Billie Eilish Assaulted By Fan, Yanked Into Crowd as She Walked to Stage in Miami
You gotta wonder what this guy's plan was here. Was this an impromptu decision? Was he so gassed up to see Billie Eilish walking his direction that he was overcome with emotion and couldn't resist grabbing himself an armful of pop star? Maybe he was so dangerously horny that he was willing to risk it all for .5 seconds of SA and a subsequent beating.
Which if that's the case, I saw we lock that man up for life. If he's willing to "go for it" in THAT situation, the most public setting possible where EVERYBODY is staring directly at the person you're attempting to grab, then that's a man who we can't afford to leave to his own devices amongst the general public.
Or was this a premeditated grabbing? Was this man some sort of Olympic caliber kidnapper who was sick and tired of his boring run of the mill kidnappings, and thought he would attempt one on expert mode? Did he think he was going to apprehend Billie Eilish, pull her over the railing, and stiff arm his way through her security + hundreds of rabid teenagers on the way back to his van for a successful getaway?
Unless this guy was literally trying to murder Billie Eilish right there on the spot, I just don't know how anyone could have expected that to go down any other way. I don't want to say the f-word. I don't want to say it looked fake. But it did look cartoonish. The way she so quickly vanished into the mob of fans. The way she was spun around and pulled backwards into the crowd almost looked like something out of horror film. And following all that, Billie Eilish's remarkably smooth exit into a picturesque hair flip... it was kind of bad ass. She looked pretty damn cool walking away from the scene.
It would be an insane thing to stage, but to grab Billie Eilish as she walks to the stage in front of 20,000 people is such a no-win, no-possible-way-this-doesn't-end-terribly-for-you move, that you can't help but wonder if she was like… filming a movie or something…
It's also a little bizarre to me that the only comment from Miami PD is that the fan was ejected from the arena.
When reached for comment, a representative for the Miami Police Department tells Entertainment Weekly, "The person was ejected from the Kaseya Center. That was all."
They must have arrested him, right? You can't just take that man outside and let him walk free. That's a man who needs to be questioned. You gotta look into every relationship that guy has. You gotta go to his house and make sure Kesha isn't tied up in his basement. Keep your head on a swivel Miami. Assuming this wasn't all part of some strange publicity stunt, your city has a rogue grabber just wandering the streets. And if he's willing to grab in that situation, there's no situation that's off limits.
