Billie Eilish is facing a backlash for dating actor Matthew Vorce, who has allegedly shared ‘homophobic and racist’ tweets in the past. 

The singer’s new boyfriend, who is 10 years older than her, is said to have used the N-word, referred to women as ‘s****,’ used homophobic slurs, and mocked Asian people for wearing face masks. 

Allegedly, the 29-year-old also posted a gruesome quote from the movie American Psycho on one of his accounts.

It read: “When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things. One part wants me to take her out, talk to her, be real nice and sweet and treat her right.

“The other part of me wants to know what her head would look like on a stick.”

Although Eilish hasn’t addressed the outrage, the 19-year-old appears to have liked a post that suggests the historic comments have been made up. 

The post stated: “This fandom is so embarrassing sometimes like why would you go in someone’s comments and say something that you literally don’t even know is true and something y’all LITERALLY MADE UP.

“Sometimes y’all so dumb. Some of you need to learn how to mind your business.”

Eilish is also facing a hard time from fans because she’s been accused of ‘queer-baiting’ in her latest music video, ‘Lost Cause’.

She recently uploaded some photographs to Instagram which were taken on set which she captioned: “I love girls.”

However, some followers misunderstood this and presumed it meant the ‘Bad Guy’ singer was coming out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and they’re now angry that she is dating a man.
