A bold reporter recently approached Billie Eilish’s $3 million mansion in Los Angeles, asking to be let in shortly after her “land-stolen” comments at the Grammy Awards. However, he was met with a large locked fence around the property, as shown in the video footage.
“Billie, please come out! We’re here because this is stolen land,” pleaded GB News reporter Ben Leo while standing outside the pop star’s house. He added, “And I think we should be allowed access to your lovely $3 million mansion.”
In the video, he also expressed his hopes that Eilish might invite him in for a cup of coffee or tea, but received no reply from behind the gate.
Eilish stirred some controversy during the Grammy ceremony when she made comments criticizing ICE alongside her brother, Finneas O’Connell.
“Nobody lives illegally on stolen land,” she said firmly, followed by, “F—k ICE.”
Now, the 24-year-old singer faces calls for her to give her mansion to a local Native American tribe due to her comments. Eilish’s uncle, Brian Baird, a former U.S. Congressman, stood up for her, deeming the demands “disingenuous.”
Baird remarked, “Oh, give me a break!” and highlighted the contributions her family has made to the immigrant community. He further noted that “ICE agents are killing people on the streets.”
When asked about Eilish’s remarks at the Grammys, Baird stated that “technically, everyone in this country is an immigrant.” Notably, Eilish’s home is situated on land once owned by the Tongva people, the original inhabitants of the area. While the tribe appreciates her sentiments, they mentioned they have not had direct communication with the artist.
The Tongva spokesperson emphasized the importance of public figures discussing the true history of the country and expressed hope that the name Tongva becomes more recognized.
Meanwhile, a law firm in Los Angeles has reportedly offered to pursue legal action to evict Eilish from her home on behalf of the Tongva Nation without charge. It’s unclear if any official action has been initiated.
