Billie Eilish has been releasing hit after hit and has been soaking up the love from her fans, but now, she has every reason to fear that cancel culture may put a very quick end to her career.
A shocking video has surfaced that portrays Eilish in a very unpleasant light, and given the nature of the content, it's safe to assume she won't be able to explain this one away, no matter how badly she may want to.
A series of video clips depict Eilish making inappropriate comments towards the Asian community, and using racial slurs. She is heard mocking the Asian community, and fans are flooding social media to put an end to Eilish immediately. Now, #BillieEilishCanceled is making its rounds on social media in a very big way.
Billie Eilish, Exposed
Suddenly, Billie Eilish is in the spotlight for more than just her music. After a very disappointing video depicted her referring to Asians as "Ch*nks," social media is turning on her and exposing the fact that she seems to have a very racist personality.
Given the fact that there have been a series of Asian-based hate crimes in the United States, this is an exceptionally sensitive time and the public has been incredibly careful around this topic. Racism is never acceptable, but Eilish's questionable remarks couldn't have possibly surfaced at a worse time.
Within the clip, Eilish also mimics an Asian accent, much to the dismay of her brother, Finneas, who attempts to calibrate the star and get her to stop.
The damage has been done, and Eilish is now in some very hot water.
Can Eilish Be Canceled?
In today's world, cancel culture is very quick, and canceling an artist's entire career is very possible.
Unfortunately for Eilish, this terrible situation doesn't seem to be an isolated one.
Now that the public has had their eyes opened to the fact that this young, popular artist has perpetuated hatred and racism once, fans have been digging deeper and have revealed that this isn't her first 'mistake.'
Eilish has also been exposed as having exploited the Black community by using an exaggerated Black accent, and is also being dragged for queerbaiting.
Many fans are calling for an official apology from Eilish, and want to see a sincere apology and a promise of change.
To many other fans, however, the damage is done and their perspective of Eilish has been forever tainted. Her image has already been marred by this racist commentary, and it's not something they'll soon forget.
There has been no comment from Eilish or her camp at this time.
