“#Billie Eilish under fire for video mocking accents, Asian slur<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Some are saying she\u2019s a \u201cLost Cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

Billie Eilish has come under fire over an allegedly resurfaced TikTok video, in which the 19-year-old singer app<\/a>ears to mock several ethnic accents and utter the Asian slur \u201cc\u2009-\u2009-\u2009-\u2009k.\u201d TikTok user @lcxvy posted the inflammatory clip on the platform Monday<\/a>, and it had racked up 1 million views as of Thursday morning. <\/p>\n

The authenticity of the clip has yet to be confirmed, but the undated compilation \u2014\u00a0hashtagged #billieeilishcancelled \u2014 shows the seven-time Grammy winner appearing to say a derogatory term for people of Chinese descent. <\/p>\n

A second clip depicts the \u201cBad Guy\u201d singer\u2019s brother Finneas allegedly calling her out for talking in a \u201cblaccent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The offensive mashup concludes with the Los Angeles native, who recently dropped the salacious \u201cLost Cause\u201d music video, speaking unintelligibly in what some commenters are saying sounds like a mock Asian voice. <\/p>\n

Reps for Eilish did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment, but the clip \u2014 which has since been reposted to Twitter<\/a> \u2014 didn\u2019t sit too well with many viewers. <\/p>\n

\u201cAw man she rlly needs to talk about this,\u201d lamented one disillusioned fan on TikTok. <\/p>\n

\u201cIm not surprised billie eilish is racist\u2026\u201d another said in a retweet<\/a> of the shocking clip. <\/p>\n

One commenter fumed<\/a>, \u201cBillie eilish has been racist to asians on multiple occasions (saying the c slur and mocking asian languages) but no one ever talks about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, others flocked to the songwriter\u2019s defense, claiming she was only 14 in the compiled clips. <\/p>\n

\u201cU guys are sensitive and she was 14, she does not act like that anymore and we all [k]now it but for some reason we dug out those vids,\u201d said one supporter on TikTok. <\/p>\n

\u201cBYE I CANT W YALL ANYMORE SHE WAS LITERALLY 14 GET OVER IT,\u201d another wrote. <\/p>\n

Other fans blamed the clips on the star\u2019s Tourette syndrome, a disorder that causes the sufferer to exhibit involuntary tics. Eilish divulged in 2018 that she had the condition, but explained that her tics were physical, not verbal, Billboard reported at the time.<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some defenders claimed that the clips were taken out of context and urged Eilish to explain them.<\/p>\n
