Lily Allen has shared that she has been harassed during her career, suggesting that she's taken legal action against the alleged perpetrator.
Appearing on James O'Brien's Unfiltered podcast, the singer touched on the sexual misconduct allegations surrounding Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein and the resulting #MeToo movement that followed.
"I've been harassed, actually I can't talk too much about it for legal reasons but I'm in the process of dealing with something," Allen said.
"What I've found quite interesting is people suggesting that there's something to be gained from these situations. All that most women want is just to offload it, to be like 'You know what? I don't want to carry this around with me anymore', cause it doesn't go away."
As Allen mention's in the interview, her mother and aunt both worked with Weinstein and have experienced first hand his alleged harassment.
"Suddenly, this Harvey Weinstein thing happened and it's like 'Thank fuck, I can fucking get this assholes name out of my head'. I don't want money if it was about that I would sue you in a civil court and attach a non-disclosure agreement. That's not what I want."
Allen is preparing to release her upcoming fourth solo album, No Shame, which is slated for release June 8. It'll be the artist's first album in four years following on from 2014's Sheezus.
