""No one is illegal on stolen land," she said on Sunday night. "It's really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. I feel really hopeful in this room and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting and our voices really do matter and the people matter. Fuck ICE, is all I wanna say.""
""Half the people in politics that you piss off won't buy your music anymore," O'Leary said on Fox News on Wednesday. Going on the claim that Eilish didn't take the advice of Ricky Gervais at a different award show, O'Leary continued, without a hint of irony, "I know her agents are going out of their minds. I mean, it's the first lesson 101 for a celebrity. As you rise up, whether you're a film star, music star, whatever-shut your mouth and just entertain.""
""Kevin O'Leary why don't you STFU," Ruffalo wrote on Threads yesterday evening. "It's hilarious. You will go on any show and talk shit about any number of things and smugly expect us to listen to you, but you will dig into a real artist that dwarfs anything you dream of doing for actually saying something that resonates with 100's of millions of people the world over. It's astounding the fantasy double standard Kevin O'Leary lives in. You played yourself well in Marty Supreme.""
Billie Eilish used her Grammys acceptance to declare "No one is illegal on stolen land" and to say "Fuck ICE," urging continued protest and speaking up. Kevin O'Leary criticized the remarks on Fox News, warning that offending politicians could hurt a musician's sales and advising celebrities to "shut your mouth and just entertain." Mark Ruffalo publicly responded by telling O'Leary to "STFU" and accusing him of a double standard, defending Eilish as an artist whose words resonate widely. Finneas, Eilish's brother and collaborator, also stepped up in her defense, reflecting polarized reactions to the statement.
