For Billie Eilish, we always judge women’s bodies, their physique, their appearance, and never that of guys! This is what the star says in a long interview…
The voice ofBillie Eilish rises more and more.
And not just when she shakes up the stage during the climax of “Happier than ever“, best breakup song of the 2020s. No, it’s also in interviews that the interpreter of “Bad Guy” raises his fist. Even if it means sending the haters waltzing in lack of inspiration. It’s precisely them who ‘she addresses.
Because his fight remains the same: to reverse “body shaming”. You know, this set of prejudices and remarks which aim to make young women feel self-conscious and make them feel guilty. Relationship to their weight, their height, their appearance. All this pushes the singer to push her rant in Variety.
“No one ever says anything regarding men’s bodies. If you’re muscular, that’s cool. If not, that’s cool. If you’re skinny, that’s cool… If you have a daron body, that’s cool too. If you’re a little chubby, everyone’s happy regarding it. For what ?“
Answer below…
“I’m not a woman, or I’m a slut”
Billie Eilish in the pages of Variety continues his saving column. And put the dots on the if: “Why doesn’t anyone ever say anything regarding men’s bodies? Because girls are nice. They don’t care because we just see people as they are!“. An assertion that will annoy sexists.
It is once morest these that the singer stands. Particularly when she looks back on her evolution on stage and on social networks, in relation to her own image. At first she wore pants and loose clothing. Until assuming a much more glamorous image : we remember for example his shooting for “Vogue”, disguised as Marilyn, who had caused so much ink to flow… Billie, in fact, maybe both.
“I’ve never tried to stop people from sexualizing me. But for a long time I didn’t want people to have access to my body. I wasn’t strong enough and secure enough to show it. If I had shown it then, I would have been completely devastated.“, she testifies.
Like an echo of the words spoken in a video viewed thirty-eight million times, “NOT MY RESPONSABILITY” : “You have opinions regarding my opinions, my music, my clothes, my body.”
“Some people hate what I wear. Others praise it… If I wear what’s comfortable, I’m not a woman.” “If I take off these layers of clothing, I’m a slut“.
As such, the singer clearly states the terms in Variety, always: “I have big breasts. I’ve had big breasts since I was nine, and that’s how I am. This is what I look like. Sometimes you wear something that’s really revealing, and everyone says, ‘Oh, but you didn’t want to be sexualized?“.
Between the lines, Billie Eilish openly tackles le body shaming. In 2019, a Yougov study estimated that 30% of victims of “body shaming” were women and that 85% of teenagers had already been made fun of regarding their physique. The most affected? The 18-34 year old age group. Worrying.
