Billie Eilish recently opened up about feeling ‘ashamed’ regarding her past actions that resurfaced online. In a candid interview with Vogue Australia, the 19-year-old music sensation acknowledged that everyone has a ’embarrassing’ history, including herself.

Reflecting on the scrutiny of her past, particularly online, Billie expressed her bewilderment at how the internet dredges up aspects of people’s lives, making them feel exposed and vulnerable. She emphasized that the discomfort of past actions is a universal experience and urged for empathy and understanding.

The Grammy-winning artist, who also graced the pages of the magazine in a striking fashion shoot, admitted to evolving her perspectives over time. She confessed to having changed her stance on many issues since her younger years, highlighting the challenge of growing up under the public eye.

Billie’s remarks come in the wake of a racial slur controversy sparked by a resurfaced video clip from her teenage years. In response, she publicly expressed her remorse and regret, emphasizing her lack of awareness at the time and apologizing for any harm caused.

Addressing additional footage showing her imitating accents, Billie clarified that it was simply playful behavior typical of her personality, rather than any attempt to mock or offend. She reaffirmed her commitment to promoting inclusion and kindness, acknowledging the need for ongoing dialogue and education.

Despite facing criticism, Billie’s fans rallied behind her, suggesting that her actions might be related to her Tourette syndrome, which she has been open about in the past. Regardless, Billie reiterated her dedication to using her platform for positive change and urged for continued understanding and compassion in navigating complex issues.
