Lily Allen slammed the 'deliberately distorted' coverage of her story about returning her rescue dog after receiving backlash and death threats: 'It's just all so toxic.'
Entertainment WeeklyThe"Smile" singer explained in detail her side of things and called for people to stop sending her"really abhorrent messages including death threats" inpodcast, on which she originally discussed giving up the adopted pet. "We tried very hard and for a very long time," she said, "but the passports were the straw that broke the camel's back.
She continued in her statement, "This is the part of the podcast that the tabloids decided not to quote in their articles about me 'dumping my puppy.' People have been furiously reacting to a deliberately distorted cobbling together of quotes designed to make people angry and as a result, I've received some really abhorrent messages including death threats.
Allen discussed her plans to adopt a Chihuahua mix on Thursday's episode of the podcast, which led her to recall her debacle with a rescue she adopted during the pandemic."She ate all three of our passports, and they had our visas," Allen said. "And I cannot tell you how much money it cost me to get everything replaced because it was in COVID, and so it was just an absolute logistical nightmare.", while her daughters' father, Sam Cooper, lives in England.
"We rescued our puppy Mary from a shelter in NY and we loved her very much, but she developed pretty severe separation anxiety and would act out in all manner of ways," Allen wrote in her statement. "She couldn't be left alone for more than 10 mins. She had three long walks a day — two by us and one with a local dog walker and several other dogs. We worked with the shelter that we rescued her from and they referred us to a behavioral specialist and a professional trainer.
