T in Billie Eilish's mouth.

[rusted180]

Jeez... agreed to all the comments.

She actually used to attend this dance academy down the street from where we live right b4 she became stupid famous... my 18 yr old daughter wanted to attend it just cuz she went.. jeez...

All she is to me is just a glorified emo/typical teen. Too bad celebrity occupations have such a short shelf life.... i hope she has a backup plan like continuing her education... wow.. i just sounded like my dad. I guess that's what happens when you fall from your high horse as a youth after God spanks u in the a$$ for misbehaving. I know i def did.. oh but more so, when u raise a child...

Billie handles her GBB at about the 10:30 mark.

The way she's confining him in her hands like that, seems like the fastest way to get bit. He's an old man though, no way would my girl put up with that.

 

[HooahArmy]

I wonder how many video takes it took to have the GBB not bolting, kicking hairs, or biting. Those fellows aren't exactly friendly at times, and I hope Billy Eilish has anti-itch cream.

 

[aprilmayjunebugs]

She obviously still loves him, so that's good at least. I do wonder what the set up looks like though, for her to be able to just snatch him out like that, and probably pretty often.
I haven't seen the music video and I don't care to, not just because of the mouthing a tarantula part.

 

[HooahArmy]

Eilish must be some kind of magician if she could manage a GBB in the mouth like some fool. Every reputable T keeper would speak against Ts on or anywhere near the face. GBBs can also have some pretty gnarly hairs, this said from personal itchy, itchy experiences.
I don't mind what musicians are doing, but draw the line when it comes to animal mishandling. It sets a poor example to Eilish's young and impressionable fans and could encourage them to want to do the same, resulting in personal injury or harm to a T. Live animals do not belong in human mouths for stunts, for crying out loud!
I feel like I'm sighing and shaking my head like a disappointed old lady... Probably because I am a disappointed old lady.
I'm going to skip the video too, lest I abruptly find myself inclined to want to upstage her and eat a Tide Pod myself.

 

[aprilmayjunebugs]

If I remember correctly from hearsay, it was a Brachypelma in her mouth, but still. I guess i could just watch the video, but I don't like her in general. James was a good sport, about it though, not knowing any better.

I could end up in the er if I got haired in the mouth. I almost had one time from hives cleaned a cage out no gloves . But I recovered without medical care.

Did anyone watch her "you should see me in a crown" music video? She put a tarantula in her mouth, not sure what species but what do you guys think?

why on earth would anyone do this ??? Stupidity, ironic , foolish… poor spider thinks it’s getting eaten.

Some folks will do anything for a 'Like' on social media, or to stand out and be noticed by others.
Tide pods anyone? Save a T and eat a Tide Pod instead!
(Folks, this is a joke. Please don't do this.)

 

[Frogdaddy]

I really have mixed feeling on this.
On one hand I'm very alarmed that there was handling and a tarantula in her mouth. Many very impressionable young people may see that and try and duplicate it with disastrous results. Also keep in mind Billie was somewhere between ages 17-19 when this all happened. So maybe stupid kid stuff?
But on the other hand here you have a major global celebrity who actually keeps a tarantula, and says how cool they are. She obviously adores it and has been successful keeping it for some time. I think overall that's a positive image for tarantulas presented to the general public.

 

[aprilmayjunebugs]

@Frogdaddy I agree. Sometimes we humans express love wrong, but I do get the impression she really cares about her spider. All we can do is hope that she portrays them in a more respectful and responsible light in the future.

 

[Matt Man]

well that video is a few years old and that GBB was hooked out. I assume he's off to T Valhalla

I didn't even think to look at the date. Yeah, that gbb has definitely passed on by now.

 

[Arachnophobphile]

Her music sucks....
She should of warned him about the gbb has UrS. That's something most keepers tend to forget when handling their NW T's that actually decide to handle.

That T could of bolted at any second and go splat.

I'd love to see her attempt to handle my T's. She get a handful/face full of UrS plus bit.

Won’t find her songs in any of my playlists lol … so you’re not wrong although the bad guy was half decent song she’s a one hit wonder maker.
i really don’t understand why anyone would do this stunt not even a magician 🪄🪄 or circus Performer would never stick a live biting hair kicking tarantula in there mouth.
Common sense people wake up .. she is craving attention that is it . Celebrity’s want to be celebrated.

I'm waiting/hoping she gets UrS in her eyes then she can write a new song about it to warn everyone else. She does lack common sense

 

[mantisfan101]

I used to be super anal and strict about handling like everyone on this forum but after seeing this it’s kind of wholesome that she’s able to love them, even if she does some kind of iffy stuff with them. I do agree that putting a spider in your mouth is a bit of an unwise decision
