Lily Allen updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Friday (October 17), sharing her views on the press coverage surrounding Madonna and Guy Ritchie after it was announced they were divorcing after a 7 1/2 year marriage. The British singer songwriter tells readers:
So I’m reading the papers today, and I couldn’t help but wonder… Why the press haven’t gone on the attack at Guy Ritchie for walking away with 150 million quids of Madonnas. When only recently we saw a very different story with Heather Mills. Like you, I know nothing of the ins an outs of either party’s negotiations, but then neither do the press really. I just find it weird how it can be one rule for one person and another for another. Thoughts?
As Lily Allen, said, she doesn’t know anything about either party, neither does the press. All she is saying, is why can’t Guy Richie, walk away with some money, like Heather Mills. It may have been reported, or made up by the press, that he doesn’t want anything, but he could also be trying to keep this a personal matter. These are just her thoughts that’s all.
It’s really nothing to do, with Guy Ritchie, Madonna, or Heather Mills, and everything to do with how people are viewed by the press! It’s not me it’s you.. come on like the press doesn’t get that, give us a break! the media and the press need to stop crying, and blaming it on Lily Allen, she didn’t start the war!
