Lily Allen says her drinks may have been spiked
Lily Allen has apparently reneged on the apology she gave for her drunken behaviour at a recent awards show, claiming the drinks she consumed were “spiked”.
The Smile singer, 23, looked fresh-faced at the start of Tuesday’s Glamour Women of the Year Awards, but, by the end of the night, she was so inebriated she had to be carried to her car.
Writing on her MySpace.com blog the following day, Allen admitted she was “putting her hands up” to the fact she had been “very drunk”, and concluded her entry by urging fans to “drink responsibly”.
But speaking to British newspaper columnist Janet Street Porter on Thursday, the star insists her intoxicated state was unprecedented, and may have been caused by a substance other than alcohol.
She says, “Yeah, I don’t know what happened, maybe I was spiked. I don’t remember a thing. I can normally get really drunk, but not like that. The worrying thing was that I was like a dead weight. I have been out so many times and got drunk and never ended up like that.”
“What was worse was that the cab just drove off with only me in it. My brother and my mates were not with me. I didn’t have my house keys or my bag, so I felt totally vulnerable. When I finally got home I just passed out.”
