Lily Allen has dipped her toe back into selling feet pictures on OnlyFans, hinting that it will help finance her musical comeback, after leaving an upscale trauma centre in the wake of her separation from husband David Harbour.
The singer, 39, shocked her fans when she launched an account on to the adult subscription site to sell pictures and videos of her feet in July last year – under the title ‘Lily Allen FTSE500’.
For £8 a month, her subscribers gained access to a variety of images of the star’s posed-up toes, with her posting frequently up until the end of September.
But this month, Lily returned to the platform and teased new content was on its way, suggesting it would help fund her musical comeback.
She took to her Instagram on Thursday to share a photo of her sporting a pair of headphones and writing in a notebook, suggesting she was coming up with new lyrics and melodies.
And combining her musical talents with her racy side business, she shared a video of her expertly strumming a guitar with her bare toes.
Captioning the new post, the actress teased: ‘FTSE500 drop later today’.
Lily first set up her OnlyFans after being told she could ‘make a lot of money selling foot content’ after discovering her feet had been ‘rated quite highly on the internet’ by her pedicurist.
She later revealed that the content has caused her bank account to skyrocket, confessing that her bizarre side hustle brings in way more cash than her pop career does despite having over eight million monthly listeners on Spotify.
Hitting back at a troll blasting her decision to join OnlyFans, Lily insisted fans shouldn’t ‘hate the player’ as she admitted that her toes fund her lavish lifestyle.
The troll had commented on X: ‘Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this.’
But Lily hit back: ‘Imagine being an artist and having nearly eight million monthly listeners on Spotify but earning more money from having 1,000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.’
While she has also said she finds selling feet pictures ’empowering’ after years of being ‘sexualized’ by people from a ‘very young age.’
Speaking on her BBC Sounds podcast, Miss Me?, she said: ‘I’m finding this actually quite empowering because having been very sexualised from an early age and literally everybody else in the process profiting from that sexualisation.
‘It’s actually really fun to be in power and in control of something that I find so silly.’
Lily concluded by jesting that not everybody has ‘got the arch or the spread’.
While she first hinted at her return to making music last week, as she took to Instagram to reveal she was currently working on an unspecified project with singer, songwriter and producer Chloe Angelides.
The photos captured the pair hard at work, with both wearing headphones while Lily writes potential lyrics in a large notebook.
A keyboard, guitars and a microphone stand are pictured in front of a soundproofed wall, while an array of wires and leads are strewn across the floor.
Captioning the post, the mother-of-two wrote: ‘Working late…’
Lily has not released an album or single in seven years, since her fourth studio album No Shame in 2018, opting instead to develop a successful stage career in London’s West End and launch the podcast.
Possible collaborator Chloe began working in the music industry more than a decade ago and has produced records for the likes of Jessie J, Jason Derulo, Selena Gomez and Katy Perry.
It comes after Lily called time on her marriage to Stranger Things star David in December after discovering he was using the celebrity dating app Raya.
It was reported last month that she had checked herself into a trauma centre after telling friends she was close to a nervous breakdown following her marriage breakdown.
She was expected to take part in intensive group counselling sessions and one-on-one therapy during her stay at the US based, £8,000 per week clinic.
Lily defended her decision to check into a trauma centre, away from her daughters, admitting it was ‘getting harder to be there’ for her kids’.
She shares two daughters Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 11, with her ex-husband Sam Cooper.
In her first podcast episode back after her stint in the centre, she admitted she didn’t want her children to ‘have to prop her up’ as she battled ’emotional turmoil’ following her split from David.
After struggling on her return to the US, Lily announced that she would be taking some time off from her podcast.
She revealed: ‘People think I hate my children. I really don’t. I absolutely adore my children and I’m in a situation now where I really have to be my strongest self for them.
‘I felt like it was getting harder and harder for me to be able to show up for them in the way that they need me to.
‘It was a big decision to have to leave them for a few weeks to go and focus on myself but ultimately it was for them so that I can get us through this bit. I needed some help to be able to do that.’
She continued: ‘I don’t want them to ever feel like they have to prop me up. None of this is their fault and it’s my job to support them and make them feel safe and secure, and I just don’t think I was able to do that because of the emotional turmoil that I was in at the time.
‘But I do feel like I am now. I’m not saying that I’m 100% there or getting it 100% right or that I ever will but I’m definitely in a stronger place.’
Lily has previously detailed the months of agony she has been through while suffering from panic attacks and a lack of focus, ahead of checking into the clinic.
She explained how she had tried to attend her podcast’s Christmas lunch but was forced to leave after having an attack.
She told podcast listeners: ‘I know I’ve been talking about it for months but I’ve been spiralling and spiralling. It’s got out of control, I’ve tried.
‘I came to the Miss Me? Christmas lunch and had a panic attack and had to go home and I went to see something at the theatre the other night with my friends Carla and Claire and I had to leave at half time.
‘I can’t concentrate on anything except the pain I’m going through. It’s really hard.’
When asked if it was easier now her daughters are older, she said: ‘Yeah, we are a support network for each other and encourage each other to talk about or feelings, but I think the main thing is telling them we’re going to get through it and be fine.’
