Billie Eilish loses more followers on Instagram since coming out as lesbian

American singer Billie Eilish has lost more than 100,000 Instagram followers since coming out and discussing her sexuality on the red carpet.

The 21-year-old artist confirmed at Variety's Hitmakers event on Dec. 2 that she is attracted to women and lost nearly 10,000 followers on the social media app that same day.

She lost another 75 thousand the next day and almost 50 thousand on Monday.

The Grammy-winning singer first confirmed her attraction to women in an interview with Variety. She followed this up on the carpet by commenting 'I didn't know people didn't know'.

Eilish commented on the interview in a separate Instagram post yesterday, sarcastically thanking Variety for her award and showing her off on the red carpet at 11am.

“Thank you, Variety for my award and also for showing me on the red carpet at 11am instead of talking about anything else that matters. I like boys and girls, leave me alone about this, please literally, who cares, convey 'what I was made for,'” she wrote in an Instagram post.

On the red carpet, the singer said she didn't believe in coming out and wondered why people couldn't just exist.

Elish continued: 'I saw the article and thought 'oh, I guess I came out today' – I guess people didn't know, so it's nice for them to know… I'm for girls.'

Despite losing over 200,000 followers in 30 days, Elish still has over 110 million followers and is among the top 40 Instagram users with the most followers on the social media platform.
