Billie Eilish’s Brother Makes Shocking Claim About L.A. Protests originally appeared on Parade. Finneas, the older brother and longtime collaborator of Billie Eilish, says he was “tear-gassed” while at the protests in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Finneas O'Connell, whose sister and musical partner is Billie Eilish, said he had been tear-gassed at the Los Angeles protests against immigration enforcement in the Californian city, which later descended into rioting.

Finneas O’Connell, the Grammy-winning artist and brother of superstar singer Billie Eilish, took to Instagram Sunday to reveal that he took part in the protests in Los Angeles and to speak out against ICE. “Tear gassed almost immediately at the very peaceful protest downtown,” he wrote on his Instagram stories. “They’re inciting this.”
