With these pictures, Billie Eilish (19 years old) broke her Instagram record: The singer showed a new side to Vogue. With blonde hair, a pink Gucci seashell, patent leather stockings, and a latex skirt, she was featured on the magazine’s cover. When she shared the photos on her Instagram account, she got over ten million likes within six minutes. She wants to use that attention in the interview that accompanies an important topic: abuse.
Anyone can be taken advantage of. No matter what your life is, how strong you are or how smart you are. ”It can also happen to self-confident women.“ Then they ask themselves: “Oh my God, how did you become a victim to all people?” It’s embarrassing, humiliating, and very humiliating to be in such a situation. You realize that you have been abused. “
Billie Eilish herself was a victim of abuse
This topic is particularly close to Eilish’s heart as she got herself harmed. At the time, she wasn’t even aware of it. I didn’t understand before that age differences play a role. When you are young, you do not understand because you are older than ever. This is why you feel incredibly mature and think you know everything, ”explains the“ Bad Guy ”interpreter. Looking back, I realized her naivety is being exploited:“ When you get older, you realize just how wrong that attitude was. ”
Billie Eilish doesn’t want to reveal exactly what happened. She is intentionally hiding these special details: “I want people to listen to me. You don’t just want to know who I’m talking about. Because that’s not the point.” It’s not about one person anyway. The topic concerns us all. Moreover: “I don’t know a single girl or woman who hasn’t had a really harsh or bad experience. And by the way, men are too – boys are also constantly being exploited.”
Billie Eilish expects criticism due to filming
The singer is already expecting that there might be criticism of the sensual imagery. “People will wonder why I tell people I was being exploited as a minor while showing my boobs,” she predicts. But she finds clear words for that. “Yes, damn it, I do!” This is not an excuse for abuse. (BSN)
