Billie Eilish is getting candid about how hurt she's been by body-shaming comments from internet trolls.
The"Happier Than Ever" singer, who was just a teen when she broke onto the music scene wearing bold green hair and baggy clothes, said she was surprised when fans criticized her when she first began wearing dresses.
“If I wore a dress to something, I would be hated for it,” said Eilish “People would be like, ‘You’ve changed, how dare you do what you’ve always rebelled against?’ I’m like, ‘I’m not rebelling against anything, really.’ I can’t stress it enough. I’m just wearing what I wanna wear. "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.”
As for the baggy clothes, Eilish revealed that she wore them to hide herself in public."The only reason I did it was ’cause I hated my body," she said.“There was a point last year where I was naked and I didn’t recognize my body ‘cause I hadn’t seen it in a while,” said Eilish. “I would see it sometimes and be like, ‘Whose body is that?’”
The singer added that her self-image had improved since those days. “It’s not that I like now, I just think I’m a bit more OK with it," she said.
