An Australian activist has initiated a unique crowdfunding effort to fund his trip to the United States with the goal of moving into Billie Eilish’s $3 million mansion in Los Angeles, following her controversial comments at the Grammy Awards.
Drew Pavlou, a 24-year-old known for his political activism and influence on social media, criticized Eilish for what he perceived as performative activism during her anti-ICE remarks after securing the Song of the Year title at the 68th Grammy Awards.
“I’m heading to the USA next Friday with plans to reside in Billie Eilish’s Malibu beachfront estate,” Pavlou announced on X, while promoting a link to his now-inactive GoFundMe campaign. “No human is illegal on stolen land. Contribute to my travel and filming expenses here.”
Pavlou revealed that his initial fundraising effort, which managed to gather $3,000, was removed by the crowdfunding platform.
“GOFUNDME REMOVED MY BILLIE EILISH FUNDRAISER, THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND UNJUST,” Pavlou protested. “I will explore other options for raising funds.”
The campaign was taken down because GoFundMe stated they could not “verify your connection and plan to transfer the donations to the person you’re raising money for,” as per an email Pavlou shared.
He switched his tactics and started a new fundraiser on the GiveSendGo website, asking for roughly $2840 so he could fly to California and buy the “Birds of a Feather” singer’s $6 million Malibu home.
The beachfront property Pavlou was asking for was owned by Eilish’s brother, Finneas O’Connell, but was sold for $5.6 million back in 2022, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The mansion was destroyed during the deadly Palisades Fire, a development Pavlou was unaware of when he created the fundraiser.
“This is so f–king unfair because the Malibu beachside mansion was particularly funny,” Pavlou wrote, conceding he would use the funds to fly out to Eilish’s ritzy digs in Glendale.
The “WILDFLOWER” singer used her acceptance speech Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday to deliver the politically pointed message.
“As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything, but that no one is illegal on stolen land,” Eilish said from the stage of the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
“’F–k ICE’ is what I wanna say,” she concluded.
Pavlou was among the thousands who called out Eilish for her divisive comments.
“This is an extremely radical viewpoint. She’s essentially arguing that the United States of America should be abolished – that it is an illegitimate nation due to the sins of colonization. Remarkable to see the entire audience at the Grammys stand up to applaud in furious agreement,” he wrote.
“The center left is disintegrating before our eyes – the entire entertainment industry is apparently in thrall to extremely hardline communist views that call for the abolition of the United States of America.”
Eilish’s Los Angeles property sits on the ancestral land of the Tungva tribe, with officials from the indigenous inhabitants asking celebrities to mention the tribes by land if they are going to be virtue signaling to
“Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property, we do value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country,” a Tongva spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
“It is our hope that in future discussions, the tribe can explicitly be referenced to ensure the public understands that the greater Los Angeles Basin remains Gabrieleno Tongva territory,” the spokesperson said.
Incidentally, Billie Eilish was granted a restraining order in 2023 after she found a shirtless lurker standing outside her home.
Raymond Black was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from the “Bad Guy” singer and her house and to stop harassing her, a judge ruled.
