Fans think Billie Eilish is the “Bad Guy” after some remarks in her latest interview.
The singer caught flack after saying in her Variety cover story that men are not body-shamed like women.
“Nobody ever says a thing about men’s bodies,” she claimed.
“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!”
After the statement hit the internet, several Twitter users voiced their disagreement — even labeling Eilish as “tone deaf.”

“This generations [sic] obsession with not only being a victim, but making sure no one else is more of a victim then them is unprecedented. How tone deaf can someone be?” one critic wrote.
“celebrities are so out of touch from reality its actually hilarious,” another posted.
“Truth is both women AND men have experienced body dysmorphia at some point in their lives,” a third added.
“Learning to be confident and getting past your body insecurities is a challenge for all genders.
“I guess sometimes it’s hard for celebrities to see that since their looks are their brand.”
Even “Love, Victor” actor Nico Greetham gave Eilish a thumbs-down emoji while quoting her words in a since-deleted tweet.
The Grammy winner, 21, made her comments while venting about the media attention she receives when she changes her normal style of baggy clothes and wears something tight or revealing.
“I have big boobs. I’ve had big boobs since I was nine years old, and that’s just the way I am. That’s how I look,” Eilish said.
“You wear something that’s at all revealing, and everyone’s like, ‘Oh, but you didn’t want people to sexualize you?’” she continued.
“You can suck my ass! I’m literally a being that is sexual sometimes. F—k you!”
However, in the same interview, the “Happier Than Ever” singer also said being sexualized didn’t bother her.
“Maybe my not really caring about being sexualized is because I’ve never felt desired or desirable,” she explained.
“I’ve never felt like a woman, to be honest with you. I’ve never felt desirable. I’ve never felt feminine.
“I have to convince myself that I’m, like, a pretty girl. I identify as ‘she/her’ and things like that, but I’ve never really felt like a girl.”
The “Ocean Eyes” hitmaker previously addressed her frustrations with being sexualized after she was criticized for wearing a swimsuit at 18.
“I saw comments like, ‘How dare she talk about not wanting to be sexualized and wear this?!’” she recalled to Dazed magazine in 2020.
“There were comments like, ‘I don’t like her anymore because as soon as she turns 18 she’s a whore.’ Like, dude. I can’t win.”
Before that, she confirmed her affinity for loose clothing revolved around the idea that she couldn’t be sexualized if she didn’t show off her body.
“Nobody can have an opinion [on my body] because they haven’t seen what’s underneath,” she told Teen Vogue in 2019.
“Nobody can be like, ‘she’s slim-thick,’ ‘she’s not slim-thick,’ ‘she’s got a flat ass,’ ‘she’s got a fat ass.’ No one can say any of that because they don’t know.”
