BILLIE Eilish’s boyfriend Matthew Tyler Vorce said he’s “ashamed” of his past racist and homophobic tweets after fan backlash.
Many fans have turned on Billie herself as she dates someone who is ten years older than her and who has had a shady past.

Following the resurfacing of some of his old tweets and Facebook posts, Matthew took to Instagram stories to apologize for his past behavior.
“I want to apologize for the things I wrote on social media in the past,” the 29-year-old began.
“The language I used was hurtful and I understand how offensive those words are.
“Whether it’s just a lyric, a quote, or me being dumb, it does not matter. I am ashamed and deeply sorry that I used them in any context.
“It is not how I was raised and it is not what I stand for. I shouldn’t have used this language in the first place and I won’t use it again.
“I am so sorry for the hurt I have caused. I take full responsibility and continue to hold myself accountable for my actions.”

A few days ago, Matthew was accused of using the ‘N’ word to describe black people, while also describing gay men as “f*****s.”
Another tweet, which appeared to have been posted from his Twitter account in 2012, described English singer Adele as “a British Miss Piggy.”
One message on the account also featured a quote from the serial killer famously referenced in the Christian Bale movie, American Psycho.
Evil Edmund Emil Kemper had said: “When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things. One part wants me to take her out, talk to her, be real nice and sweet and treat her right.
“The other part of me wants to know what her head would look like on a stick.”
Screen shots of the vile messages have just emerged online and range in date from 2011 to 2017.

Singer Billie, who was recently spotted at Disneyland in California with Matthew, would have been 9 years old when the serial killer quote was allegedly posted.
Unfortunately, Billie was also pulled into the drama as an old video of her resurfaced where she used Asian slurs and mocked Asian accents.
Following the video, fans were left disappointed as she has become an icon and a role model for many teens.
One person wrote: “So nice when people record themselves being s**tty for posterity. Remember, kids, the internet never forgets.”
A second one tweeted: “[…] Cancel her please.”
While a third one commented: “Billie Eilish has been racist to Asians on multiple occasions (saying the c word and mocking Asian languages) but no one ever talks about it.”

She was also accused of “queerbating” with her most recent music video.
The 19-year-old singer’s fans claimed she’d been hinting she’s LGBTQ with her Lost Cause music video, in which she dances with a group of girls in a slumber party setting.
Fans also pointed out Billie’s recent Instagram post, in which she shared photos from the video and wrote: “I love girls.”
So critics felt misled when the singer was seen with actor Matthew in Disneyland.
Billie and Matthew, who both had face masks on, were joined on their date by a bodyguard during their VIP tour.

Amid the confusion, one fan tweeted: “If Billie Eilish says she’s straight after this music vid ima be mad because that’s straight queerbaiting.”
Another wrote: “Is Billie Eilish bi? Or did I just watch four minutes of queerbaiting done by a straight person?”
A third wanted to know, “Did Billie Eilish just come out?” while sharing a screenshot of her “I love girls” caption.
The Bad Guy singer previously came under fire over her 2019 song Wish You Were Gay, which is about a man who isn’t interested in her.
