Singer Billie Eilish’s comments on meat drew backlash after she said eating meat is “inherently wrong” amid the success of her new concert movie.
The 24-year-old Grammy winner made the remarks while discussing her stance on eating meat. She argued that people cannot both say they love animals and continue eating meat.
Eilish’s comments spread across social media, where several users criticised the statement as judgmental. Some users on X called the view privileged and questioned whether avoiding meat was practical for everyone.
One user said Eilish’s position ignored people who rely on meat for health or cannot afford supplements. Another criticised her for makeup products, claiming that some of the brands she uses test on animals.
The backlash came as “Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour (Live In 3D)” continued drawing attention. The concert movie had reached a 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
