Lily Allen fans label visa decision 'pathetic'
Lily Allen
Singer's legions quick to condemn US government
Lily Allen’s fans have labelled the US government "pathetic" for their decision to refuse her a US visa.
As previously reported on NME.COM, Allen was refused a visa when she landed on in Los Angeles on Sunday (August 5).
There has been confusion about why Allen was singled out for the refusal, although there has been speculation that it relates to an incident in London in March, in which the singer kicked a photographer.
Allen was not charged for the incident by police, which has led to confusion as to why she was stopped in the US.
She wrote on her blog that she hoped US officials weren’t using internet search engines to gather information used to make visa decisions.
Her fans have been quick to condemn the US government’s decision.
“This visa thing is ridiculous,” wrote forum user ‘Sydneyyy’ on Lily Allen’s official website. ‘Stephen’, meanwhile, branded the Visa debacle “pathetic”.
US fan ‘Green Eyed Girl’ posted a comment to Allen, saying, “That’s our government for you. Sorry! I didn't vote for ‘em.”
