I’ve been in love with girls my whole life, says Billie Eilish on sexuality

Billie Eilish, the US singer and songwriter, has opened up about her sexuality.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the 22-year-old revealed that she has had a lifelong attraction to women. She also said she is ready to fully embrace it.

“I have been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just did not understand — until, last year, I realised I wanted my face in a vagina,” she said.

Eilish said it took her time to accept this aspect of herself and criticised the pressure from the internet to disclose one’s sexuality.

She added that it is important to allow individuals to define their identity at their own pace.

“I was never planning on talking about my sexuality ever, in a million years,” she added.

“I have known people that do not know their sexuality, or feel comfortable with it, until they are in their forties, fifties, sixties. It takes a while to find yourself, and I think it is really unfair, the way that the internet bullies you into talking about who you are and what you are.”

Megan Thee Stallion sued for forcing cameraman to watch her have sex

Published

Emilio Garcia, the former cameraman of Megan Thee Stallion, the US rapper, has filed a lawsuit against her over alleged sexual harassment.

According to NBC News, Garcia started working for the rapper as her cameraman in 2018 and remained in the role full-time until June 2023.

In the suit filed through his lawyers in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday, Garcia claimed he was “forced to watch Megan have sex with a woman”.

He said the incident allegedly happened inside a moving vehicle in 2022 when they travelled to Ibiza, Spain.

Garcia said he was “shocked by the overall audacity” of the rapper to “do this right beside me”.

He said he was left feeling “embarrassed, mortified and offended” after the incident.

In the suit, Garcia claimed during the trip, he was “taunted about my weight” and Megan made “fat-shaming comments” about him.

He alleged that the rapper told him to “spit your food out” and “you don’t need to be eating”.

The suit claimed Megan’s behaviour “created a hostile and abusive work environment” for Garcia, “making the conditions of his employment intolerable”.

“After a night out, plaintiff, Stallion and three other women were riding in a SUV together,” the lawsuit reads.

“Suddenly, Stallion and one of the other women start having sex right beside the plaintiff.

“Plaintiff could not get out of the car as it was moving and he was in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country.”

The lawsuit includes allegations of breaches of employment law for which Garcia is seeking financial compensation.

He also claimed he missed out on healthcare benefits after his role was “misclassified” as an independent contractor.

Garcia alleged that after the trip, he was told by Megan’s management, Roc Nation, that his services were no longer required.

He claimed that the termination of his employment was “in retaliation for my complaints of wage and hour violations”.

“More than once, Stallion interrupted plaintiff during dinner and demanded that he immediately shift his focus to assist with her TikTok creative ideas,” the suit reads.

Reacting to the lawsuit, Alex Spiro, Megan’s attorney, described it as “salacious accusations”.

“This is an employment claim for money with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her. We will deal with this in court,” Spiro said.
