Billie Eilish, a musician, made a reference to Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against Amber Heard earlier this year in the context of an unreleased song that she performed during a concert in the United Kingdom. The young woman, who is now 20 years old, has stated her dissatisfaction with the fact that people are more concerned about the trial than the overturning of the Roe v. Wade abortion statute.
The singer was receiving exasperated explanations from internet users who were trying to convey to her that both of the circumstances should not be treated lightly and that individuals are capable of caring for both without diminishing either one.
Eilish disclosed in an interview with NME that was released on June 24, the same day that the United States Supreme Court issued its decision on whether or not to overturn Roe v. Wade, that she made a reference to the trial in the song after the court’s original ruling was made public in May. She shared the following quote in an interview with a publication: “I was in this state of depression, losing my own rights to my own body, and then I’d go on the internet, and it would be individuals giving their take on this trial.” Who the f*** gives a flying f***? Why are we discussing the divorce battles of celebrities when women are losing control over their own bodies? Who the hell gives a sh*t?
The performer went on, saying, “Let them figure it out on their own. Sometimes I just want to pull my hair out because of the internet.
Billie Eilish made a reference to the song “TV,” which she had played the previous day, June 7, at the AO Arena in Manchester. The singer who won a Grammy sang, “The internet’s gone wild watching Hollywood stars on trial, while they’re reversing Roe v. Wade,” which was the title of one of her songs.
Internet users voice their opinions in response to Billie Eilish’s criticism of the platform for its coverage of the Depp-Heard trial
People on the internet were irritated when they saw that Billie Eilish had shown indifference toward the defamation trial involving Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Many others expressed their belief that people might care about the trial, which would bring domestic violence to light, as well as the overturning of the abortion law.
There were many who believed that the singer should not have discussed the case before having all of the facts in front of her. Users of the internet have emphasized that the topic of men becoming victims of domestic abuse is one that should be discussed and brought to the attention of social media users.
The following are excerpts from some of the tweets that were sent in response to Billie Eilish’s interview statement:
Public figures share their opinions on the recent decision to overturn the Roe v. Wade abortion statute.
The conservative majority on the Supreme Court hands a victory to a Mississippi statute that seeks to criminalize abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy by giving it a vote of 6-3. Since abortion is now illegal in a number of states in the United States, women who want to terminate their pregnancies will have no choice but to travel hundreds of miles to another state in order to obtain the necessary medical care.
Following the announcement of the judgement early on Friday morning, a great number of famous people have awakened in a rage to express their disapproval of the Supreme Court’s decision. Swift turned to Twitter to express her concern, writing that she was “extremely afraid” for the future of the country.
According to Padma Lakshmi, the overturning of Roe v. Wade will lead to an increase in the number of abortions that are dangerous.
At the Glastonbury Festival, singer Phoebe Bridgers was another person who voiced their disagreement with the decision. During her performance, she shouted throughout the venue, “f**k the Supreme Court.”
