Lily Allen - Lily Allen Denies Nipple Publicity Stunt

Lily Allen has denied that a recent wardrobe malfunction which involved nipple flashing was a publicity stunt.

Tabloids happily printed pictures of the incident as the 23-year-old singer strolled about in a very loose top in the London sunshine.

But writing on her blog, Allen said she has been too busy with her new album and personal life to worry about seeking publicity.

"I would never use my body in that way, I'm just not that kind of girl," she said.

"I'm actually trying really hard to be out of the public eye, as I'm really proud of the work I've put into my album and I want people to appreciate the music.

"Yes, I enjoy attention and praise, that's why I went into this job. But don't accuse me of purposely slipping out of my clothes to get attention and press."

The Smile singer added that she hates being followed by "ten middle-aged men" wherever she goes, saying the paparazzi attention is "incredibly embarrassing".

"When you see pictures of 'Lily looking glum' or 'Lily in tears, again' it's not because I'm upset about my relationships or because I'm hungover," Allen said.

"It's because I'm on my own and people are pointing at me like an animal in the zoo, talking about me as if I'm not there, meanwhile ten to 20 guys are all making money catching every second of it."
