Billie Eilish had the most inspiring response to being body shamed by trolls

Billie Eilish had the perfect response to trolls who thought it was necessary to comment on her body.

The 18 year-old singer discussed the reactions to a photo of her wearing a tank top, shorts and sliders that circulated in October.

Some of the people who shared the image made misogynistic and fat-shaming comments. Eilish, who found fame in her teenage years, typically wears baggy clothes, in part to avoid this.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, she said:

“There's this picture of me running from my car to my brother’s front door on like a 110 degree day in a tank top. And people were like, damn, Billie got fat. And I’m like, nope, this is how I look, you've just never seen it before!"

She added:

“I love having kids relate to me and tell me that I make them feel comfortable in their bodies. If I can do anything, I want to do that.”

After the photo was shared, many of Eilish’s fans came to her defence.

And praised her “inspiring” reaction to being body-shamed.

Eilish herself has also spoken out about the double-standards women in the music industry face before.

In her a short film published on YouTube, she pointed out that strangers attaching her worth to her body was more their problem than it is hers.
