Hitmaker Billie Eilish is opening up about her baggy clothing style, which has been celebrated and criticized by fans in her rise to stardom.
The 19-year-old “Therefore, I Am” singer has been battling body shakers for a long time and has even stopped to defend herself on social media more than once.

In a new cover story for Vanity Fair that she conducted before the release of the Apple TV Plus documentary about her life, “The world is a little blurry,” Eilish said he approached the now viral moment very calmly.
“I think the people around me were more concerned about this than I was, because the reason I cut myself was because of my body. To be honest with you, I only started wearing baggy clothes because of my body”, Eilish said.

Eilish said the hot photos really resulted in pride in herself for how far she has come today in terms of how to deal with bodily insecurities.
“I was very, very happy, mainly, to be in this place in my life, because if it had happened three years ago, when I was in the middle of my horrible bodily relationship – or dancing a lot, five years ago, I wasn’t really eating, “she said.
Eilish revealed that she used to take diet pills when she was a preteen. Before her music career at the top of the charts, she was a dancer.
“I was, like, starving. I remember taking a pill that told me it would make me lose weight and only made me pee in bed – when I was 12. It’s crazy. I can’t even believe it, like I – wow. Yes. I thought I would be the one to deal with my hatred for my body, but I think the internet hates my body too. That’s great, “she said.
