Billie Eilish has hit out at the fixation social media users had on the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial - when she says there were more pressing matters to be discussed. Over the last couple of months, social media and news outlets have been awash with stories, comments, and coverage about the $50 million defamation trial between 59-year-old Depp and 36-year-old Heard. However, 20-year-old Eilish has now revealed that people discussing the trial to such an extent "bothered the s**t" out of her, especially while the US Supreme Court petitioned to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263159694" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/06/RoeWade-1024x539.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="539" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Bob Daemmrich / Alamy]] In her latest track, 'TV', Eilish sings: "The internet’s gone wild watching movie stars on trial / While they’re overturning Roe v. Wade." In a follow-up interview with NME, Eilish provided some added context behind the lyrics. "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 'Bad Guy' singer says. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263150483" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/04/eilishoscars-1-1024x534.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="534" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Doug Peters / Alamy]] "Who f***ing gives a f**k? Women are losing rights for their bodies, so why are we talking about celebrities’ divorce trials? Who gives a s**t? Let them figure it out on their own. "The internet bothers the s**t out of me sometimes..." Of course, on Friday the SCOTUS voted 5-4 to overturn Roe v. Wade, meaning that there will no longer be a federal constitutional right to an abortion. It is a decision that will undoubtedly have huge consequences on women's reproductive health across the country, and one that has even been <a href="https://vt.co/news/us/joe-biden-says-roe-v-wade-ruling-has-set-america-back-150-years" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemned by President Joe Biden</a>. On Friday evening, Eilish also took to the main stage at the UK's Glastonbury music festival, where she once again slammed the overturning of Roe v. Wade. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263159774" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/06/2JE3A36-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" />[[imagecaption|| Eilish at Glastonbury on June 24.

Elsewhere in the music world, <a href="https://vt.co/news/entertainment-news/lizzo-pledges-500000-to-planned-parenthood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lizzo has responded to yesterday's news by pledging $500,000</a> to Planned Parenthood and Abortion Rights. <h6>Featured image credit: Abaca Press / Alamy</h6>
