Critics are enraged after Lily Allen admitted she returned her dog to a shelter after it ate her passports.

The famous singer and actress confessed to giving up her family pet on the “Miss Me?” podcast Thursday. She told fans she took her puppy Mary to an animal shelter because she was upset that the dog chewed up her passports. Presumably speaking about her decision to adopt the pet with her husband, David Harbour, Allen said, “We actually did adopt a dog together already- but then it ate my passport, so I took it back to the home.” She went on to explain what happened, and fans immediately took to social media calling her “a selfish nasty woman.”

Allen, who is the mother of daughters Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, with ex Sam Cooper, explained what led her to make the decision to give up the family dog.

“She ate all three of our passports,” she said.

“They had our visas in [there], and I can’t tell you how much it cost to get everything replaced,” Allen said.

“It was in COVID, so it was just an absolute logistical nightmare.”

She went on to say, “the father of my children lives in England. I couldn’t get them back to see their dad for, like, four months [or] five months because this fucking dog had eaten the passports.”

Allen continued ranting about the dog, and the more she spoke, the deeper she dug herself into a hole with fans. She said she “couldn’t look at” the dog anymore, and said the pup “ruined [her] life.”

“The passports weren’t the only thing she ate. She was a very badly behaved dog,” Allen said.

Her actions enraged a number of online users that trashed the star online. Many of them were put off by her comments and a number of people reminded the star that she was to blame if she had left the passports out where a dog could reach them.

“Dogs are NOT ‘badly behaved’ – they are ‘untrained’ by the humans that are responsible for them. This is a sad listen. Shame on you, Lily Allen. Shame. 😢,” one person wrote.

“Absolute piece of human 💩 The problem was you @lilyallen not the dog. On the bright side at least that poor pup won’t have to tolerate you any more. #scum” another wrote.

“Lilly Allen has shown herself to be a selfish nasty woman.. She is a mother with absolutely zero awareness or common sense. She talks about a puppy being a very naughty dog. Yes you moron because a puppy is like a small child, they can be naughty. What an idiot,” another person said.

Another irate person decided to re-write the headlines about this story by saying, “Alternative headline: ‘Dog has stroke of luck as it no longer needs to live with mega-twat, Lily Allen” (RELATED: Nicola Peltz-Beckham Sues Groomer She Accused Of Killing Her Dog)

Allen noted she is interested in trying her luck by purchasing another family dog in the future.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
