Billie Eilish: Why does body shaming continue?

Parents and their children react to pop star Billie Eilish being body shamed online

We speak to parents and their children about the conversations they have about body shaming after Billie Eilish was criticised for her appearance. A photo of the pop star without her usual trademark baggy clothes was shared online and a very small number of people were critical of her, with one Twitter user posting: “In 10 months Billie Eilish has developed a mid-30’s wine mom body.”

Also, we get an update from Nigeria on protests taking place over police brutality. The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) has been widely accused of extortion, torture and extra-judicial killings and was disbanded, but protesters want further reforms.

And we continue to bring you stories about how people are being affected by the coronavirus pandemic, as we discuss relationships. We hear from a man in Australia whose relationship ended during lockdown.
