Billie Eilish says she never wants to talk about her sexuality “ever, ever, ever” again

Billie Eilish has vowed to never talk about her sexuality and love life publicly “ever again”.During a new cover interview with Vogue, the ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’ pop star reflected on a conversation with Variety last year, in which she revealed that she was attracted to women.Later, a reporter asked Eilish whether she meant to come out. “I didn’t,” she responded, “but I kinda thought, wasn’t it obvious?

I didn’t realise people didn’t know.” The singer-songwriter then hit out at Variety for “outing” her, adding: “I like boys and girls leave me alone about it please literally who cares.”However, Eilish admitted earlier this year that she had “overreacted” to the incident but said “nobody should be pressured into being one thing or the other”.Vogue broached the topic in its new interview after noting that ‘Guess’ – Eilish’s recent collaboration with Charli XCX – “feels like a furthering of something” she had started on ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’.“Charli likes boys, but she knows I’d hit it,” Eilish sings on the remix.She told the publication: “I wish no one knew anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life.

Ever, ever, ever.“And I hope that they never will again. And I’m never talking about my sexuality ever again. And I’m never talking about who I’m dating ever again.”Eilish continued: “I guess I also underestimate that things I say will be blown up into the biggest news of the whole world.

That’s so unnatural. We’re all babies. We’re all little kids growing up and learning ourselves.”Over the summer, her brother and collaborator Finneas responded to a commenter calling Eilish’s ‘Guess’ verse “predatory” and accusing her of “queerbaiting for commercial gain”.He wrote: “What a take you little clown.
