It was trending. There were comments like, ‘I don’t like her anymore because as soon as she turns 18 she’s a whore.’ Like, dude. I can’t win. I can-not win."
In May 2019, Billie knew that people would body-shame her the first chance they were given, which is why she's at all times dressed in baggier clothes, something she mentioned in an ad campaign for Calvin Klein: “Nobody will have an opinion [on my physique]. because they haven’t observed what’s beneath.
