Billie Eilish loses more Instagram followers since ‘coming out’ as Lesbian
Singer Billie Eilish appears to be the bad guy in social media’s eyes after losing more than 100,000 followers on Instagram since she ‘came out’ and discussing her s3xuality on a red carpet.
The 21-year-old artist confirmed on at a Variety’s Hitmakers event on Dec. 2 that she is attracted to women and lost almost 10,000 followers on the social media app the same day.
She lost another 75,000 the next day and nearly 50,000 more on Monday.
The Grammy-winning singer first confirmed her attraction to women in a Variety interview. She followed that up on the carpet by commenting ‘I didn’t realize people didn’t know.’
Eilish commented on the interview in a separate Instagram post, sarcastically thanking Variety for her award and outing her on a red carpet at 11 am.
‘Thanks Variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11 am instead of talking about anything else that matters I like boys and girls leave me alone about it please literally who cares stream “what was i made for,”’ she wrote in an Instagram post.
While on the red carpet, the singer said she doesn’t believe in coming out and wondered why people couldn’t just exist.
Elish continued: ‘I saw the article and I was like “oh I guess I came out today” – I guess people didn’t know so it’s cool that they know… I am for the girls.’
The singer may be for the girls, but some of her fans have not been taking that well on Instagram.
Users have called the singer ‘disgusting’ and others have simply commented that they are unfollowing her.
