American artiste Billie Eilish said she thought people knew that she was for the girls, after admitting that she admired women.
While on the red carpet for Variety’s Hitmakers event on December 2, Eilish was asked if she had intended to come out during the interview, replying, “No I didn’t, but I kinda thought … wasn’t it obvious? I just didn’t realize people didn’t know.”
She also said she never really believed in the idea of coming out.
“I’m just like, why can’t we just exist? I’ve been doing this for a long time and I just didn’t talk about it … whoops,” she said.
In the original Variety interview, Eilish spoke about her struggle relating to other women and how she admired them.
Calling out Variety, the Oscar-winning singer said:
“Thanks, variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11 am instead of talking about anything else that matters.”
The singer also narrated how all the articles she saw online took her by surprise.
“I saw all the articles [and] was like, Oh, I guess I came out today … okay, cool. But it’s exciting to me because I guess people didn’t know, so it’s cool that they know, but ooh, I’m nervous talking about it … but no, I am for the girls,” the “wish you were gay” singer said.
