Lily Allen shocks fans after admitting she ‘earns more money’ from selling feet pictures than her music
Lily Allen has shocked fans after revealing she actually makes more money from selling her feet than she does from her music.
Allen, 39, joined OnlyFans back in July and started flogging snaps of her feet for $10 (£8) a month.
The singer had been joking about creating an OnlyFans account on her podcast, Miss me? but soon enough she decided to put her plans into action, launching 'FTSE500'.

But after sharing a post about her content on X, Allen was met with some negativity from followers.
It all kicked off when Allen reminded fans about her OnlyFans platform, writing: "Haven't posted in a while but you can still check out the archive."
But one follower responded: "Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this."
Allen wasn't taking any negativity, hitting back: "Imagine being an artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet.
"Don’t hate the player, hate the game."
Fans were pretty taken aback, with one person commenting: "Lily I am going to listen to ur music RIGHT NOW u icon."
The singer first started thinking about setting up an OnlyFans of her feet when she was told by a fan that her tootsies had a 'five star rating' on Wikipedia.
“I have a lady that comes and does my nails and they informed me that I have five stars on WikiFeet which is quite rare, but yes, my feet are rated quite highly on the internet," she told podcast co-host, Miquita Oliver.
“The lady said I could make a lot of money from selling foot content on OnlyFans.”
And it seems husband David Harbour is on board too, after Allen explained how he feels about it.
“He thinks it’s great,” she said.
“At first, he was like, not turned on, but he was like, ‘Is this a kink for you?’ and I was like, ‘No, it’s totally not a kink.’”
However, Allen did add: “Maybe there’s something in the power element of it that’s slightly kinky for me.”
She has been married to the Stranger Things actor since 2020, following a wedding in Las Vegas with an Elvis impersonator as their officiator.
Allen also spoke about how she feels 'empowered' from setting up the account, adding: “I’m finding this quite empowering because having been sexualised from a very early age and literally everyone else profiting from that sexualisation, it is actually really fun to be in power and in control.
“I know where it ends. It ends in the same place that it starts - it’s only feet. I’ve got very strict guidelines.
“Believe me, these guys are all up in my DMs telling me they want bespoke content and asking me for all kinds of crazy stuff, and I take such pleasure in saying, ‘Only feet.’"
