was harmful and misleading. They said the singer and the girls in the video are dancing in a suggestive manner.
Was Billie Eilish queerbaiting in this video?
The ‘Lost Cause‘ video and a thread of pictures that followed, captioned ‘i love girls’, sparked a lot of controversy among her fandom. Others even thought she should be cancelled for marketing her video using the LGBTQI+ movement, claiming she is exploiting the community.
In April the ‘Ocean Eyes‘ singer was trending over a picture of her and Matthew Tyler Vorce, whom fans assumed was her boyfriend. Other comments even claim that the 30-year-old actor is grooming Eilish because of the difference in their age.
In interviews, the singer said she doesn’t like revealing her love life to the public.
Who has Billie Eilish dated in the past?
According to The Sun, the only relationship that Eilish had kept open to the public is the one she had with Brandon ‘Q’ Adams. She said that she had to break up with him because they didn’t want the same things. She also thought it was unfair on the both of them to keep something that clearly wasn’t working. She added that Adams didn’t love himself enough to love her.
Eilish broke up with Adams in 2019.
“I don’t think you should be in a relationship, super excited about certain things that the other person couldn’t care less about,” Billie said.
She says that she regrets letting people see the few relationships she’s displayed or shared in public. She says she’s seen a lot of people make their relationships public and break up. She worries if it doesn’t work out for her too.
Is the singer queer?
According to the Independent, Eilish has never spoken publicly about her sexuality. However, comments under the video brutally drag Billie, others bullying her to come out of the closet, instead of ‘queerbaiting’.
