Billie Eilish is asking fans to *not* make her the bad guy...
singer took to her Instagram Stories yesterday to ask fans to"please stop" pretending to be her in public. In addition to it being dangerous, it's downright disrespectful —"Please stop doing this shit," Eilish wrote alongside a photo of someone impersonating her in an oversized neon green outfit, which is the 18-year-old's signature."It is not safe for you and it is mean to the people who don't know any better," the Grammy Award-winner continued.
After posting YouTube thumbnails of fans who've impersonated her in public before, Eilish posted to her Stories again to call the person out for swapping her chunky Gucci sneakers for a regular pair of running shoes."Soooo disrespectful that you'd go out pretending to be me wearing THIS," she wrote.Soon after Eilish posted her stories, the person responsible came forward to explain themselves and apologize.
"I gathered a crowd and had an acrobat pretending to be Billie do a huge cheer flip, which revealed it was not Billie," Matter wrote on Instagram. I had absolutely no intention of disrespecting Billie. I'm a big fan, like everyone else.""I've never done a celebrity impersonation video before, but they're pretty common so I thought it would be fun to add my own acrobatic twist," Matter added before explaining that he didn't think anyone would get hurt.
Matter closed out his post by explaining that he's since apologized to Billie directly, and that he"will not post the video without their permission." Regardless, we're just happy that no one was seriously injured. And let this be a lesson: Tricking unsuspecting people into thinking you're a famous celebrity simply is not it.
