Billie Eilish once posted an image that saw her end up losing 100,000 Instagram followers in just an hour.

The ‘Bad Guy’ singer was doing one of those ‘post a picture’ challenges on her Stories back in 2020. But it wasn’t the selfie Chris Hemsworth regretted taking with her or some kind of questionable fashion fit check.

It wasn’t even something super personal, just a little glimpse at a bit of a hobby the 23-year-old had on the go.

Although she’s sitting at a whopping 125 million followers on Instagram nowadays, it seems not everyone can quite accept her vibe or perhaps candidness.

Or, maybe they just can’t handle the idea she’s now an adult with an adult mind.

Billie burst onto the scene way back in 2015 with ‘Ocean Eyes’ as a teenager, but since then she’s had a whole load of hits and albums... as well as growing into the adult she is today.

What was the image?

So, Billie had put up a question box on her Instagram stories, letting fans have the chance to give a suggestion of what she should share pictures of.

And one fan asked for: “A drawing you’re really proud of.”

The ‘Birds of a Feather’ singer shared a snap of a page of sketches of naked breasts, bums and female torsos, plus a couple of snakes for good measure.

“These probably lol I love boobs,” she wrote alongside it.

Despite her drawings literally just portraying the naked female body, some people managed to take serious offence, and around 100,000 decided to unfollow her.

How did she respond?

It’s fair to say Billie is often quite iconic with being outspoken online, so it wasn’t a total surprise that she issued a fairly brutal response to the people who went and clicked the unfollow button.

One of those who had stuck by following the ‘Happier Than Ever’ singer quickly noticed the drop in her follower count and shared a post about it on Instagram.

And it seems Eilish ended up noticing it herself too, as she also controversy by reposting it on her Instagram Story and writing: “LMFAOOO y’all babies smh."

The hit-maker has always been pretty open and previously spoke about what she called her 'favourite subject matter' in an interview.

The pop star was asked what she likes to do to decompress, to which she simply said: "Sex."

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Eilish continued: "I basically talk about sex any time I possibly can. That’s literally my favourite topic. My experience as a woman has been that it’s seen in such a weird way."
