 There's some new photos of Billie Eilish floating around on Twitter that have a lot of people freaking out and something that we need to talk about right now. What is up, everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, what I like to do is pull different topics from pop culture and try to see what lessons we can pull from them to improve our mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And today is my birthday. Not only am I 34 years old, but I am seven years clean and sober from all substances, drugs, alcohol, all that stuff. So do me a favor. Follow me over on Instagram and Twitter at the Rewired Soul. That would just be, oh, the best birthday present you could give me. All right. So, yeah, how do I find out about this? Well, for my birthday, my beautiful girlfriend Tristan and myself and my lovely little son, we had to go see the new Child's Play movie. And anyways, on the way back, my girlfriend Tristan, she told me about this thing going on with Billie Eilish and we got at home and I started seeing it. So I saw that even Justine Mae Bitticon, she is a former contestant on America's Next Top Model and she's been on some other things or whatever, but she retweeted this. So this all started from some random guy, just some random dude on Twitter and he posted this picture of Billie Eilish saying Billie Eilish is thick, all caps, right? And he posted a few more pictures of her and this tweet is getting a lot of traction. It's got a lot of people really, really upset for a few reasons. All right. So one of the things, one of the most common things that people are saying in this situation is like Billie Eilish is only 17. Okay. So what this dude said was 17 is legal and like over half the states, right? And it's still, still kind of gross. Okay. So just to put it in perspective for you, I live in Las Vegas in Nevada and in Nevada, like yeah, it's legal here, right? But if you're 16, you can only get with somebody who's 18 and if you're over 18, the person has to be 18, right? Unless there's like, you know, permission from a parent which is weird in and of itself. Like when I heard about that law, I'm like, what kind of parent is going to like sign a permission slip for that? But anyways, Billie Eilish is 17 years old. Now today, on my birthday, I'm 34 years old. I am two Billie Eilish's. All right. God, I am old. Anyways, like I think about that. I'm like, that is gross, right? And although like, you know, people are saying, you know, it's legal and things like that. Like, like my girlfriend and I, Tristan, like we have a little bit of an age difference, but it's not like she was a teenager. Like just seeing when guys kind of say that, I'm just kind of like, yeah. It's just gross. But anyways, I notice a lot of women have been replying to this tweet. And if you're a woman watching this video, I would love to know your thoughts and opinions on this. But anyways, one of the things that they brought up is this clip right here. I mean, that's why I wear big baggy clothes. Nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what's underneath. You know, nobody can be like, oh, she's slim thick. She's not slim thick. She's she got a flat. You got a fat. No one can say any of that because they don't know. So yeah, if you know who Billie Eilish is, typically, you know, she's wearing like baggy like tracksuits and things like that. Like even at Coachella, she was wearing something, you know, pretty baggy because she doesn't want to be identified as, you know, what her body looks like, right? And it's something that's been kind of a theme with Billie Eilish. For example, when she was being interviewed on the Ellen show, her Tourette's came up. So Billie Eilish has Tourette syndrome and she has tics, right? And Tourette syndrome, for those of you who don't know, it's not always like a verbal type deal. Sometimes it's just like kind of like body and muscle tics and that's what Billie Eilish struggles with. But she didn't want to like put that in the forefront because that's not what she wants to be known for, right? Like Billie Eilish is a musician. She's an artist. She wants to be known for that and something that, you know, she thought about as a young woman growing up in this industry. She did not want to be identified like as her body. She didn't want to be sexualized, you know, because if you look back like, for example, my old self growing up, you have people like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and from a very young age, like these young women were being sexualized. Now, if a young woman wants to do that, that is 1000% her choice, right? And that's what something that's interesting too when people talk about Billie Eilish like being an industry plant, you know what I mean? Because you would think that like a record label or anybody like that, like her management team would try to sexualize her. Now, something else that came up was this dude. He started getting a little defensive. So he made some more tweets and he showed this this Instagram photo of Billie Eilish. So he like, oh, so I'm the one sexualizing her. Look what she said. So the caption on this, like I'm not going to say it. So hopefully YouTube keeps me monetized, but it says comment your whatever size, right? And surprise, surprise. There's been a lot of pushback on that as well. A lot of people saying like, yo, that was a joke. But anyways, like I said, if you're a woman watching this video right now, I would love to know your thoughts on this because here's the thing, like from a male perspective, like I grew up, you know, around like, you know, the masculinity and everything like that. And I remember being younger and seeing like older men, you know, maybe my dad's friends or whatever, like catcalling women and everything. And now in the age of social media, it's a thousand times worse, right? Like growing up, I've had a lot, like primarily my best friends are women. They just have been. I have a lot of guy friends too. But anyways, like the stories I hear, like that's where this kind of bothers me. The stories I hear of like women, I know women in my life who like get catcalled, like it is creepy. It is creepy as hell. Like if you're a dude watching this, like how many times like statistically, how many times has catcalling like actually worked out? Like I always play the scenario out of my head. Like I imagine like a couple getting married and like at their wedding discussing like the story of how they met and could you ever imagine somebody being like, Oh, you know, I was just walking down the street and like, like John, he just screamed across the street. It was like, yo girl, you looking thick as hell. And I just knew I was in love. Like I can't imagine that happening, right? But for some reason, dudes still do that and catcalled. But the other thing is too, is I know a lot of women who struggle with anxiety, who struggle with, you know, trauma from previous experiences and like even my best friend, she's a young woman who lives in Southern California. She's actually moving back to Vegas, but that's none of your business. Anyways, like she was telling me a story about how like it was late at night and she was like leaving a concert or something like that. And like some dude was like catcalling to her and then he like followed her and I'm like, what the heck? You know what I mean? Like I can only imagine if I, you know, I have a son, but if I had a daughter, I'd be scared as hell because dudes do do stuff like this. And I think that might be why so many women are speaking up about this and you can correct me if I'm wrong because many women out there have dealt with this in real life, right? Or, you know, on Instagram or on Twitter, you know what I mean? But anyways, as a father who is raising a young man, like I feel that it's my responsibility as a father to raise him right to be a gentleman to not do that. Like he's only 10 years old right now, but as he gets older, he hits, you know, the whole puberty age and everything and starts dating, which I'm like, but anyways, like it's important for me to talk to him and teach him about, you know, respecting women and how to treat women and everything like that. Like that is something that's very important to me. Like it's, it's something that I knew not to do growing up, but I know not everybody is taught or raised that way because we look at it like a lot of people, a lot of us, even me and you, whether it's catcalling or just behaviors we have as we grow up, a lot of it has to do with how we were raised, what we were exposed to and all of that, but yeah, it's, it's also like we need to discuss how, you know, like when it comes to teenagers, especially someone like Billie Eilish, like a lot of that is just really out of line. I know that she does have young fans and young audience, you know, but when you have older men saying stuff like that, it gets a little bit on the creepy side, but I don't know. I might be crazy. I might be wrong and it is now your opportunity to let me know. Let me know your thoughts on this subject down in the comments below. It was blowing up on Twitter and a lot of women are out here defending Billie Eilish and how she doesn't want to be sexualized. So I would love to know from all of you and like something I try to do and I, God, I hate saying stuff like this because I don't want to come off as like a white knight or anything, but I like being educated about things that I don't go through like this may come as a shock to you, but nobody's catcalling me when I'm walking down the street. So when you guys share your stories, like feel free if you want to share what you've experienced down in the comments below to help educate me or any other dudes who are reading those comments.
