Lily Allen Apologises To Katy Perry For 'Mean' Comments About Her Divisive Space Voyage

Lily AllenLily Allen has made a public apology to Katy Perry after her comments about the I Kissed A Girl singer’s recent space voyage.In a recent episode of her podcast, Miss Me?, Lily and co-host Miquita Oliver discussed the news that Katy and five other women had taken an 11-minute flight into space.“What the hell was all that about?” the Brit Award winner said (per BBC News). “I mean, in all seriousness, what? Why? For why? “It’s so out of touch. Like, we’re on the brink of recession. People are really struggling to make ends meet and put food on their tables. And the fact that they’ve, like, made it like some sort of feminist thing...”Katy PerryHowever, in the latest instalment of Lily’s podcast, she walked back some of her comments, describing them as “mean” and putting her criticism down to “internalised misogyny”.“There was actually no need for me to bring [Katy’s] name into it, and it was my own internalised misogyny,” Lily told Miquita. “I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and it was just completely unnecessary to pile on with her.”The Smile singer continued: “I mean, I disagree with what it was that they did, but she wasn’t the only person that did it. She was possibly the most famous, and the one that divides people the most, and so there was something in me that decided to choose her [to talk about]. Well, anyway, I’m just sorry.”Katy was joined on her trip to space by American broadcaster Gayle King, movie producer Kerianne Flynn, journalist Lauren Sánchez (who is engaged to Jeff Bezos, the owner of the space travel company Blue Origin), activist Amanda Nguyễn and rocket scientist Aisha Bowe.Upon her return to Earth, Gayle King hit back at some of the criticisms levelled against herself and her teammates.READ MORE:David Harbour Speaks Out About Lily Allen Split For The First TimeLily Allen Opens Up About Her Unsuccessful Audition For The White LotusCorinne Bailey Rae Recalls Lily Allen's 'Campaign Against Me' During Early Years Of Their Careers
