A cheeky California law firm has offered to help evict Billie Eilish on behalf of the Native American tribe who owns the land under the singer’s multi-million dollar Los Angeles mansion, after the pop star’s self-righteous rant at the Grammys backfired.
Los Angeles-based Sinai Law Firm — touting itself as the premier eviction firm in the county — quipped that it would represent the Tongva tribe pro bono, following the 24-year-old’s claim that “no one is illegal on stolen land” during her acceptance speech Sunday.
“Sinai Law Firm is offering to evict Billie Eilish from her Los Angeles home on a pro bono basis on behalf of the Tongva Tribe,” the firm said in a press release Tuesday.
The owner of the firm told The Post that the offer was tongue-in-cheek — but highlights the “Bad Guy” singer’s hypocrisy.
“Obviously, the post was satirical, but I do think the use of language of ‘stolen land’ is often used to silence valid political debate,” principal attorney Avi Sinai told The Post, adding that he had not heard from Eilish’s reps.
“And it’s incredibly hypocritical of Hollywood elites to preach from their gated and guarded property,” he said.
The Tongva tribe, whose ancestral lands include the Los Angeles Basin and the Channel Islands, previously said in the wake of Eilish’s outburst that the pop star hadn’t reached out to them about returning her $3 million home.
“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 tribal spokesperson said Monday.
“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 added.
Eilish was also mocked for her virtue signaling after she used her platform at Sunday’s glitzy awards ceremony to declare, “F–k ICE.”
