Zoë Kravitz has claimed that Lily Allen once “attacked” her with a non-consensual kiss.
The actress and singer talked about the kiss, which is believed to have happened in 2014, during a conversation on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Tuesday, alongside her Fantastic Beasts co-star Eddie Redmayne.
A viewer called in and brought up the kiss in a question to Kravitz, asking: “I was wondering if Lily Allen warned you that she was going to write about the two of you kissing in her autobiography, and how did that come about?”
Allen mentions the kiss in her memoir My Thoughts Exactly, which came out in September 2018. On Cohen’s show, Kravitz first answered the viewer’s question with by throwing some shade: “Who’s Lily Allen?” She then added: “If by kissing she means, like, attacking, then yes, she kissed me.”
Cohen answered: “She...” and Kravitz completed: “... attacked me.”
Asked whether that’s how Allen portrayed the incident in her book, the Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald replied: “No.”
“It was portrayed...” Cohen started, with Kravitz adding: “... like I wanted it.”
When Cohen asked: “Did you read the book?”, Kravitz said: “I don’t think anybody read the book” – a statement met with claps and exclamations from the audience.
An excerpt from Allen’s memoir reads: “For my New York shows, Zoë Kravitz and her band Lolawolf supported me, so I got to know Zoë a bit. We became friends.
"Later in the tour, when we were in Washington, the girls and their nanny, Jess, came out to visit me for a few days, but I had to go back to New York for a day or so for work. Zoë and I went out partying and ended up kissing. I heard that later that same night she’d got down with A$AP Rocky. Go girl, I thought.”
Representatives for Allen approached by The Independent had no comment.
