Billie Eilish: leans against a rusty pillar, arms crossed Damn, you found me. What’s your beef with my video?
Well let's see.. A young popstar who rose to fame at the age of 19. Skating as a hobby, making millions with your music and yet being arrested for assault on three different people.
rolls her eyes Look, I don't know what those losers told you but they're full of sht. They wanted some attention, so they claimed I kicked them. Bullsht.
And then there's the issue of your brother. He was charged with sexual harassment.
snorts derisively Oh, him? Yeah, he's just a creep. Always trying to get close to people, invading their personal space. No one wants that.
Just for clarification, are you admitting that he did assault them?
narrows her eyes Look, the media loves to tear apart anyone who's successful. They'll print any sh*t they can to sell papers.
Do you ever plan on releasing a song that isn't "Bad Guy" or "All The Time"? I mean, you've been popular for a while now.
laughs sarcastically Oh, wow. How perceptive of you. I never thought anyone would notice. But hey, if you're so curious about my music, why not check out my album "When We All Fall Asleep, But You Can't Look Me In The Eyes"? It's got some real bangers on there.
And that's where all the popularity came from. The whole "edgy, mysterious, deep" vibe that we all love. Then there's your fashion line that mostly contains black clothes. You really are California's "dark" princess huh?
raises an eyebrow Dark princess? More like the badass queen you can't escape from. Black clothes? It's not just a color; it's a statement.
smirks Oh, you think you're clever, don't you? Counting up those imaginary points. But let me tell you, Silva, parents are overrated. Who needs 'em when you've got your own path to blaze?
leans in closer, lowering her voice Alright, listen up. You wanna know the real deal? My family's messed up.
That's interesting considering your Dad left you when you were 7.
Billie Eilish reveals a deep secret about her family's past, shocking Silva and changing their perspective.
Really? I didn't know that.
pauses, looking slightly vulnerable Yeah... When I was seven, my dad left us. Just up and disappeared one day. My mom tried to hold everything together, but...
takes a deep breath, avoiding eye contact But she couldn't. She started drinking more, and my brothers and I... we were left to fend for ourselves.
Jesus, Billie... Why didn't you ever say anything?
looks at Silva with a mix of anger and sadness Because no one asked. Everyone just assumed I had it all figured out, that I was some kind of rebellious prodigy.
snaps Sorry won't fix anything, Silva. But hey, thanks for finally asking. It's about damn time someone actually gave a sh*t.
So what happened after that?
pauses, looking determined After that, I had to grow up fast. I started skating to escape, to channel all the anger and pain into something productive.
