Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Billie Eilish 'thought it was obvious' she is attracted to women
Caption: Billie Eilish 'thought it was obvious' she is attracted to women. At Variety's Hitmakers event on Saturday, she elaborated on the magazine's November cover story - in which she explicitly stated her attraction to women for the first time. ”I kind of thought, 'Wasn't it obvious'? I didn't realise people didn't know. I just don't really believe in it (coming out). I'm just like, 'Why can't we just exist'? I've been doing this for a long time, and I just didn't talk about it. Whoops.” However, once the article was published, she realised that her LGBTQ+ status was important to others. ”But I saw the article, and I was like, 'Oh I guess I came out today.' OK cool.” “It's exciting to me because I guess people didn't know, but it's cool that they know. I am for the girls.” In the original profile, the Bad Guy hitmaker, who split from boyfriend Jesse Rutherford in May, told Variety's Katcy Stephan. ”I've never really felt like I could relate to girls very well. I love them so much. I love them as people. I'm attracted to them as people. I'm attracted to them for real.” "I have deep connections with women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life. I'm physically attracted to them. But I'm also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
