Singer Billie Eilish is facing social media criticism after her brother Finneas O'Connell's wedding took place on property located on land historically claimed by Native American tribes. The ceremony was held at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California, an area the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians consider part of their ancestral territory.

This comes after Eilish made a statement at the Grammy Awards in February, stating, "no one is illegal on stolen land." Critics on platforms like X pointed to a perceived double standard, highlighting that the wedding venue is situated on land that the Chumash people have identified as part of their historic territory.

Some users questioned Eilish's past statements about wealth and capitalism in light of the lavish wedding. The singer has previously commented on the existence of billionaires and advocated for anti-capitalist sentiments, drawing further scrutiny from those who felt her actions were inconsistent with her expressed views.

The singer said at the Grammy Awards in LA this past February, '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'

At the Grammys, Eilish encouraged attendees to "keep fighting and speaking up and protesting," and concluded her remarks with "f*** ICE." Her statement followed protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Trump administration, which included fatal shootings in Minneapolis.

Additionally, social media users noted that Eilish's own Los Angeles residence is situated on land considered ancestral territory by the Tongva tribe. A spokesperson for the Tongva tribe acknowledged Eilish's comments and stated that while they appreciate public figures raising awareness of the country's history, they have not been contacted directly by the singer regarding her property. The tribe expressed hope for future direct engagement and for their ancestral territory, the greater Los Angeles Basin, to be explicitly referenced.

Some users slammed Eilish for what they perceived to be a double standard

Finneas O'Connell, 29, and Claudia Sulewski, 30, were married in a ceremony attended by notable guests including Justin and Hailey Bieber, Jason Sudeikis, Kristen Bell, and Dax Shepard. The criticism directed at Eilish has centered on the perceived discrepancy between her public statements on land ownership and historical injustices, and the choice of venue for her brother's wedding.
