Australian activist says Billie Eilish got him deported from the US

An influencer and self-described “performance artist” claims Billie Eilish got him deported from the United States after he made fun of her Grammy Awards “stolen land” speech after trying to crowdfund an effort to move into $3 million Los Angeles mansion.

“Billie Eilish got me deported from the US — I think her legal team contacted DHS,” Australian funny-man Drew Pavlou posted on X. “I spent 30 hours at LAX immigration trying to explain that my shit posts were just a joke and that I didn’t actually plan to personally move into her mansion.”

The California Post reached out to the Department of Homeland Security to verify his story but is yet to hear back. Attempts to reach Eilish’s reps were not returned.

The wild episode stems from Eilish’s polarizing acceptance speech at the Grammys, where the 24-year-old “Wildflower” singer declared “no one is illegal on stolen land” and dropped an uncensored “f**k ICE” on live television while accepting Song of the Year.

“Honestly most of the agents were nice and laughed at the idea but there was nothing I could do, maybe evil leftists are still in charge of sections of the bureaucracy. I guess some people are in fact actually illegal on stolen land. And I guess I am just a BAD GUY,” Pavlou joked on X, referencing one of the singer’s biggest hits.

Her brother and music partner Finneas O’Connell, who stood beside Eilish as she accepted her Grammy, reportedly sold his beach house on the sands of Malibu for $5.66 million in 2022, the LA Times reported.

Eilish, who Forbes estimated had a net worth of $53 million in 2020, purchased a $2.3 million horse ranch in Glendale when she was just 17 years old. That home previously belonged to British singer Leona Lewis, according to Hello! Magazine. It’s unclear what other properties she owns.

The singer’s comments prompted a number of outraged comments and stunts.

“The woman is a blithering idiot. Of course, if she really means it, then she’ll happily hand over her multi-million pound Malibu beachfront home to illegal migrants,” wrote British journalist Julia Hartley-Brewer on X. “Which she won’t, because it’s all just silly celeb posturing.”

“Any white person who does a public ‘stolen land’ acknowledgement should immediately give his or her land to native Americans. Otherwise they don’t mean it,” charged US Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) on his personal X account.

Perhaps the most notable stunt was by a British reporter for GB News.

The cheeky reporter visited Eilish’s $3 million Los Angeles mansion and asked to be let in days after her “stolen land” comments at the Grammys — only to be met by a massive, locked fence surrounding the property, video shows.

“Billie, let us in please, Billie. We are here because this is stolen land,” GB News reporter Ben Leo pleaded outside of the pop star’s home in a post dated. “And we think we should be given access to your quite lovely $3 million dollar mansion.
