Lily Allen Feared For Her Career
Lily Allen feared her career was over when the press focused more on her personal life than they did her singing.
The Smile singer — who has long defended her party lifestyle — has revealed how she came to realize she was “more a train wreck than a singer”.
Speaking about her 2006 debut album Alright, Still Allen said, “I took a bit of a beating from the press first time around. I became more famous for being a train wreck than a singer.
“I didn’t think I was capable of writing songs and making music.”
But Lily, 23, blasted accusations of being a “fall-down drunk,” an “exhibitionist” and “crazy”.
“Young women are represented in a way that isn’t true,” she said. “If a girl is seen having a drink she’s a drunk. If that happens with a guy it’s not portrayed the same way.”
