Lily Allen believes the term 'nepo baby' is sexist. The 39-year-old Smile singer lamented on her Miss Me? podcast that she's called a "nepo baby" constantly while her actor brother Alfie Allen does not. Lily is the daughter of actor Keith Allen and producer Alison Owen, and noted she is often described as "Lily Allen, daughter of Keith Allen" while the Game of Thrones star is not. "Nepo babies, I think it's quite like 'Karen', in the sense that it's just a word that is basically used for women who are taking up space and we'd rather they didn't and they should just go away.” "I actually don't really mind the nepotism thing, it's the 'baby' that annoys me, it's like, I'm 40 years old nearly! It’s meant to be infantalising. Also, I think it's something that is almost exclusively used for women, I don't think I can even really name any male nepo babies. My brother, for instance, doesn't get called nepo baby and I do.” Lily previously weighed in on the conversation surrounding nepo babies, or the children of famous people, on X in 2022. "The nepo babies y'all should be worrying about are the ones working for legal firms, the ones working for banks, and the ones working in politics.” "And before you come at me for being a nepo baby myself, I will be the first to tell you that I literally deserve nothing.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
