Bille Eilish slammed netizens for their obsession with the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial over the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn women’s abortion rights.

The Happier Than Ever hitmaker spoke to NME after the court voted to overturn the landmark decision, explaining the lyrics of her recent song TV, which alluded to the defamation case.

“I was in this state of depression, losing my own rights to my own body, and then I’d go on the internet and it would be people giving their take on this trial,” the 20-year-old musician told the outlet.

“Women are losing rights for their bodies, so why are we talking about celebrities’ divorce trials?” she added.

“Let them figure it out on their own,” Eilish said before adding. “The internet bothers the (expletive) out of me sometimes.”

Earlier this month, Eilish sang her song at a Manchester concert which had the following lyric, “The internet’s gone wild watching movie stars on trial / While they’re overturning Roe v. Wade.”
