'I've only been sexually assaulted by white men' Lily Allen in 'racism' spat on Twitter
LILY ALLEN has started the New Year in another Twitter spat after claiming she has been sexually assaulted by “white men”.
Lily Allen said she has
The singer who caused controversy on a trip to a migrant camp in Calais when she apologised “on behalf” on Britain was involved in a fresh online row today.
An argument started between Allen and Former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson over a newspaper headline which called the killer of 39 people in a Turkish club a ‘migrant’.
Ms Allen accused the paper of racism stating the man’s name and nationality was not known - suggesting they could not know his status in the country.
The tweet saw Lily Allen receive both praise and abuse
Mr Robinson called the singer a “f****** idiot” insisting she was “virtue signalling” rather than caring about the dead.
The row continued with relative disinterest from onlookers until Ms Allen answered a question on child sex exploitation.
Mr Robinson Tweeted the singer asking if she had ever “met or spoke to a victim of the Muslim grooming gangs”.
He said: “You don't need to go Calais to hear horror stories.”

Allen sparked anger when she replied saying it was only white males who had assaulted her.
She wrote: “I’ve only ever been sexually assaulted by white males so I feel slightly biased.”

Journalist Rita Panahi, who works in Australia, became involved in the row telling the singer it was “mirror time”.
