I came here to see if this was mentioned. They were asking her about her very own words she said in a published interview. They weren't even asking about sexuality. This feels demeaning towards people who were truly outed.

Nelly and Ashanti are expecting a baby together. This is Bennifer all over again, but better. Did they confirm? I saw the belly rubbing video on Twitter and figured they were but then I remembered it could be their need for attention I saw an US Weekly headline which means they probably sold the story.

That being said it was her own words they used But at the same time i understand what Billie is saying. Stop asking about preferences in interviews

This back in the day holiday movie that everyone watches had a massive coverup. After much of the movie had been shot, one of the lead actors beat his girlfriend nearly to death. The producers of the former #1 movie paid her six figures to not file a police report. Later women in his life probably wish she had gone through with the report.

I too love that she was there for Macaulay for this event! I can hear Kevin saying, Mom. lol I think I have shared here before that my hair stylist has done Catherine O Hara’s hair before, and he had only great things to say about her.

I came in strictly to ask Cher if George’s cameo was on the top of her list this year? lol. I should’ve known you all covered it hours ago. Also, I am really sick of reporters asking anything about sexuality. I know there are advocates who gladly talk about it but I hate it still has to be A THING in interviews.

I think Billie's point is that her sexuality shouldn't be a point of discussion, end of story. Her generation is increasingly calling for people to just let people live and not make sexuality a "thing". It is great that the young ones have this perspective, which I agree is how it should be. That being said, I think those of us that grew up in different eras of LGBTQ+ progress have viewed coming out as a source of pride and self acceptance. So it can be confusing and incongruent to how older people view sexuality in the public sphere.

willow, I totally agree. My teens very much balk at having any sort of "label" and believe it to be old-fashioned. I feel like the lack of labels is actually pretty consistent in that they are attracted to a person, not a gender. It's just not at all like our previous experiences within our age groups. And OUR parents' generation is never, ever gonna get that.

They very much think in terms of person vs. gender. I see it with their friends as well. It's refreshing, really.

leahcar, downwarddog Yes totally agree. And honestly, when it boils down to it, that is how I feel too. The "I like the wine, not the label" sentiment from David on Schitt's Creek, if you will. But because I am not Gen Z, I've labeled myself as bisexual to others for ease of explanation.

We didn't even finish it because it was just so bad.

Every time the dog shows up, my husband mutters "fucking Kardashians in Paw Patrol" lol.

You can always tell when it is award season and our actress is nominated for something or will be nominated for something. You don't see her for a year or two and then she pops up in online tabloids on a daily basis. Oh, and as a side note, yes she is paying the pap to take the photos. Not much though. The pap gets good money for her photos because she does only come out every couple of years. Plus, she is a name. A list this year for sure. Oh, and she has a bonus. She lets him know where she will be and he shows up and snaps a couple of photos. She wants to be in front of those voters all the time. She wants to win. She will do anything to win. She will even stay married to her husband who she dislikes more each day. A divorce announcement would crush her chances. It is the wrong kind of publicity during award season. Everything needs to be positive and friendly and if you can throw in a new wedding or a baby or the fact you just found a cure for some disease, that is always looked on favorable by voters. Cheating, divorce or admitting you watch television are all things film voters frown upon. Our actress knows how the game has played and has played it to win before. She knew this role would be a winner and she planned ahead. Way ahead to award season and how she would look. She knew she needed to pull out an extra card or two to have a chance. Some kind of hook. The last time around she hadn't really needed the hook. This time she does. Anyway, when she found out about her husband cheating and being a general all around a-hole, it put a crimp in her plans. She kicked him out to the guest house. Not hotel stays for him. No rumors. No chance for him to hookup with one of his girlfriends where he could be spotted. He stays in place. The only way he is going to get a check from her in the divorce and to cover many of his financial losses is if he stays put. Oh, except on red carpets where he will act like the perfect accessory to her Oscar dreams.

They asked that AFTER she said she likes females physically both in the published interview and in person. There was zero leading the witness here. Asking someone if they meant to out themselves because they said they like women physically when it could just be she likes the look of women is the issue to me. No one should be forced to say I’m gay or bi or whatever I agree with the sentiment that people should be able to live their lives. I'm just speaking to this interaction. I don't think the interviewer did anything wrong or sneaky and BE call out that they "outed" her was incorrect. No one forced BE to say anything. The interviewer wasn't badgering her at all. There wasn't even anything new said in the clip compared to her published interview. I just didn't think this interviewer deserved all the negative attention she's bound to get now.

Asking “did you mean to out yourself” is a dick move. Period.

This isn't the first time I've noticed Billie Eilish can be a bit venomous unnecessarily. Maybe that will ease with age.

She asked if she meant to out herself which put her in the position to either lie and say I didn’t out myself or confirm. Yes she could have remained quiet I guess but then she would be basically confirming or causing more speculation.
