Lily Allen Makes Controversial Cocaine Comments
Published Wednesday, 7th January, 2009 at 11:22 AM
Lily Allen has caused controversy for comments she made relating to drugs in a recent interview.
"I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work every day, no problem at all," the Metro quotes the singer saying.
"But we never hear that side of the story. I have no statement to make, I just wish people wouldn't sensationalise this thing that just exists."
"The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you - you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a dealer. But that's not true."
The comments made by Lily have come under criticism, including Shadow Home Secretary Dominic Grieve who told the Daily Mail:
"There is no doubt that drugs fuel crime and wreck lives. It's naive to assume there isn't human misery and suffering associated with every drug transaction somewhere along the line."
Lily Allen releases her second album 'It's Not Me, It's You' on February 9.
