Lily Allen admits to impersonating Charli xcx on fake Instagram
Lily Allen has confessed to having fake Instagram accounts - including one impersonating the Von Dutch hitmaker.
Lily Allen has confessed to impersonating fellow pop star Charli xcx on a fake Instagram account.
The Smile hitmaker is constantly setting up "Finstas" to "spy" on people, but they keep getting shut down.
In a wide-ranging interview with Interview magazine, she spilled: “I have about five [fake Instagram accounts]. One’s a fake Charli xcx account.
"But then I get found out, and then I get blocked, and then I have to start a new one.”
Last year, Lily - who has been in the headlines over her explosive album West End Girl - became an OnlyFans foot model and has revealed the kind of content her clients on the adult platform demand from her.
She said: "They want dirty soles, white socks, like schoolgirl socks or ankle socks, some clean, some dirty. White socks in Mary Jane shoes. Stepping in food. Toe spreading, because that’s what happens when you’re climaxing."
As for the discourse around West End Girl, she insists it's not a "revenge album" about ex-husband David Harbour.
The 40-year-old singer tied the knot with David, 50, in 2020, but their breakup was confirmed in February after four years of marriage.
The recently released 14-track record - which is "a mixture of fact and fiction" - explores themes of cheating, gaslighting, open relationships, and sex addiction.
Asked to clarify if it's a "revenge album" after the breakdown of her marriage to the Stranger Things actor, she replied: “It isn’t.
“I mean, I wrote this record in 10 days in December and I feel very differently about the whole situation now.
“We all go through breakups and it’s always fucking brutal. But I don’t think it’s that often that you feel inclined to write about it while you’re in it.”
Lily continued: “That’s what’s fun about this record; it’s viscerally like going through the motions. At the time [of recording it], I was really trying to process things and that’s great in terms of the album, but I don’t feel confused or angry now. I don’t need revenge.”
Reviewers have hailed the album "vicious", but Allen is adamant: “It’s not a cruel album. I don’t feel like I’m being mean. It was just the feelings I was processing at the time.”
Asked if penning the lyrics helped heal her heartbreak, she responded: “I checked into a treatment centre six weeks afterwards. That got me out of the funk.”
