Finneas O’Connell used social media to support Billie Eilish after some people reacted negatively to her speech at the Grammys.
O’Connell posted on Threads Wednesday, noting the strong reaction from older, white men to her sister’s speech. She also pointed out that many of those criticizing her sister are named in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The brother and sister songwriting team won a Grammy for Song of the Year on Sunday, making them the first artists to win the award three times. They, along with other attendees at the 2026 Grammy Awards, wore special pins—labeled “ICE Out”—to protest the Department of Homeland Security’s immigration policies and practices. This demonstration followed widespread public anger over the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota.

During Sunday’s Grammy Awards, artists like Bad Bunny and Billie Eilish spoke out against recent ICE raids that have been targeting immigrant communities across the country.
Hearing Eilish speak really struck me. Accepting her award, she said something powerful – that no one is illegal on stolen land, and it just resonated. It’s a tough time, and she admitted feeling a little lost for words, but she also expressed a lot of hope seeing everyone there. She urged us to keep pushing forward, keep speaking out, and keep protesting because, honestly, our voices do make a difference. It felt like a really important message, especially right now.
Although some parts of Billie Eilish’s speech were cut from the live broadcast, she was also heard saying “F— ICE,” which received a positive reaction from the audience.
During the Grammys, Billie Eilish and several other artists used their platform to criticize the Trump administration and the ongoing federal immigration raids, particularly in states like California. Kehlani, who won awards for R&B song and performance, was particularly outspoken in condemning ICE. Meanwhile, artists like Bad Bunny and Shaboozey chose to highlight and celebrate the contributions of immigrant communities in their acceptance speeches.
