Lily Allen returns pet dog, internet backlash follows
In the latest interview, Lily Allen reminded everyone that she adopted a puppy during the pandemic and revealed that she eventually decided to return it. The singer claims that the dog "ruined her life." Internet users are outraged.
Lily Allen debuted in 2006, and her music career seemed exceptionally promising. The artist managed to launch several hits that are still heard on international radio stations. To the surprise of her loyal fans, Lily's fame faded quite quickly. The singer released her last album in 2018, just after getting divorced from Sam Cooper. She later ventured into acting, but it's hard to say she achieved greater success in this field. Today, Allen is mainly discussed in the context of her private life and public confessions, which are widely commented on the internet. Not long ago, the 39-year-old admitted, among other things, that "children ruined her career", and also surprised many with her unconventional parenting "advice."
Lily Allen got rid of her dog. "Ruined my life"
Recently, Allen made headlines again after sharing a surprising confession in a new episode of her podcast. The star revealed that she, her husband, and her two daughters were considering adopting a Chihuahua puppy. However, the attention of internet users focused on the pet that Lily and her beloved David Harbour adopted in 2021 and proudly showed off on a specially created Instagram profile... until now. The last photo of the dog was published in May 2021. What happened to the adorable Mery? The singer rushed to provide "explanations" that are sure to disappoint many.
The singer shared that they had already adopted a dog together, but after the dog chewed up her passport, she decided to return it. The dog ended up destroying all three of their passports and visas, causing a significant financial and logistical challenge, especially during the pandemic. This made it nearly impossible to arrange a meeting with her daughters' father, who lives in England, for several months. Frustrated, she recalled feeling that the dog had disrupted her life to such an extent that she couldn't even bear to look at it.
Internet users outraged by Lily Allen's attitude
Under the photos of the dog, which are still on Instagram, many critical comments about her former owner have appeared.
"Hey, Lily, I'm glad you returned this sweet little thing. I hope it found a good home with a responsible owner who understands that puppies, like children, will put everything in their mouths if given the chance. They are living beings, not robots," wrote one internet user.
"The question that needs to be asked is: Where were the passports that this puppy could so easily get and chew up?! The fault lies with the people, not the puppy," noted another Instagram user.
"You shouldn't be allowed to adopt another animal," reads a comment under the last post on Mery's profile.
