Billie Eilish is ugly. That's why I'm introducing my personal black list of celebrities whom you should not follow under any circumstances. If you do, then you aren't sophisticated enough for me and I WILL unfollow. She's pure decline. #avblacklist #BillieEilishisoverparty pic.twitter.com/iVbsg35VIu

The reason people are mad about Billie liking a meme is because she (rightfully) is so big on not being nasty about people’s looks, and yet she’s doing the same thing. I like her & I’m not going to cancel her, but at least understand why people are upset #BillieEilishisoverparty

Oh my god!! Why tf is #BillieEilishisoverparty even a hashtag??? She liked a meme! Probably something she saw on her Instagram explore page and she could've either liked it by accident or liked it on purpose and if it was on purpose, get over it! She literally liked a meme, chill
