‘Cause you’re hot, then you’re cold.
Lily Allen has apologized for “being mean” to Katy Perry over her controversial Blue Origin space flight on April 14.
“I would actually like to apologize for being mean about Katy Perry last week,” Allen, 39, said on Sunday’s episode of her and Miquita Oliver’s “Miss Me?” podcast. “Oh, there was actually no need for me to bring her name into it, and it was my own internalized misogyny.”
Allen’s apology came after she criticized Perry, 40, and the five other women who took a suborbital flight on one of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rockets for 11 minutes earlier this month.
Besides the “Hot N Cold” singer, the all-female crew included Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez, CBS journalist Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, former NASA employee and civil rights advocate Amanda Nguyễn, and scientist Aisha Bowe.
Allen, during an episode of her and Oliver’s podcast that aired last week, slammed Perry in particular for what she called the “out-of-touch” space flight.
“Do we want to talk about Katy Perry and her mates all going up to space for 12 minutes?” the “Smile” singer said. “I mean, what the f–king hell is that all about? But in all seriousness: What? Why?”
“We’re on the brink of recession,” Allen continued, “people are really f–king struggling to make ends meet and get food on their table.”
However, Allen ultimately changed her tune about the “Firework” songbird’s trip to space after “thinking about it a lot.”
“I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and it was just completely unnecessary to pile on with her,” she continued on Sunday. “I mean, I disagree with what it was that they did, but she wasn’t the only person who did it. Yet, she was possibly the most famous and the one that, you know, divides people the most.”
“Well, anyway, I’m just sorry. I would have been hurt if it had been me and someone in my industry used me and my name,” Allen added before moving on. “And I saw that, and I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Katy Perry. I know you don’t listen to the show, but, yeah, sorry.”
Allen, before her apology over the weekend, was just one of the many celebrities to lambaste Perry and her fellow female crew members over the short Blue Origin NS-31 space mission on April 14.
Olivia Munn dubbed the historic trip “gluttonous,” while Amy Schumer and Olivia Wilde mocked the launch. Model and actress Emily Ratajkowski said the mission was “confusing” and “beyond parody.”
But celebrities weren’t the only ones less than impressed with the all-female crew’s star-studded space trip, because Perry was also slammed by the son of the 85-year-old veteran she’s suing for damages.
Carl Westcott’s son exclusively told The Post that he hoped the “Roar” singer’s experience would “make her more compassionate to elderly disabled veterans like my father.”
While Perry has not directly responded to the criticism surrounding her Blue Origin space flight, she appeared to offer a subtle dig at her critics during a concert in Mexico City on Wednesday, April 23.
“Has anyone ever called your dreams crazy?” she said during her newly launched, space-inspired Lifetimes Tour.
