Billie Eilish made her first public appearance since apologizing for a racial slur scаndаl. The 19-year-old singer was spotted on Tuesday leaving a photoshoot in Burbank, California.
Keeping to her signature baggy style, Billie wore an Erykah Badu x Chinatown Market outfit, pairing it with Air Jordan Legacy 312 Tech Challenge 2 sneakers in the Hоt Lava colorway, along with white tube socks. Her platinum blonde hair hung loose with a fringe just above her eyes, and she went make-up free. Despite the recent controversy, she appeared in good spirits, chatting with a security guard before getting into her car.
Billie recently faced backlash after a TiƙTоk video from her early teens surfaced, showing her mouthing a racial slur. In response, she expressed her regret and issued an apology on Instagram, stating she was “embarrassed and appalled.” She clarified that the video was from when she was 13 or 14, and she was unaware that the word she mouthed was a derogatory term targeting the Asian community. Billie emphasized that she never intended to hurt anyone and felt regret for her actions.
The star also addressed a second clip in which she seemed to mimic an Asian accent, explaining it was a form of “silly gibberish” she used to play around with since childhood, never intending to mock or offend any culture or language.
Billie apologized for any pаin her past actions may have caused and reassured her fans that she stands for inclusion and equality. She concluded by encouraging open conversations and continued learning.
Despite the scаndаl, Billie has remained active on social media. Earlier this week, she shared sultry selfies on Instagram, clapping back at trolls who said she was in her “flop era.” She responded with a bold TiƙTоk video that subtly mocked her critics, demonstrating that she’s unbothered by the negаtive comments. Through her unique style and candid attitude, Billie continues to assert herself despite the controversy.
