Lily Allen is under fire for returning her “badly behaved dog.”
The singer confessed to her “Miss Me?” podcast listeners Thursday that she took her puppy Mary back to an animal shelter.
“We actually did adopt a dog together already,” the 39-year-old said of herself and her husband, David Harbour, presumably speaking about their 2021 Animal Haven adoption. “But then it ate my passport, so I took it back to the home.”
Allen, who is the mother of daughters Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, with ex Sam Cooper, clarified, “She ate all three of our passports.
“They had our visas in [there], and I can’t tell you how much it cost to get everything replaced,” the songwriter explained. “It was in COVID, so it was just an absolute logistical nightmare.”
She noted, “The father of my children lives in England. I couldn’t get them back to see their dad for, like, four months [or] five months because this f–king dog had eaten the passports.”

Allen, who revealed Cooper would not let Harbour’s surname be used on the replacement documents, “couldn’t look at” the pooch who “ruined [her] life.”
The Grammy nominee added, “The passports weren’t the only thing she ate. She was a very badly behaved dog.”
Social media users labeled Allen “cold” and “evil” for returning her dog — and for “brag[ging]” about it to her listeners.
“Shame on you,” one X user wrote. “Dogs are NOT ‘badly behaved. They are ‘untrained’ by the humans that are responsible for them.”
Another called the pet “better off” away from Allen.
A third user agreed, writing, “On the bright side at least that poor pup won’t have to tolerate you any more.”
However, Allen said Wednesday that she is planning to adopt another dog whom her kids want to name Jude Bellingham.
A Chihuahua mix will join their family “in the next couple of weeks.”
Allen has previously makes headlines for candid podcast admissions, most recently claiming that “calculated” Beyoncé is “getting some help” to look youthful.
