LILY ALLEN - ALLEN: 'I LACKED TENDER LOVING CARE AS A CHILD'

London, England ....
British pop star LILY ALLEN blames not receiving "tender loving care" as a child for her outspoken nature,
The SMILE singer had to amuse herself while her actor father KEITH ALLEN and film producer mother ALISON OWEN were focused on their careers, but insists their absence boosted her emotional maturity.
She says, "I probably did lack the tender loving care that most kids get if their mum's at home all the time. I suppose, all I wanted was for someone to give me a big hug but that never really came.
"(But) I'm very happy with myself. If I hadn't had the upbringing I had, I wouldn't be the person I am, so I'm grateful. I feel like I've dealt with a lot of emotional s**t people don't deal with until their twenties or thirties and I am on my way of figuring out happiness."

What a blatant lair she Lily is.
I am the close friend of Keith Allen"s (other) child's mother.
Keith Allen has a child of colour, a bi-racial daughter whom his racist self
has abused for years. Lily has had all the privileges and love from both Keith
and Alison. She has been in the film Elisabeth which her mother Alison produced
with Gwyneth Paltrow, she goes to Glastonberry every year with Keith. You know
all you have to do is check back stories and tell the truth.
Lily will say anything like Keith to bring up her profile.
Keith has made his bi-racial child homeless, has refused to pay for her
education even though he put Lily, her brother Alfi and Alison's child by
another man Sarah through private school. But hey! they are all white. Yet I
know in England racism knows no bounds so you will not publish this email.
