Billie Eilish posts 9-word message to 125 million followers criticizing celebrities’ silence on Minnesota violence after Alex Pretti shooting.
Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Billie Eilish shared a blunt 9-word message to her fellow celebrities in light of their silence amid unrest in Minnesota.
« Hey my fellow celebrities u gonna speak up? Or », Eilish wrote in an Instagram story to her 125 million followers Monday.
Eilish’s comments come after the killing of Alex Pretti, 37, who was fatally shot by a federal agent in Minneapolis. The incident marks the second fatal shooting involving a federal officer this month.
Her post came during a slew of reposts condemning violence in Minnesota, while also taking aim at high-profile figures she accused of failing to use their platforms to speak out.
One repost, originally shared by @thatcorporatelawyer, read: » ‘I don’t do politics’ Ok, well you’re a fully grown adult so maybe it’s time to start.
