Billie Eilish gave an interview to Vanity Fair recently where she talked about her views on femininity and how it’s unfair that men don’t receive similar criticism for their bodies, which seems to have touched a nerve with a lot of people who don’t believe that this is true at all.
Eilish said: “Nobody ever says a thing about men’s bodies. If you’re muscular, cool. If you’re not, cool. If you’re rail thin, cool. If you have a dad bod, cool. If you’re pudgy, love it! Everybody’s happy with it. You know why? Because girls are nice. They don’t give a f**k because we see people for who they are!”
Unfortunately for Eilish, the internet managed to dig up an interview she gave in 2019 where she body-shamed men all on her own; wondering why girls go for ‘ugly guys’ and theorising that men with small d1cks get rich to compensate for it:

“Why is every pretty girl with a horrible looking man? I don’t understand. Listen, I’m not shaming people for their looks, but I am though. You give an ugly guy a chance, he thinks he rules the world. Literally, I swear to god. Because they got a hot girl they can be horrible? Like, you’re still ugly though. Can’t change that. Maybe that’s why. Maybe that’s why, like, guys with small dicks get like huge mansions.”
In fairness to Eilish, that interview is from a few years back and she seems to be somewhat joking, but it does contradict what she’s come out to say years later about men not receiving criticism for their bodies. Which is a shame for someone who has had her own very public body image issues to say, especially with so many young women who look up to her and copy her views on this sort of thing.

In the same Vanity Fair interview, Eilish confessed that she was attracted to women, which I think we could all have guessed after her reaction to Megan Thee Stallion’s latest video.
