Billie Eilish has apologised and said she is"appalled and embarrassed" over a video that emerged appearing to show the singer mouthing a racist slur.seems to mouth an anti-Asian slur featured in Tyler The Creator's song Fish, released in 2011. She was also filmed speaking in various accents.
Posting a lengthy statement on Instagram, the 19-year-old said she was aged 13 or 14 at the time and did not know that the word was derogatory, but said she wanted to address criticism as"I'm being labelled something that I am not"."I am appalled and embarrassed and want to barf that i ever mouthed along to that word," the Grammy-winning star wrote."This song was the only time I'd ever heard that word as it was never used around me by anyone in my family.
"Regardless of my ignorance and age at the time, nothing excuses the fact is that it was hurtful. and for that i am sorry."Eilish, who soared to fame in 2019 and in 2020 won all four of the big prizes at the Grammys, said footage of her imitating accents in another clip was something she has done since she was a child and was just a"silly gibberish made up voice".
She added:"It is absolute gibberish and just me goofing around, and is in NO way an imitation of anyone or any language, accent, or culture in the SLIGHTEST."
No one cares, this isn’t news
What did she say? Nigger?
SHE WAS 13!!!! Why are we dragging up s*it
The social justice warrior elders are now convening to decide her faith
only after the fact and being busted....
Why?
The militants want their blood. No apology, no excuse, no age will allow them to consider the context of her admittedly stupid action. I bet those same militants aren't squeaky clean. Loders all night long.
Then maybe ban all songs that use racial slurs. Not every child is going to know them all and every parent can't monitor terns 24/7. If artists are going to continue putting them in their music, young fans will continue singing along.
Almost as if it was someone else saying it, eh.
She was only a child. Leave her alone.
Why is she appalled that it emerged, she knows she did it
So the great cancel culture doesn’t of course apply to woke girls
Another luvvie bits the dust!
