Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas O’Connell has defended his sister amid backlash over her anti-ICE comments at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
On Thursday, the 38-year-old musician took to his Threads handle to fire back at haters who criticized Billie’s Grammy acceptance speech.
“I saw many very powerful old white men who were outraged by what my 24-year-old sister said during her acceptance speech,” Finneas wrote.
“We can literally see your names in the Epstein files,” added the Nobody like you hitmaker.
For those unfamiliar, the siblings won the Song Of The Year trophy for the hit Wild flower at the Grammy Awards, which took place on February 1 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
In her award acceptance speech, Billie criticized President Donald Trump’s inhumane policies.
“I feel so honored every time I get to be in this room,” the singer began her speech. “As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything other than no one is illegally on stolen land.
“Yes, it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now,” she added. “I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just have to keep fighting and speaking out and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and people matter, and f– ICE.”
