Billie said she was ’embarrassed and appalled’ last month when a video of her when she was a younger teen emerged on TikTok showing her mouthing a racist slur.
In a statement on Instagram, Billie said she was being ‘labeled some thing that [she’s] not’ in connection with the old clips.

Seeya later: Billie seemed in good spirits
‘There’s a video edit going around of me when I was 13 or 14 where I’m mouthed the word for the song that at the time I didn’t know it was a derogatory term used against members of the Asian community,’ she wrote on Instagram. ‘I am appalled and embarrassed I want to barf that I ever mouth belong to that word.
‘This song was the only time I’ve ever heard that word as it was never used around me by anyone and my family. Regardless of my ignorance and age at the time, nothing excuses the fact that it was hurtful. And for that I am sorry.’
She also addressed a second clip that showed her appearing to mock an Asian accent.

The Bad Guy performer said, ‘The other video that edited clip is me speaking a silly gibberish made up voice … something I started doing as a kid and I’ve done my whole life when talking to my pets, friends and family. It’s absolutely gibberish and just me goofing around and it is NO way in imitation of anyone or any language, accent, or culture in the SLIGHTEST.’
Billie said that anyone who knows her is aware that ‘goofing around with [her] voice is [her] whole life.’
She added that the negative response ‘breaks [her] heart’ because she wouldn’t want people to be hurt by her, even if it was due to a misinterpretation.
Shocking: A TikTok video compiled undated clips of the singer from when she was a young teen appearing to say the word ‘ch*nk’, a slur referring to a person of Chinese descent
‘Regardless of how it was interpreted I did not mean for any of my actions to have caused hurt to others and now it absolutely breaks my heart that it is being labeled now in a way that might cause pain to people hearing it,’ she said. ‘I not only believe in, but I’ve always worked hard to use my platform to fight for inclusion, kindness, tolerance, equity and equality.’
She concluded by writing, ‘We all need to continue having conversations listening and learning. I hear you and I love you, thank you for taking the time to read this.’
Some fans defended her, saying the video might be related to her Tourette syndrome, which she admitted having in 2018, though she said it only manifests in physical tics, not verbal noises.

Billie completed the look with a custom beaded necklace made by cocoatemyshoes, white crochet-knit cardigan, and sweatpants as she captioned the gallery to her 87.5million followers: ‘Yes, I know.’

Then just an hour later, the Bad Guy hitmaker took to her TikTok to call out haters with a short video.
She mimicked her critics by writing over the video: ‘is it just me or is billie in her flop era like why does she suck now…’
According to UrbanDictionary, flop era means ‘when someone in the entertainment industry is becoming irrelevant.’
The self-taken video featured Billie covering her mouth with her hands while trying not to smile as she shoots off several different facial expressions in the very short clip.
Perhaps the wildest part of the post was the caption which read: ‘literally all i see on this app… eat my dust my t**s are bigger than yours.’
