The government and anti drug officials have slammed the singer after her pro-drug comments in a recent interview with The World Magazine.
Lily says, 'The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you - you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a dealer. But that's not true. I know lots of people who take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work. But we never hear that side of the story. I wish people wouldn’t sensationalise it. Some people are just bad at taking drugs.'
The British bad girl also admitted that taking drugs is a lesson in itself, 'I felt like a lonely child, when everybody else was doing it and I wasn’t. That’s why I took cocaine when I didn’t even like it.' Adding, 'I was brought up in a Catholic school and they told me gays, adultery and drugs were bad. All my mum’s friends were gay, my dad was having affairs and there were drugs in the house when I was a kid, so it was a bit cruel.'
The UK's Shadow Home Secretary said her remarks were stupid and dangerous, 'There is no doubt that drugs fuel crime and wreck lives. It's naive to assume there isn't human misery and suffering associated with every drug transaction somewhere along the line,'
Since the tabloid uproar Lily's representative has said that the press forgot to include the original interview in which Lily says, 'But I get very anxious around people who are on drugs, because it reminds me of being a kid. I can spot the signs of people being a bit gakked up very quickly. It terrifies me. That's why I took cocaine when I didn't even like it.'
They also released the following statement, 'At no point [during the Word interview] does [Lily] say that drugs are a good thing or that she condones drug use. In fact, she says that 'I can spot the signs (of people on drugs) and it terrifies me' … Lily Allen would like to state unequivocally that she does not condone illegal drug use and has every sympathy with individuals and families whose lives have been blighted by drugs.'
And there you have it!
