Lily Allen has recently come under scrutiny for her decision to return her dog to an animal shelter. The singer revealed on her podcast that she had to take her puppy, Mary, back to the shelter after it chewed up her passport along with her husband's and children's. This incident caused significant inconvenience and financial strain as they had to replace the documents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Allen explained that the dog's actions prevented her children from visiting their father in England for several months. She expressed frustration over the situation, stating that the dog's behavior had a negative impact on her family's life. Despite her efforts to address the issue, including not being able to use her husband's surname on the replacement documents, Allen ultimately decided to return the dog.
Following her announcement, social media users criticized Allen for her actions, with some labeling her as 'cold' and 'evil.' Others expressed concern for the well-being of the dog and suggested that it was better off away from Allen's care.
Despite the backlash, Allen shared that she plans to adopt another dog in the near future. Her children are eager to welcome a new Chihuahua mix named Jude Bellingham into their family. Allen's candid podcast admissions have garnered attention in the past, including recent comments about Beyoncé's appearance.
