Billie Eilish has landed in hot waters for her recent claims amid the success of her recently released concert film, Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D).
The 24-year-old musician recently spoke out about her stance on meat consumption and harshly criticized people who eat meat, but the comments sparked a huge backlash.
“They won’t like me for this… Eating meat is inherently bad. Two things can’t coincide. ‘I love animals, I love all animals so much’ and ‘I eat meat,'” the Grammy winner said.
Social media was flooded with comments, calling Eilish a “hypocrite” and criticizing her double standards for judging her.
“I love her but she’s a bit hypocritical and I also feel like this is a very privileged take lol,” one social media sleuth wrote on X.
Another added: “This is a very privileged position. The body functions better when we eat meat. If we cut it out we would need to take a lot of supplements and that’s not feasible for most. I’m sure if we didn’t need to eat it in general for better health then we wouldn’t do it.”
A third chimed in to say: “How privileged and judgmental haha” and “I’m crying Billie Eilish did a grwm and almost every makeup brand she uses is tested on animals.”
This comes just after Eilish marked several milestones with her concert film, including a 99% Rotten Tomatoes score.
