Lily Allen thinks nepo baby is used in sexist manner: Here's why

Lily Allen has recently explained why she thinks nepo baby is often used in a sexist manner

Speaking on her Miss Me podcast on May 6, Lily, who is the daughter to actor Keith Allen, said, "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’m called a nepo baby all the time," said the 39-year-old musician.

Lily stated, "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 infantilizing," continued the British pop singer.

Lily pointed out, "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," shared the actress and singer.

The Elizabeth actress mentioned, "I feel like a lot of the time over the past 15, 20 years when I’ve been written about it will always say 'Lily Allen, daughter of Keith Allen' and I don’t see that happening with boys as often as it does with girls."

Reflecting on nepo baby term, Lily added, "I grew up in a certain class bracket, I grew up in and amongst people that worked in media, and I don’t think I’ve ever really disputed that."
