Lily Allen has never been shy about keeping things real. In a new Interview Magazine profile, the British singer revealed she secretly manages several fake Instagram accounts, including one posing as Charli XCX.
Inside Lily’s Secret Online World
Allen confessed that she runs about five “finstas,” a mix of burner accounts used for scrolling, commenting, and observing without public scrutiny. “Some are for spying, some are for posting,” she told the magazine, laughing. One of those accounts, she admitted, is a fake Charli XCX profile.
She explained that the anonymity lets her engage online without the constant pressure of being recognized. “Sometimes I get blocked when people find out it’s me,” she added.
Her admission pulled back the curtain on how celebrities navigate social media while protecting their sanity. Even for artists as outspoken as Allen, privacy online remains a balancing act.
Heartbreak and a Creative Rebirth
The conversation went beyond her social media habits. Allen also discussed the emotional foundation of her upcoming album, her first in seven years. She revealed that the project came together quickly, written in just ten days, during a turbulent period following a breakup.
“It was painful, but also freeing,” she said. “Heartbreak can push you to rediscover yourself. It’s not always a bad thing.”
The singer, known for hits like “Smile” and “The Fear,” described the writing process as a release rather than a return to form. For fans, it marks the beginning of a new chapter, one that blends her signature wit with hard-earned perspective.
Lily’s Unfiltered Era
Whether she’s talking about love, vaping, or her OnlyFans account, Allen remains unapologetically direct. Her candor about fake Instagrams fits that pattern, another reminder that she refuses to perform the kind of perfection often demanded of celebrities.
With the release of her new album, Allen seems poised for a creative resurgence grounded in honesty and humor. For someone who once made a career of saying what others wouldn’t, it’s clear she still hasn’t lost her bite, even if one of her burners happens to be Charli XCX.
