Billie Eilish responds to body shaming trolls
Everyone gets to that point in their life where they have just had enough of everything and everyone especially those that say hurtful things. Singer Billie Eilish, showed how tired she was of society when she responded to social media trolls for body shaming.
Billie Eilish has been fighting the body shamming battle for a while it seems but she has finally had enough, so she decided to voice how she really feels. The singer shared an Instagram story, a repost from a blogger Chizi Duru's TikTok.
This is what Duru says in the clip:
"Y’all gotta start normalizing real bodies, okay? Not everybody has a wagon behind them, okay? Guts are normal; they’re normal. Boobs sag, especially after breastfeeding. Instagram isn’t real."
Eilish has even gotten used to mostly wearing baggy clothes because she doesn't want people to sexualize her.
Watch the full TikTok video below:
Eilish once spoke out in an interview on ELLE, in its October 2019 issue about her style and her thoughts on how some people were applauding her for setting an example of how "young girls should dress" so they aren't sexualized.
The only reason Eilish even felt comfortable dressing in big baggy clothes wasn't cause she was showing "young girls how they should dress" but because of society's problem and inability to resist sexualizing young women, it has never been about her insecurities.
The point is not: Hey, let’s go slut-shame all these girls for not dressing like Billie Eilish," she said. "It makes me mad. I have to wear a big shirt for you not to feel uncomfortable about my boobs!
Eilish once wore a tank top and someone took a photo of her and it went viral on social media.
In her experience, her breasts have gotten her slut- and body-shamed in the past, and that's why she covers them. It's certainly unfair that a girl with bigger boobs will be called names for wearing the same thing a girl with smaller boobs would wear that people would praise them for.
Elish added that as she gets older, people should expect her style to change.
I’m gonna be a woman. I wanna show my body. What if I wanna make a video where I wanna look desirable? Not a porno! But I know it would be a huge thing. I know people will say, ‘I’ve lost all respect for her.'
Should we not let people just live their lives and wear whatever they feel like wearing? Who are we to judge?
