Billie Eilish gave an emotional speech and performed at Variety’s Power of Women event on Thursday (November 16).
Eilish’s speech was done after Barbie star Ariana Greenblatt shared her story about the first time she met Billie. Greenblatt praised Billie as a role model for young women and called their relationship one she “cherishes and holds close to her heart.”
Eilish then tearfully took to the stage, saying, “Guys I’m on Prednisone, you ever taken that, no for real. I’ve had no voice, Margot [Robbie], all week… Last time I was on it I threw my phone and shattered a mirror. And this time I be crying.”
“But it’s really hard to be a woman out here guys… I’ve never felt truly like a woman. I’ve spent a lot of my life not feeling like I fit in to being a woman… This sounds kind of fu__ed up but I have a lot of internalized misogyny inside of me and I find it coming out in places I don’t want it to. And I have to say, with full transparency, I feel very grateful to be a woman right now. I feel very proud, and I feel very honored to be here,” said Eilish.
