Billie Eilish Once Apologised for Using ‘Slur’ Against Asian Community

Billie Eilish is one of the righteous people in the industry who is not afraid
to admit her mistakes. The young artist first found fame with her breakthrough

song No Time To Die, sung for the James Bond movie won her the Oscars. But with
fame, comes responsibility.

The world of the internet is brutal, investigative, and apparently good at
digging dirt on people. With the concern of cancel culture, celebrities can no
longer just get away with actions or even mistakes from years ago without
feeling the burn in the future. Remember Kevin Hart losing out on Oscars for old
homophobic tweets? It set an example for many. So when Eilish found herself in a
similar situation, she was quick to apologize and set the record straight.

Like many celebrities, Billie Eilish

13 or 14 when it was shot. Also, she had no idea that it was a derogatory word
against the Asian community.  “I am appalled and embarrassed and want to barf
that I ever mouthed along to that word” and only used the word once.
