Superstar singer, songwriter Billie Eilish has apologized to her fans after a compilation of 2015 videos resurfaced on TikTok. In the video, she was seen lip-syncing to a song where an anti-Asian racial slur was used. The video was widely criticised across all social media platforms.
The seven-time Grammy winner quickly posted a statement on her verified Instagram profile on Monday (June 21) addressing the video.
In one of the clips, Eilish mouthed an anti-Asian racist slur and in another video, she apparently imitated an accent.
"I am appalled and embarrassed and want to barf that I ever mouthed along to that word," the 19-year-old wrote, adding that she was only 13 or 14 at the time.
Eilish recently released her latest single named ‘Your Power’ and her new album, ‘Happier Than Ever,’ is set to release on July 30.
