Nobody deserves to be fat-shamed... especially an eighteen-year-old woman.
Billie Eilish has once again been the victim of creeps online...
Aged just eighteen, Billie has taken the music industry by storm.

She's been writing and creating her own music since she was incredibly young, and has risen to fame with her huge hit album When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? that was released in March, 2019.She's known for being somewhat of a quirky character...
Billie was home-schooled, so she didn't get the chance to interact with others of her own age apart from her siblings until she started to make waves in the music scene, which has given her something of a unique outlook on the world.It also gives her music a different sound...

Many are pretty shocked that such a young person could create such hauntingly catchy tunes - and such suggestive lyrics.Her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, ranked at number 1 in the charts.
But that wasn't even the first time that we saw her climbing the charts...
Her most recent single Everything I Wanted has been a huge success...
And we must say, it is an incredibly beautiful song.But, it's safe to say, Billie is as famous for her image as she is for her music...

She doesn't dress like your typical eighteen-year-old girl, that's for sure.She is known for rocking some pretty out-there looks...
Like this full white suit complete with Powerpuff Girl embroidery, which she pairs with some signature tiny sunglasses.Or what about this full green ensemble?
We have to say, love it or hate it, you can't deny Billie's commitment to her look - and that's not something many of us are brave enough to pull off.And Billie doesn't just experiment with fashion...
The star is no stranger to getting creative with her hair - opting for more out there looks and colors to fit her quirky aesthetic.Her neon-green roots seem to have become her trademark...
And they don't seem to be going away anytime soon.But it turns out that there's a reason behind Billie's quirky look...

Her choices in fashion - which strongly consist of baggy, oversized clothes - are picked to protect herself from her global audience body-shaming her and judging her on her natural appearance.Speaking in an interview last year, Billie explained these choices...
"That’s why I wear baggy clothes," she said. "Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath. Nobody can be like, ‘she’s slim-thick,’ ‘she’s not slim-thick,’ ‘she’s got a flat a**,’ ‘she’s got a fat a**.’ No one can say any of that because they don’t know."And we honestly don't blame Billie for having this attitude.

But sadly, people have already attempted to exploit and body-shame the teenager. Even when she was as young as fifteen, online trolls were trying to sexualize her for no apparent reason.It's terribly sad that the singer has to put up with this treatment...

And it is a harsh reality that young women in the spotlight are always targeted by older people.Many of these perverts have tried to blame her lyrics.
This girl literally said “bruises on both my knees for you” , “might seduce your dad” BUT I’M ONE WHO’S SEXUALIZI… https://t.co/iyObDoi4af— k (@k)1561326693.0
Billie has the right to sing about whatever she wants...
teenagers, including billie eilish, have every right to talk and sing about sexual topics bc as much as we love to… https://t.co/5i793YkIXR— aj (@aj)1561341484.0
But, when discussing the topic, Billie has said in the past that she doesn't want to remain covered up forever.

"I'm going to be a woman. I want to show my body," Eilish told Elle in an interview last year. "What if I want to make a video where I want to look desirable?"She said that, upon turning eighteen, she wants the option to sometimes reveal her body.

But she understands the repercussions a move like that could bring. "I know it would be a huge thing," she said in the interview, adding, "I know people will say, 'I've lost all respect for her.'"Well, in December last year, the pop sensation turned eighteen...

And we have been yet to notice any changes in her fashion sense and clothing choices.Until more recently.
The star has recently been pictured without her trademark baggy attire and the internet has gone crazy... with many unbelievably fat-shaming the teenager.And, after the snaps began doing the rounds on social media...
People were quick to call out those shaming and objectifying the eighteen-year-old.And now...
The singer took to her Instagram Stories to re-post a video by blogger Chizi Duru...
And the video begged people to "normalize normal bodies" following the backlash to Billie's photos.In the clip, Duru says:
Billie reposting this powerful video really hit home for many people...
Sadly, it really seems like Billie can't do anything without being scrutinized...
