Lily Allen ‘admits’ sleeping with female escorts

[Cwenthryth]

All over the papers when I was just at the garage right now. Statement is that she’s “not proud but not ashamed” and it was during “dark days” when she was “lost and lonely and looking for something” (oh well that makes it ok then!)

A quick google and comments online seem to mostly be dismissive of her as attention seeking (its in the papers because she’s published a book where she talks about it) or criticising that if it’s not ok for a man to buy sex then why is it for a woman (well.... it isn’t).

Munro’s Bergdorf has leapt to her defence on Twitter, claiming it’s about stigmatising sex workers (nope) and a gross invasion of privacy (nope - she’s published a book about it!).

Didn’t see a thread about it yet so thought I’d start one. I’m pretty surprised she seems to think this is an acceptable thing to publicise.

There is a thread already running, but in AIBU:

Assume dailymail we’re going to run the story so she confessed instead. Like Katherine Jenkins and her ‘cocaine’ shame.

Even in my darkest moments, I could never have paid someone to fuck me. I just cannot get turned on by the thought of having sex with someone that doesnt actually want me.

Yet so many others plainly do or we wouldn't have such an extensive industry built on abuse of power, exploitation etc. And it's a phenomenon that seems to run through history and society and be part of the overall social control structure.

Baffling.

Wow. What a hypocrit after all her feminist posturing.

But she is publishing it in her own book anyway - so it’s not going public against her will. Just perhaps slightly earlier than she planned, if you believe it’s not a staged leak.

Lily Allen is a talentless, loud-mouthed nobody who courts publicity all the time. I wish she'd shut up and fuck off

Thick, talentless, virtue-signalling self-publicist in ‘book to sell’ shocker....

She's broke and wants to make sure she sells copies of her new book.

It could all be completely made up. She'll do anything to get money and publicity.

Oh FFS
Of course for the peeps who are red hot keen on prostitution as a fantastic job for women and girls everywhere cos easy money and totes empowering
One woman having done this will be used as a counterbalance to every single man in the world who has paid to abuse a woman or a girl (or a boy or a man) anywhere in the world and for all of time.

Becasue apparently we only have an argument if ALL women behave impeccably all the time.

Just gross behaviour by LA same as any man who does this.

Why would you not just seek out a willing, consensual, non-oppressed woman?

That's what I don't understand.

Not edgy or non-SWERfFy enough, maybe? Lots of female celebs have had flings with women, so that in itself wouldn’t get her much attention. So she had to go a step further to perk up her flagging career. After all, no one’s reported anything on her really, since she decided to use the Grenfell tragedy to get herself some media attention.

So basically the headlines are 'read about lesbian sex'? And she's dressed it up with the prostituted women angle to create the headlines. And she's happy promotional g the happy hooked myth. And it'll be all -she was a tall blonde in a tight evening dress. It cost £2,000 an hour'. Because that's what prostituted womenot are like right?

And she so woke. Ffs. Fucking rapey dickhead.

Ugh. What a nasty piece of work she is.
And I totally agree that Lily Allen doing this is going to be used by dickheads to justify men doing the exact same to exploit women.

When someone makes a choice that harms women as a class, it is not a feminist choice. Normalising paid-for rape is not a feminist choice.

Agree completely bd67th

I won't be buying her stupid book. I've got better things to do with my time. I've just done some redecorating and the paint needs watching.

I'm in complete agreement with every post.

Bit telling how "yawn" we all are about Lilly's "clatty, look at me" antics, if she can't raise more than 20 comments here for her revelations.
