Billie Eilish Says She "Can't Win" Against Trolls Who Body Shame and Criticize Her Clothes

From Cosmopolitan

  • Billie Eilish is fed up with people online who trolled her for wearing a bathing suit while on vacation earlier this year.
  • In her recent Dazed interview, Billie said she got a lot of hate for wearing a bikini and can't win against body shamers.

    • You know that creepy thing some online trolls tend to do, where they make unnecessary comments about teens' bodies and the clothing that they wear? Yeah, that. Sadly, Billie Eilish has been a victim of this behavior since she's gained popularity, even though she's known for wearing purposefully baggy 'fits so people can't have a dialogue about her bod. But when Billie went on vacation earlier this year and wore a bathing suit—call the cops!!—mean people wouldn't let her be.

    In Billie's recent interview with Dazed, she recalls reading comments after posting the bathing suit pics to her Instagram. "I saw comments like, 'How dare she talk about not wanting to be sexualized and wear this?!'" she said. "It was trending. There were comments like, 'I don't like her anymore because as soon as she turns 18 she's a whore.' Like, dude. I can't win."

    Here's what Billie posted of herself, in case you were wondering:

    Back in May, Billie opened up about why she often chooses to wear baggier clothes. "Nobody can have an opinion [on my body]. because they haven't seen what's underneath," she said in a behind-the-scenes video for her Calvin Klein campaign. "Nobody can be like, 'she's slim-thick,' 'she's not slim-thick,' 'she's got a flat ass,' 'she's got a fat ass.' No one can say any of that because they don't know."As frustrating as this may be for Billie, she acknowledges that she will probably always be critiqued if she wears anything dramatically different from her normal wardrobe staples."If I wore a dress to something, I would be hated for it. People would be like, 'You've changed, how dare you do what you've always rebelled against?' I'm like, 'I'm not rebelling against anything, really,'" she said. "I can't stress it enough. I'm just wearing what I wanna wear. If there's a day when I'm like, 'You know what, I feel comfortable with my belly right now and I wanna show my belly,' I should be allowed to do that."Now for the millionth time—can we please just focus on Billie's music and like...not go in on what she chooses to put on her body???

    Rambunctious Bowie may be a pup in kitten’s clothing: Send us your pet rescue stories

    MEDINA, Ohio -- Bowie came into my life last September after a family friend found a litter of kittens in her back yard. I couldn't resist his adorable little half-gray face and had to bring him home -- and he's been a spitfire ever since. Although we're unsure of who Bowie's father is, I'm convinced it was a dog of some sort. Because Bowie may look like a kitten, but he acts like a puppy. Starting very young, Bowie learned that his favorite activity was a nice game of fetch. He also enjoys chasing me around the house, giving me kisses when I ask, crying at the door if I leave the house, begging for snacks at the dinner table and cuddling up to watch TV at the end of the night. The most cat-like thing he does is purr. When the COVID-19 outbreak began, I was still based in New York City. I had to make the tough decision to flee the city and come home to Medina, where I could have more space and safety, but obviously I couldn't leave my kitten behind in an empty a

Johnson/The Republic) Chandler clothing company State Forty Eight applied for the Paycheck Protection Program loan the first day they were made available. The government funding ran out before they were approved for the small-business loan, the company says.  But the apparel-line owners remain optimistic.  "We are making the best out of it and that's been the mindset for us," said Mike Spangenberg, the CEO and co-founder of State Forty Eight.    Spangenberg said the small-business loan process was "frustrating."  The company is trying to move forward and not "bank" on getting funds from the second round of small-business loan money passed by Congress and signed by President Trump on Friday.   Although retail store closures halted some business for State Forty Eight, the company continu

    From JDT glory to English non-league anonymity and his own clothing line

    © Provided by Sporting News Having started out in non-league football in England back in 2011, Junior Eldstal is once again in those same waters in 2020, this time with Metropolitan Police. The difference, however, is that he enjoyed a hugely productive period in Malaysian football with Sarawak, Johor Darul Ta'zim and the Malaysia national teams in between.  Still only 28 years old, Junior made the incredible decision to return to England to focus on developing his business after the 2018 season with JDT. But over time, the lure of football is proving more and more difficult to ignore. Acknowledging that time is still on his side, Junior is keeping his options open, while keeping a close eye on proceedings in Malaysia. "I decided to play for Met Police because they are only five minutes down the road from me and I have a couple of friends there. It's quite a good standard. When I first started, the thought process wasn't about thinking to ge
