Lily Allen Apologizes to Katy Perry for Space Trip Criticism: ‘It Was Internalized Misogyny’
Lily Allen apologized for criticizing Katy Perry's Blue Origin space trip, blaming her comments about the controversial trip on internalized misogyny.
The backlash reached such a point that even the fast food chain Wendy’s publicly asked, “Can we send her back?” They later claimed to respect the singer, but refused to apologize. On her podcast Miss Me?, Allen criticized the Blue Origin flight occupants for framing it as “some sort of feminist thing.” The capsule was occupied by Perry, Gayle King, journalist (and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée) Lauren Sánchez, sexual assault survivor advocate and Nobel nominee Amanda Nguyễn, film producer and documentarian Kerianne Flynn, and former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe. “We’re on the brink of recession, people are really fucking struggling to make ends meet and get food on their table,” she said, calling out the “terrible timing” of the media-dominating trip.
