According to an interview in Grazia magazine, Lily Allen's half-sister Sarah Owen says Lily Allen tried to kill herself when she was 18 by slashing her wrists. Sarah says that after the attempt, Lily was sent to a rehab clinic for four weeks. Is that the right thing to do after a suicide attempt? I mean if you are addicted to drugs and try and kill yourself, is rehab the place to go? I don't know the answer, I'm just asking.
Anyway, Sarah says Lily tried to kill herself because Lily's boyfriend broke up with her. According to Sarah, she said that Lily really didn't have any friends growing up and that Sarah and Lily didn't really get along. My guess is that relationship is really not going to mend itself after this little revelation. I doubt Sarah is going to be able to call up Lily and ask for a few bucks when she probably made some by selling this story.
Because Lily didn't have any friends, Sarah says that Lily became a trouble maker and did anything she could to get attention and because of the trouble she caused, ended up going to 13 different schools. Wow. Can you imagine 13 different schools? I know people who have changed almost every year, but to get 13 schools that means more than one change per year sometimes. She did cause some trouble. I think I read also this morning that she may be causing trouble again because she broke her no booze in public pledge. I think it might because that married guy she was dating broke up with her. I think she had given up the booze in public for him and now that he's gone so is the pledge.
What a nice sister she has.
ReplyDeleteWow, 13 schools? I didn't even make it through one!
ReplyDeleteI must have dropped out before the "I have no friends/slash your wrist" day.

ReplyDeleteAll the way.
Next: Lily tries to kill her sister.
ReplyDeletelmao@david d!
ReplyDeleteyeah, if you tried to kill yourself and you're on drugs, rehab is probably a great place to be. they do have shrinks there, remember.
What is the purpose of bringing something from the past to now time?
ReplyDeleteon a brighter note: she's been looking great lately!
ReplyDeleteand thats all that matters!
That whole family situation seems pretty messed up, to be honest.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I've no sympathy for either and I'm sick to death of Lily being fêted as your standard Londoner. She's not and if you were ever asked to leave a school, you'd be hard pressed to find another that'd accept you, at least in non fee-paying schools, never mind 13.
First Tara, now Lily. Ladies, if you're willing to give up the booze for the sake of a guy, you damned well should be willing to give it up for yourself! You deserve to be healthy!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise that Lily Allen was so well known in the US. I thought it was just us Brits that had to put up with her
ReplyDeletemiss_p, as long as bloggers are writing about her, we have to put up with her, too.
ReplyDeleteReputable drug treatment centers do deal with the psychological issues for why people use drugs, including depression and self esteem issues. I can see that being a good fit for someone recovering from a suicide. As for the bit about the married man breaking up with her, do I smell a blind reveal there?
ReplyDeletei don't know about the US but in Canada you automatically go to the psych ward for 3 weeks min for evaluation and then on to rehab if drugs are involved.
ReplyDeletegod i'm glad i don't have an attention whore for a sister.
They sent my ass straight from the ER to the loonie ward.
ReplyDeleteDidn't get a choice as to *where* I was sent.
All better now though! Of course that was 25 years ago.
Cassie- if you read this..please know it's never the answer and i hope you work out whatever you need to.
