Last week, she delved into the murky world of OnlyFans by opening her own account.
And now Lily Allen has defended her decision to sell pictures of her feet online, saying it is “empowering” after years of being “sexualised” by people from a “very young age”.
The 39-year-old pop star, who is happily married to Stranger Things actor David Harbour, started the account after being told her feet were “reviewed highly” online.
She said the account, which costs just £8 a month to subscribe to, is for a “select group of enthusiasts” who ask her for personalised photos of her “spreading” her toes.
“I actually find this very empowering,” she said on the latest episode of her podcast Miss Me?.
Last week, Lily Allen delved into the murky world of OnlyFans by opening her own account. And now, Lily Allen has defended her decision to sell photos of her feet online.
She has said she feels “empowered” after years of being “sexualized” by people from a “very young age.”
Ms Allen, mother of daughters Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, from her marriage to Sam Cooper, said her husband Harbour thinks her new business venture is “cool” (seen together)
“I’ve been very sexualized from a very young age, and literally everyone else in the process benefits from that sexualization, so it’s really fun to have the power and control over something I find so silly.”
While OnlyFans is primarily used by people selling adult and X-rated content to subscribers, Allen said she doesn’t consider what she does to be “sexual.”
She said: “I don’t feel like it’s sexual; how it’s received is a completely different thing.”
While she doesn’t consider feet to be “kinky,” she said there is something “slightly perverse” about the “power element” of the transactions.
Ms Allen, mother of daughters Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, from her marriage to Sam Cooper, said her husband Harbour thinks her new business venture is “excellent”.
“He thinks it’s great. He wasn’t really excited at first, but he was like, ‘Does this appeal to you?'” she said.
“And I said, ‘No, it’s not a perversion at all.’ But maybe there’s something about the power element that’s a little bit perverse for me.”
He added: “I’m having my day in the sun.”
She said the account, which costs just £8 a month to subscribe to, is for a “select group of enthusiasts” who ask her for personalised photos of her “spreading” her toes.
A subscription to their site costs just £8/$10 per month.
Ms Allen, who captioned one of the photos “Sole Entrepreneur” and another “La Dolce Feeta”, said she has “strict rules” about what she will and won’t do when it comes to requests.
“My parents are very happy with the content I offer them. It’s just feet – I have very strict rules,” she said.
‘All these guys are DMing me saying they want custom content and asking me for all kinds of crazy stuff and I get a kick out of just saying, ‘Feet only.’
‘We can talk about what I can do with those feet as long as it doesn’t involve other body parts.
“Toe spacing is a big deal. They really want to see me spread my toes, and it looks like I have them spread just right.”
Although it is not known how many subscribers it has, the account has garnered more than 700 likes since it was launched a week ago.
“I have a lady who comes and does my nails and she informed me that I have five stars on Wikifeet, which is pretty rare,” Allen said on her podcast last week.
“But yes, my feet are highly rated on the Internet.”
Ms Allen explained that Wikifeet is “a Wikipedia for famous people’s feet” and that her nail technician thought she “could make a lot of money selling foot content on OnlyFans”.
She added: “I say, ‘no, no.'”
Sharing the news that she had officially launched her Only Fans on her Instagram Story, Lily posted the link to her page along with a photo of her painted toes.
She wrote: ‘She did it’ alongside a laughing emoji, before joking: ‘What will this do to my algorithm?’
Referring to her chat with Miquita on the podcast, she added: “If you don’t listen to the #missme podcast on @bbcsounds… this whole post is going to look really weird.”
Lily, who primarily resides in Brooklyn, New York, married David, 49, in 2020 in a ceremony in Las Vegas.

“I actually find this very empowering,” she said on the latest episode of her podcast Miss Me?
She has been teetotal for five years and has admitted that her life has “changed a lot” after giving up alcohol completely.
Speaking on her new podcast, she recently admitted she had never “had sex or been drunk” before meeting American actor Harbour.
“I wonder if I shame my husband for his sex. He often asks me for things and I’m like, ‘No, honey. It’s not going to happen,'” she said of her sex life.
“It’s not like, ‘You’re a piece of shit! How dare you ask me to do that? ‘ I’m just like, ‘I have a headache, a little headache. I have a little headache, maybe not tonight.'”
