American singer and songwriter Billie Eilish recently broke her silence after being accused of mocking Asian people in a recently resurfaced video on a popular video-sharing social media platform.
According to Fox News, a user on the platform posted videos of Eilish in which the 'Bad Guy' singer allegedly mocked an Asian accent. In another clip, Eilish appears to mouth an ethnic slur referring to someone of Chinese descent.
On Monday, the performer posted a lengthy statement on her Instagram Story apologizing for the slur, explaining that she did not know its derogatory meaning at the time of the recording.
"i love you guys, and many of you have been asking me to address this. and this is something that i WANT to address because i'm being labeled something that i am not," Eilish began her statement.
