Billie Eilish 'appalled and embarrassed' by slur when she was 13
 
[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.

In an edited compilation video posted to
TikTok earlier in June, Eilish 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.]

Well as long as she's learnt from that and moved on, then I don't think this should be held over her head. She's apologised .

She won't be the only person to have done and said dumb things as a kid ,who now regret it .

Agree, She was 13 years old at the time, a child

Oh, I remember reading about this a few days ago but it never mentioned that it was back when she was a kid. It made it out to have happened quite recently.

Kids do dumb ****, it doesn't make it right, but she's apologised and has hopefully learned better since then. If this happened recently, it would be a different story entirely, tbh.

I'm just glad we didn't have the internet to save it all when I was younger :laugh:

…we talked about this in a thread a little while ago, that social media stuff when younger is something that’s going to be a thing more and more in the future because it’s a relatively new thing….

…it wasn’t Billie that I meant, Arista…it wasn’t saying that the story was being repeated…?….it was just the situation that was similar with something that Ollie Robinson had tweeted when he was much younger…and we discussed that historical social media posts/tweets etc are going to become more and more the thing as news topics as social media is a modern day thing….

…this was the thread where we talked about it and it’s whether it’s an obvious present day typical mindset or something that appears to be moved on from when very young….
