Billie Eilish mocked for hosting brother Finneas…
Billie Eilish is being mocked for officiating her brother’s wedding ceremony on what she could refer to as “stolen land.”
The singer, 24, hosted 29-year-old Finneas O’Connell’s marriage to longtime girlfriend Claudia Sulewski, 30, at the luxurious San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif. Saturday.
But social media customers had been fast to level out the service befell on a area that once belonged to Native Americans.
Eilish caught heat at the Grammys in February after claiming “no one is illegal on stolen land” during an anti-ICE tirade.

One individual wrote on X: “Was this on stolen land?” Another posted: “She is on stolen land.” Another added: “On stolen land no less.”
The Chumash traditionally inhabited a huge swath of California’s Central and Southern coasts, including the San Ysidro Ranch space.
The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians says Chumash territory once lined roughly 7,000 sq. miles, stretching from Malibu to Paso Robles and inland to the western edge of the San Joaquin Valley.
Historical documentation for the Montecito space also identifies it as Chumash territory before European settlement.

Spanish colonization of the Santa Barbara space started in the late 18th century, with the Santa Barbara Presidio established in 1782 and Mission Santa Barbara based in 1786.
San Ysidro Ranch itself says Franciscan monks gave the property its title in the late 1700s after Saint Isidore, the patron saint of agriculture.
Mission padres constructed the property’s Old Adobe in 1825 and farmed the land, according to the Santa Barbara Independent.
The property later developed into the San Ysidro Citrus Ranch. A sandstone packing home was constructed in 1889, and plans for a small resort had been drawn up a number of years later.
That resort opened in 1893 and finally grew to become a hideaway for some of the world’s most well-known names: Sir Winston Churchill stayed there with his household, while Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier married at the ranch. Additionally, John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy honeymooned there, and one of its cottages is now named the Kennedy Cottage.

Beanie Babies billionaire Ty Warner bought the property in 2000 and later poured about $150 million into renovating it, according to Architectural Digest.
O’Connell and Sulewski’s wedding ceremony added another movie star chapter to the ranch’s historical past.
The pair met through a courting app in 2018, according to People, and O’Connell said he was so taken with Sulewski that he started writing his music “Claudia” the same day they met. They purchased a home together the next 12 months and grew to become engaged in September 2025 after seven years of courting.

Sulewski, an actress, YouTuber and founder of skincare model Cyklar, wore 4 customized Oscar de la Renta seems to be during the marriage weekend.
The celebrity-filled visitor listing reportedly included Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, Nina Dobrev, Emma Chamberlain, Jason Sudeikis and Rachel Sennott. Eilish attended with boyfriend Nat Wolff.
During her dramatic acceptance speech for her and O’Connell’s Grammy for Song of the Year for “WILDFLOWER” in February, Eilish said: “No one is illegal on stolen land. It’s hard to know what to say and what to do, but we need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting. Our voices really do matter.”
