Lily Allen Fires Back At Julie Burchill’s “Overprivileged Crybaby” Critique

Cheryl Cole got some understandable support from Julie Burchill in The Sun on Monday after ‘The X Factor’ sacking, but a rival of the Girls Aloud star took a broadside in the column and wasn’t happy about it. “I adore the way she spat back at that overprivileged crybaby Lily Allen when the public-school tool took a poke at her way back in the day,” Julie said about the ‘Smile’ singer who feuded with Cheryl in 2007. Allen responded to her Twitter followers (lilyroseallen):

Julie Birchill, you are an ignorant and bitter old troll, but I guess you know that already.

The amateur psychiatrist in me says see’s a lot of her younger self in me, and she’s a bit of a “self-loather”. #poorjulieburchill
