Billie Eilish‘s brother Finneas has hit out at a joke Twitter account posting fake news updates about Eilish.

The @BilliesUpdatess account shares fabricated stories about the singer, ranging from accusing her of supporting queer-baiting to saying she wanted to be poor so she could relate to her fans.

“Can you do something right for once and get this account suspended,” one fan wrote to Finneas
and he wrote: 

Over the weekend, Finneas also addressed the account, writing: “Also the account BilliesUpdatess is posting relentless lies about billie so if you see that account, report and block Em.”

is it really bad that i find this "i want to be poor to be relatable" joke funny

Good for him. Don't these bored people ever get tired of spreading false information? I don't think they're even trying to be funny, just misleading.

People believe anything they read on Twitter nowadays, so removing the fake account is probably a good idea.

That’s my problem with most of these « satire » accounts: they purposefully keep the line pretty blurry, and we all know how gullible people can be on the internet. It might be funny to some, but I don’t think in this day & age humour based on misinformation is the best way to go.

Lmao reminds me of that fake Wendy account a few years ago. I used to laugh at that at 3am alone in my bed so hard not trying to wake everyone else in the house up

Well, the account's description literally says "Parody account" .

Yeah there are multiple twitter accounts fronting like Gaga fans yet just drag her for everything yet they get a ton of followers and retweets. It's what I've noticed about active little monsters (speaking generally OK!!!) they aren't very nice to or about Gaga. They're so eager to her validation from their followers and trashing her seems to be the way to do it. If anyone here participates in that culture then come talk to me in DMs so I can tell you what I really think 😊

Are Billie fans still mad that she has a boyfriend?

Love that account because I can’t count the number of times I laughed

The account is marked as a parody account and is actually funny. What's the real harm

[alsemanche 93,869]

The fact that people actually believe that account though
