Billie Eilish was spotted in public for the first time since her anti-ICE “stolen land” comments at the Grammy Awards triggered a wave of backlash and mockery.
Eilish, 24, was photographed in her Los Angeles neighborhood walking her dog, donning her distinctive baggy clothing on Wednesday.
She appeared happy, relaxed and even bent over to give her pooch a smooch at one point, photos of the artist show.
The popstar has kept a low profile since she boldly declared Sunday night “no one is illegal on stolen land” during her speech after accepting her the award for Song of the Year.
“F–k ICE,” she added, standing on stage beside O’Connell.
Eilish, who Forbes estimated had a net worth of $53 million in 2020, has faced widespread criticism for the remarks — including calls to hand over her multi-million dollar LA mansion to Native Americans.
“Oh, gee, this ‘stolen land’ nonsense again? Maybe she should step up and forfeit her Southern California mansion since it is supposedly on ‘stolen land,’” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis posted on X.
“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. Also, I’m pretty sure they don’t mean it,” wrote Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) on X.
The Tongva tribe, the original inhabitants of the land on which Eilish’s home sits, said they have never heard of Eilish, but a tribe spokesperson said they “value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country.”
Eilish has not made any further comment.
