Finneas sparks controversy with onstage kiss, Internet reacts with accusations of queer-baiting

Finneas, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and brother of Billie Eilish, has sparked controversy after a video of him kissing his guitarist during a concert in Brooklyn went viral online. The incident has led to accusations of queer-baiting, with many social media users expressing their outrage and confusion.

According to reports, Finneas performed his hit song “1 True Love” at the Warsaw concerts in Brooklyn on October 12, and at one point he kissed his guitarist on stage. The moment was caught on video by members of the public and quickly spread on social media.

Many users on X (formerly known as Twitter) reacted with shock and outrage, with some accusing Finneas of queer-baiting. One user, @ipodbake, asked: “Are you doing queerbait now too?” while another user, @PopCrave, compared Finneas to his sister Billie Eilish, who has been open about his attraction to women.

Finneas’ sister Billie Eilish has been open about her attraction to women and some users are drawing comparisons between the two brothers. In a recent interview with Vogue, Eilish expressed her frustration and regret at talking about her sexuality, saying: “I would like no one to know anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life. Never, never, never.”

The incident has sparked a heated debate online, with some users defending Finneas and others accusing him of using the kiss as a publicity stunt. As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Finneas will respond to the allegations.
