Singer Billie Eilish has apologised after an old video of her using an anti-Asian slur resurfaced online.
In the video, Eilish can be heard mocking accents, and in one particular sequence, she is seen singing a song that includes a racial slur.
She clarified the video was ‘just her goofing around’ and that she was not imitating any accent, language or culture.
She added that she did not know the meaning of the slur back then and said she is ‘appalled and embarrassed’ to have used it.
Billie Eilish further stressed that she has always tried to use her platform to fight for inclusion, kindness, tolerance and equality.
