Seven-time Grammy winner Eilish posted a statement on her Instagram Stories Monday addressing the edited compilation of videos, which was widely circulated earlier this month.In one clip, Eilish mouthed an anti-Asian racist slur and in another video she apparently imitated an accent."I am appalled and embarrassed and want to barf that I ever mouthed along to that word," the 19-year-old wrote, adding that she was 13 or 14 at the time.
"Eilish also addressed the"silly gibberish made up voice," saying she has used the voice her whole life when talking to pets, friends and family."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," she wrote.

How are you
Oh ffs. Look, who hasn't done that? As a kid, I probably used the N word a million times rapping along to hip hop. To me it was just another word. It is the intent that matters. Was she attacking Asians, or just singing along to a song? Get a grip CNN
She is a famous person and if something she did is posted on the Internet, she needs to apologize . The past follows you if you are famous.
How about we be upset with the author of the song for writing it in the first place. Let’s also talk about the disgusting lyrics about women….
I would guess 99% of the population is guilty of something similar. People grow. It’s stupid to scrutinize Eilish this way when she clearly has learned & grown from her experiences, as most of us have. To the people who are offended, I’m 100% positive you’re no saint.
Lmao god this shit is stupid
I bet she wouldn't be appalled and embarrassed if she wasn't famous and in the spotlight.
Anglo-Saxon Anti-Human Bandit! Get out of the earth!
She did it already so what can sorry do?
'No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite' Nelson Mandela.
She shoulda just left it tbh, I’m not a fan of her but I remember this then totally forgot about it, now I’m just reminded again but , I don’t think she needed too cause she can’t erase what her 14 year old self did and she’s 19 now so, cringe that ppl are mad
She owned it. Give a teenager a break for a dumb mistake.
I’m sick of ppl using age as an excuse for they bullshit.
Apologizing for singing the words to a song? What has become of us?
Apologizing for something she did as a child…it’s really quiet ridiculous, she shouldn’t feel the need to. Society needs to chill on shaming people for every little thing they’ve done…from birth. All she needed t say, “I was a naive child, I didn’t know the difference, relax”
Is this not the same as the scarlet letter? Should she have to wear a scarlet R around for the rest of her life lol
I am as progressive as they come but there needs to be space for forgiveness in moments like this, especially when the thing was said that young. Her situation was harmless compared to the racism children parrot in rural, white circles. Allow people to grow and learn.
Did she do Sum Ting Wong?
She shouldn't have apologized.
The young person did something stupid? No...
At 14 you still know right from wrong, or you should anyway.
I’m 60 and love Billie Eilish! I accept this!
Here we go with the apology tour. I wished a celebrity would just tell everyone to fuck off and to suck my dick instead of giving a long fake hearted apology about something they jokingly did many years ago.
Oh, she should be cancelled!
What about the person who actually wrote the song?
Most colored people barely have any issues even in their teen years of being racist towards another. This is all taught and passed down.....
I’m white. If I’m listening to Snoop Dogg (my favorite rapper) and I’m singing and say the N word 14 times I need to apologize to the NAACP?
Who cares she was a child and still is. Leave her be.
Who cares. She was a clueless kid. People need to stop worrying about pointless shit
Or maybe, getting upset about words, is a waste of time and no one should apologize? Ever? 🤷🏼♂️
Who has never said something stupid?
Omfggg so offensive and so biggoted- good u changed - so pretty too be republican u are billie ellish
Thank god no one was filming most of us, hey?
wtf why is it such a big deal tho? i dont get it yall so pressed about everything
STOP ASIAN HATE 🛑🚨
Who fucking cares. No mercy. Cancel her
Go cover a REAL story cnn
😂
Bring back capital punishment.
Just cancel the original song, cancel her, her work, cancel her social life, her online accounts etc etc... is that not how the liberal mob get it done? Well.... sometimes...
Once a racist always a racist
billieeilish has nothing to apologise for!Have we all gone MAD with this woke ideology! So WHAT that she mouthed along to a song with a slur when she was 13! That does NOT make her a racist! Some of these comments saying that “at least she apologised” need to get a life!
Why isn't the person who wrote the song apologizing?
My kids are 7 and 10 and they knew N word is offensive. She shouldn’t apologize and her parents should. They didn’t raise her well. And the way her fans defending her is hard to watch.
I hope she gets cancelled 😡
Time to cancel her!
Things you say and do b4 the age of 16 shouldn't be held against you later in life. I made fun of a kid in kindergarten, do i need to issue a public apology?
Cancel her!!!!
You think SJW’d care about age?
The reality is the most woke are internally the worst offenders. Snakes.
Another self obsessed little madam.
I don't know who this individual is, never even heard of her but she was friggin 13 years old for crimeny sake, folks need to CHILL!
Are you kidding me with this bullshit? She was 13…
