Lily Allen is no stranger to making controversial statements, but WOW this one is a doozy…
The F**k You singer made the surprising admission during Tuesday’s episode of her and BFF Miquita Oliver’s Miss Me? podcast. While discussing her wild, much-scrutinized younger years, Lily revealed she’d “get pregnant all the time.” And so she got multiple abortions.

She wasn’t exactly taking the subject seriously. Singing to the tune of Frank Sinatra’s My Way, Lily admitted:
“Abortions, I’ve had a few, but then again, I can’t remember exactly how many.”
She went on to reveal in a more serious tone:
“I think maybe like, I want to say four or five.”
Well, that’s fewer than we thought when she said she couldn’t remember. But wow. Miquita was shocked to hear this news — but quickly informed her friend she’s “had about five, too.” The podcast co-host added:
“Lily, I’m so happy I can say that and you can say it and no one came to shoot us down, no judgment. We’ve had about the same amount of abortions.”
It wasn’t that Lily didn’t want kids — just that she wasn’t ready then. The pop star did go on to have two daughters Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, with her ex-husband Sam Cooper.
But at that early age? She was NOT ready to be a parent. And she proved it with a story reflecting on one abortion experience in particular:
“I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion, and me thinking it was so romantic.”
But now in retrospect, she doesn’t think it was “generous or romantic.” Especially because afterwards, the dude ghosted her! Lily joked:
“Fair [to be honest], I was a f**king crazy bitch, still am.”
