Lily Allen was bombarded with “death threats” and online abuse after she confessed to sending her rescue dog back to the animal shelter. The 39-year-old pop star opened up about her troubles with former pet pooch Mary - who was adopted from an animal sanctuary in New York in 2021 - in an episode of her Miss Me? podcast, revealing she got rid of the dog after it chewed her family’s passports and “ruined” her life, and she’s now revealed the confession led to an outpouring of hate on social media. In a post on social media platform X, she wrote: “I’ve received some really abhorrent messages, including death threats, some of the most disgusting comments have been all over my social media channels .
.. I’m okay, but it has been a really tough few days that [have] impacted me and my family.
” Allen went on to insist she tried her best to take care of Mary but she couldn’t be left alone and the family decided their situation wasn’t “best fit” for her. She added: “We rescued our puppy Mary from a shelter in NY and we loved her very much, BUT she developed pretty severe separation anxiety and would act out in all manner of ways.”.
