Finneas, Billie Eilish's brother and collaborator, has come to her defense after a TikTok user accused her of "predatory" behavior and queerbaiting in her verse on Charli XCX's "Guess" remix. The TikToker also criticized Eilish for allegedly reducing girls to objects in her music.
Finneas responded to the accusation by calling the TikTok user a "clown" and accusing the internet of forcing Eilish to label her sexuality after her 2021 "Lost Cause" video sparked queerbaiting accusations. Eilish later clarified her sexuality in interviews, stating that she likes both boys and girls.
The singer has since reflected on the public's reaction to her coming out and admitted to overreacting. She emphasizes that no one should be pressured to label their sexuality and that self-discovery takes time.
This recent exchange highlights the ongoing conversation about queerbaiting and the pressure on celebrities to define their sexuality for the public.
