Billie Eilish criticized Variety magazine for discussing her sexuality at an event, stating that she prefers privacy on the matter.
She expressed surprise that her attraction to women wasn’t already known and emphasized her belief in simply existing without the need for a formal “coming out.”
Eilish also discussed her discomfort with media scrutiny, which ultimately led her to wear baggy clothes to avoid being sexualized. (Trending: Olympic Gold Medalist Sentenced For Jan 6)

“Thanks variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11 am instead of talking about anything else that matters,” Eilish wrote.
“I like boys and girls leave me alone about it please literally who cares.”
“No I didn’t,” Eilish said when asked if she planned to “come out.”
“But I kind of thought, ‘Wasn’t it obvious?’… I didn’t realize people didn’t know.”
“I just don’t really believe in it,” she said of “coming out.”
“I’m just like, ‘Why can’t we just exist?’ I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I just didn’t talk about it. Whoops.”
“I love [women] so much,” Eilish said.
“I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them for real.”
“I have deep connections with women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life,” she added.
“I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.”
“I wasn’t trying to have people not sexualize me,” Eilish said previously.
“But I didn’t want people to have access to my body, even visually. I wasn’t strong enough and secure enough to show it. If I had shown it at that time, I would have been completely devastated if people had said anything.”
This comes after her previous comments about feeling intimidated by women and her struggle with self-image.
“I’ve never felt like a woman, to be honest with you,” she said.
“I’ve never felt desirable. I’ve never felt feminine. I have to convince myself that I’m, like, a pretty girl.”
