Read our privacy policy Billie Eilish delivered a powerful message about body shaming during the first night of her world tour. In the clip the Bad Guy singer, who has previously said she wears baggy clothes to avoid being sexualised, addressed criticism of what she wears and negative comments made about her body on social media. Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?” Fans were quick to praise Eilish for the powerful video, with one person calling her “the strongest, most empowering woman I know”. “Nobody can be like, ‘Oh, 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.”
