Los Angeles, Nov 18 (IANS) Singer Lily Allen is being backed by radio presenter Jameela Jamil over racism accusations.
The 28-year-old singer, whose comeback video “Hard Out Here” features a group of black women dancing provocatively, hits back saying she did not choose the dancers because of their skin colour and now Jameela is defending her, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The Radio 1 chart show host wrote on her blog: “I can count four black girls and three white girls, not to mention Lily…
“It is almost racist to discount the girls who aren’t black. It’s just a bunch of women from all backgrounds dancing provocatively as they have for years.”
The 27-year-old also doesn’t believe the video used female exploitation as “shock value in the guise of satire”.
