Billie chose to respond to those who ridiculed her. “I spent the first five years of my career getting absolutely obliterated by you fools for being boyish and dressing how I did and I was always told I’d be hotter if I acted like a woman,” she claimed in an interview with CBS.

“I am able to be both.”
The singer has defended herself against critics on several occasions.
