Billie Eilish apologizes for old videos | Stars

entertainment">“You’ve asked me to respond to this and I want to do that, because it makes me look like something I’m not,” Eilish said in her Instagram Stories. “There is a montage in which I play back a word from a song that I didn’t know at the time was an insulting expression to people from the Asian community. I’m ashamed and puking that I did that. I had never heard of that word before this song. But my ignorance and age were no excuse for doing something so hurtful. Sorry.”

entertainment">“In the other video, I’m babbling in a made-up language. As a child I sometimes did that when I spoke to my pets, friends and family. I absolutely did not imitate language, accent or culture,” the singer also said. “However this is seen, I never wanted to hurt anyone. I have always worked hard to use my celebrity for inclusion, tolerance, tolerance and equality.”
