Lily Allen’s shocking confession exposed.
In a podcast episode packed with confessions, Lily Allen hinted at a part of her past that’s rarely discussed—and almost never this openly.
Lily Allen’s journey highlighted.
Allen has never been a stranger to speaking out—whether it was about drugs, divorce, or depression.
She shot to stardom in 2006 with her breakout hit “Smile,” but behind the scenes, things were far from cheerful.
In her twenties, Allen was the poster child for British pop star dysfunction—partying hard, living loud, and breaking all the rules.
She shares two daughters—Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 11—with ex-husband Sam Cooper, whom she married in 2011.
The couple split in 2016, ending what was arguably the most stable period of her young adult life.
She later married Stranger Things actor David Harbour in 2020. But the romance fizzled quietly by 2023.
Lily Allen’s candid admission revealed.
It started as a conversation about contraceptives, but Allen quickly took it to a much deeper—and darker—place.
“I just remember I have an IUD now,” she told her co-host, Miquita Oliver. “I think I’m on my third, maybe fourth.”
“Before that, it was a complete disaster area. I’d get pregnant all the time, all the time,” Allen said, shaking her head at the memory.
Miquita, caught off guard, asked: “Have you ever had an abortion?” The pause that followed wasn’t silence—it was a setup.
Lily didn’t just say it—she sang it. “Abortions, I’ve had a few… but then again… I can’t remember exactly how many,” she crooned to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.”
Laughing but serious, she added: “I can’t remember. I think maybe like, I want to say four or five.”
To Lily’s surprise, Miquita admitted she’s had “about five” abortions too. “I’ve never… I’m so happy I can say that, and you can say it, and no one came to shoot us down.”
With no shame and zero apologies, the women said out loud what many only whisper: “We’ve had about the same amount of abortions.”
Allen reflected on one time a boyfriend paid for her abortion. “I remember thinking it was romantic,” she said, almost in disbelief.
Her candidness didn’t stop there: “As a young woman starting your contraceptive journey… it meant that I was having s**.”
For years, though, she hid it. “I felt really embarrassed to even say that I had more than one abortion. Why the f**k should I be ashamed?”
Lily Allen’s current stance confirmed.
Today’s Lily is radically different. After years of battling addiction, she’s been clean for nearly half a decade.
On the podcast, she made it clear: she’s not here to be polite. “I have had a few [abortions],” she said. “So what?”
Allen took aim at how abortion is often framed: “I’ve seen memes like, ‘My aunt had a kid with a disability,’ or ‘it was going to kill her.’ Like, shut up.”
Her stance was direct: “Just: ‘I don’t want a f***ing baby right now.’ Literally: ‘Don’t want a baby’ is enough reason.”
In years past, Allen may have masked that kind of honesty with jokes or sarcasm. Not anymore.
With reproductive rights under fire globally, Allen’s unfiltered story lands at a particularly tense cultural moment.
Reactions to Lily’s admission unveiled.
The clip went viral almost immediately, sparking praise, outrage, and everything in between.
While some hailed her bravery, others criticized the tone—especially the Sinatra bit. But either way, people were listening.
Fans flooded comment sections with thanks. “Thank you for making it normal,” one wrote. “We’ve been too quiet for too long.”
For women who’ve gone through similar experiences, Allen’s candor felt like a kind of permission.
“I used to feel so embarrassed,” she repeated. “Now? Not anymore.”
And just like that, Lily changed the conversation.
Lily Allen’s past might be messy—but it’s hers. And now, she’s taking ownership of it with both hands.
What started as a chat about contraception ended with a cultural grenade: “I don’t remember how many abortions I’ve had.”
Whether you love her or loathe her, one thing is clear: Lily Allen’s not afraid to say what others won’t—and the world’s paying attention.
