Electric Picnic headliner Billie Eilish has strongly criticised a magazine which photo-shopped her face to transform her into bald topless cyborg, saying she is particularly angry that her image has been sexualsed.
The US singer, who has rocketed to stardom in recent months and who headlines Electric Picnic on Friday night, says she did not consent to the latest cover of German publication Nylon.
The magazine digitally manipulated a photo of the singer to turn her into a bald, apparently topless robot, according to reports.
Nylon then shared the image on Instagram, calling it "the supernatural fembot face of the future" and tagged 17-year-old Eilish in the post.
Writing in the comments section, an angry Eilish said, "youre gonna make a picture of me shirtless?? thats not real?? at 17? and make it the cover???? even if the picture was supposed to look like some robot version of me... i did not consent in any way."
Nylon magazine defended the cover as "a piece of 3D artwork", which was designed as a compliment to the teen singer but it has since removed the image.
Eilish has previously said she wears baggy clothes in order to stop people from sexualising her or commenting on her body.
