"Billie Eilish said she wants the internet to “leave me alone” about liking
both women and men, after her sexuality became red carpet talk for
Variety.
“Thanks
Variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11am
instead of talking about anything else that matters,” she said in an Instagram
post Sunday, before adding,”literally who cares.”
The Grammy-winning singer was one of a handful of honorees at the magazine’s
annual Hitmakers Brunch on Saturday. Eilish and brother Finneas‘ “Barbie” hit
“What Was I Made For?” won film song of the year. Before the festivities began,
Eilish stepped out onto the red carpet where she spoke to a
Variety red
carpet reporter about her cover story from November.
Eilish, also known for hits “Bad Guy,” “Happier Than Ever” and “Bury a Friend,”
revealed to
Variety last month that despite her struggles to relate to girls,
she loves them as people and is “attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to
them for real.”
Elsewhere in the cover story she said she identifies as “she/her” but that she
has “never really felt like a girl.”
“Billie, did you mean to come out in the story?” the reporter asked the
21-year-old singer Saturday.
“No, I didn’t but I kinda thought... wasn’t it obvious? I didn’t realize people
didn’t know,” Eilish replied.
The singer continued her red carpet interview on Saturday saying that she “just
[doesn’t] really believe in” the idea of coming out. “Why can’t we just
exist?”"
