With all the fame and fortune that being a celebrity brings, it’s easy to forget that there are some downsides.
Like, um, having fans get too close and steal your stuff!
That’s the latest sitch for singer Billie Eilish, who realized that her ring was missing during a recent performance.
She had let fans get super close to her while singing.
With the video making the rounds online, let’s just say that fans ARE PISSED.
The clip begins with the 17-year-old belting out her iconic song, “Ocean Eyes” at the ACL Festival in Texas.
It was only when she makes her way up to the stage that she notices one of her rings is gone.
“Somebody stole my [expletive] ring,” she said, which causes the crowd to boo.
For the record, she had *many* rings on, so props to her for noticing so quick!
I barely notice when I lose my phone for the millionth time of the day.
But instead of stopping the concert or getting super pissed, Billie acted in true Queen fashion by seeming unbothered.
She simply shrugged and said, “Ugh, guess that’s my fault. Keep that [expletive]. Take care of that [expletive].”
It was even BILLIE who calmed the crowd down when they began chanting, “give it back!”
She said, “The ring is gone for good, it’s okay don’t worry about it, who ever has that [expletive] tho take care of it okay?”
She also said: “Nah, nah, it’s OK. The ring is gone for good. It’s OK, don’t worry about it.”
While some might say she might have been too lax about losing her jewelry, we have to remember that this is Billie. Not, you know, one of the Kardashians.
For comparison: Here’s Kim when she lost her earring in the ocean.
Definitely an overreaction.
While Billie may have been okay with her ring being stolen, fans have taken an opposite approach. They are PISSED for her.
They’re seeking vengeance for Billie by making multiple “threats” online.
You guys, it’s a damn witch hunt out here to find the ring.
This is why we can’t have nice things, y’all.
Like Billie being super close to her fans.
Fans were also upset when they noticed that it looks like Billie was being choked at the concert.
Not cool. Even Billie looked alarmed.
This whole ring fiasco isn’t even the first concert disaster the singer has been involved in.
She may be relatively new to the music scene, but she’s already been put through the ringer during several other live performances.
For instance, at past performances, she’s been yelled at by fans, tripped and fell, and even once forgot the words to her own song!
Similar to the ring situation, she handled each of those times with her same cool, calm, and collectiveness.
Go Billie!
She’s also sprained not one, but two ankles.
Live on stage! During her performances, Billie loves to energetically jump around the stage, and that resulted in a sprained ankle in Los Angeles.
Billie has said that her team constantly tries to get her to perform less strenuously.
She didn’t listen though, since a video came out of Billie injuring herself just a few weeks later while jumping around to her song ‘Bad Guy.’
In the video, Billie has to immediately sit down.
She also begins to explain to the crowd, while getting choked up, “Dude, I sprained my ankle immediately. That’s so embarrassing. Ugh, and dude, I sprained this one, like, a month ago. This [expletive] hurts.”
She continues, becoming visibly upset. “This is a nightmare for real. I can’t do this.”
“It’s so stupid because I’m, like, choked up right now because I’d rather not do a show than do a crappy version for you, like I just want to give you a good show, like I can’t,” Billie said, before running off the stage. Billie did return to finish her set, according to reports.
Billie’s concerts are clearly high energy and always unique.
But hopefully, Billie stops getting herself hurt or losing jewelry pieces in the process of putting on such a fantastic show!
And now, here’s what we imagine from that fan who stole the ring:
We better not see it on eBay tomorrow!
