Billie Eilish Slams Celebrities With Brutal Nine-Word Message After Pretti Killing

by

Billie Eilish is known for speaking her mind, and now she’s challenging other celebrities to do the same by pointing out their silence on important issues.

The 24-year-old singer frequently uses her voice to discuss important political and social topics. She’s previously addressed issues like wealth inequality, the situation in Palestine, and the need for climate action. Lately, she’s been speaking out about the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), particularly in Minnesota.

In 2026, Billie received an award for environmental justice from the King Center, named after Martin Luther King Jr. While accepting the award, she spoke out against injustices happening in the U.S., particularly alluding to the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). She described a climate of fear, mentioning instances of people being taken from their homes and peaceful protestors being harmed, even killed. She was specifically referencing the death of Renee Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an event widely documented by local news and shared online.

Following a recent fatal encounter with ICE, Billie once again voiced her concerns. The incident involved the shooting death of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse from Virginia, by ICE agents during a protest in Minnesota. The shooting sparked widespread online anger, particularly after videos shared by witnesses seemed to challenge the Trump administration’s account of what happened. Details of the shooting quickly circulated on social media through videos and reports from people present at the scene.

After Pretti passed away, Billie used her Instagram Stories to call out celebrities who hadn’t publicly acknowledged the loss. She shared a video calling Pretti a true hero, and then reposted a message saying that those who claim to avoid politics should probably start paying attention, now that they’re adults. Both of these posts were originally shared on her Instagram Story.

Billie shared a photo of herself looking puzzled and then publicly challenged other celebrities to speak out on an important issue. Her short message, simply asking ‘Hey my fellow celebrities u gonna speak up? Or…,’ quickly went viral and many applauded her for addressing the lack of response from others.

Billie Eilish remains a major force in music. Her newest album was incredibly popular, and she’s also committed to making a difference by donating $11.5 million to support climate justice initiatives. Recently, the King Center recognized her growing influence beyond music, highlighting her impact as a public figure, according to both the organization and her representatives.

In Minnesota, Renee Good and Alex Pretti are increasingly recognized figures as disagreements rise between federal authorities and local residents. As events like award shows and film festivals take place in 2026, more celebrities are expressing their opinions publicly, both online and in interviews.
