Billie Eilish's Mom Rejects 'Nepo Baby' Accusations

Maggie Baird, the mother of the mega-successful singer-songwriter, spent years as a working actor, as some people on social media have recently discovered.

Billie Eilish’s mom thinks the “nepo baby” discourse surrounding her daughter is “hilarious.”

Maggie Baird sat down with Glamour for a story about the mothers behind some of “the world’s biggest superstars,” and spoke about how she’s been accused on social media of raising a “nepo baby” simply because she herself has had an acting career.

The chatter went viral when Baird’s cameo in a 1999 episode of “Friends” resurfaced.

“I think it’s hilarious,” Baird, 65, told Glamour in the article, published Thursday. “Because that came out, and it was like, ‘Oh, Billie is a nepo baby.’ And I’m like, ‘Did you know that I got that episode of Friends because I was about to lose my health insurance?’”

“My husband and I are working class actors,” Baird continued. “We eked out a meager living, and it afforded us a lot of time with our kids, which was awesome. But the industry is primarily people like us or even people not even like us who couldn’t even do that.”
