Kary Perry bears the brunt after flying

Lily Allen apologized to Katy Perry for her "meaning" when she joined the recent backlash for taking American singers in space flight.

"In fact, I don't need to bring her name into it, it's my own inner disgust," Allen said on the BBC podcast.

"I've been thinking about a lot of things and it's totally unnecessary to be with her. I mean, I don't agree with what they do, but she's not the only one who does that."

The British pop star and actress is one of many high-profile critics of Blue Origin Flight, briefly brought Perry and five other women to the edge of space two weeks ago.

Allen continued: “She is probably the most famous person and the most divided person, so there is something inside me that decides to choose her as the person who should be (picked out).

"Well, I'm just sorry anyway. If it were me, someone in my industry who used me and my name, I would be hurt, I saw it, sorry."

Lily Allen says flight is "so far away"

Allen's apology comes after she discussed "Katy Perry and her companions both went over for 12 minutes" in the previous episode.

"I mean,...what the hell?" Allen said. "I mean, serious, what? Why? Why?

"It's so disconnected. Like, we're on the verge of a recession. People are really … trying to make ends meet and put food on the table."

She added: "And they have made it like some kind of feminist…"

The flight was on a rocket designed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's company, Blue Origin, marking the first all-female mission since 1963.

"This is an important moment for commercial space travel and the future of humanity as a whole and women around you," Perry said in advance.

Bezos' fiancé Lauren Sánchez, TV host Gayle King, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn were also on board.

But Perry had the brunt of ridicule, singing Louis Armstrong's What Who What Who, and holding the entire list on the new camera on the camera.

The fast food chain Wendy posted on social media “We can send her back” and then added a few days later that they “respected Katy Perry and this leader of her.”

Model Emily Ratajkowski, one of the other critics of the flight, called her "annoying" and targeted Bezos in a follow-up video, saying "his fiancé and some other famous women came to space for travel" had no progress. ”

American actress Olivia Munn describes the flight as “gruntted” and explains: “There is a lot of money to go to space and there are many people who can’t even afford eggs. What’s the point? Is it historicity for you to ride a bike?”

But the king fought back, saying she was "very disappointed and very sad" with her. "Have you been?" she asked the hater. “If you’ve been there and still feel that way after you’re back, let’s have a conversation.”
