"I cannot win," she said.
Billie Eilish is firing back at trolls who once criticized her for her baggy, modest outfit choices and are now criticizing her for wearing a bikini.
"I cannot win," she said.
She is constantly making headlines for her deep, dark songs and visually stunning music videos.
Which is people, fans and non-fans alike, criticizing your every move.
And in particular, it has to do with her body.
You can't get more personal than that.
It was a huge part of her brand.
But more importantly, it was her way of making it impossible for trolls to body-shame her.
“The point is not: Hey, let’s go slut-shame all these girls for not dressing like Billie Eilish,” she explained.
“My boobs were trending on Twitter!," she said. “At number one! What is that?! Every outlet wrote about my boobs!”
Good for her!
“I was recently FaceTiming a close friend of mine who’s a dude, and I was wearing a tank top,” she said.
Which, let's be honest, the guy she was talking to was totally out of line.
"That is stupid. It’s the same shirt!," she went on.
“I’m gonna be a woman,” she said. “I wanna show my body.”
“But I know it would be a huge thing,” she said.
“I know people will say, ‘I’ve lost all respect for her.’”
Just after turning 18 earlier this year, she shared a very brief and completely innocent clip of herself wearing a swimsuit in an outdoor shower while on vacation in Hawaii.
Fans lost it.
"There were comments like, 'I don't like her anymore because as soon as she turns 18 she's a whore.'"
Furthermore, the clip only displayed Billie from the shoulders up.
There was really nothing scandalous about it.
She recalled the last time fans were up in arms because of the aforementioned tanktop she wore.
"Comments like, 'How dare she talk about not wanting to be sexualized and wear this?!'"
"People would be like, 'You've changed, how dare you do what you've always rebelled against?'"
Despite all of the trolls doing what they do best, Billie admitted that she is starting to feel comfortable in her own skin.
Let us know what you think of Billie Eilish's latest interview with Dazed, touching on her highly discussed swimsuit post on Instagram!
"If there's a day when I'm like, 'You know what, I feel comfortable with my belly right now, and I wanna show my belly,' I should be allowed to do that."
