A MUM-OF-FOUR has slammed Lily Allen for claiming that mums can’t “have it all” after having children – insisting that she’s been busier than ever.
Carla Bellucci who was once dubbed ‘Britain’s most hated woman’ after “faking depression” to get a free nose job on the NHS, branded the popstar’s views “crazy” and urged her to stop encouraging mums to be “lazy.”
Carla, who is 42-years-old and spent tens years as a single mum, shared her views in response to Lily telling The Radio Times: “Yes, my children ruined my career.
“I love them and they complete me, but in terms of pop stardom, they totally ruined it.
The 38-year-old continued: “I get really annoyed when people say you can have it all because, quite frankly, you can’t.
“Some people choose their career over their children and that’s their prerogative, but my parents were quite absent when I was a kid.

“I feel like it left some nasty scars that I’m not willing to repeat on mine.
“I chose to step back and concentrate on them. I’m glad that I’ve done that because I think they’re pretty well-rounded.”
Maybe they should put as much effort into their careers as they do gossiping at the school gates and drinking coffee…look at all the time wasted. Put the same effort into your career ladies

But Carla, who is from Hitchin, Hertfordshire, insisted that Lily was “insane” to suggest that having kids would automatically ruin a woman’s career.
Instead, she told how her experience has been the complete opposite – and claimed that since having her fourth child Blu her career has “gone from strength to strength.”

She went on to add that if anything, having children has just made her “work harder.”
“I have always made it work and I was a single mum for ten years bringing up three children at the time and I held down my career.” she continued.
“If we use excuses like this, can you imagine how many lazy a&& mums there will be?
“Maybe they should put as much effort into their careers as they do gossiping at the school gates and drinking coffee…look at all the time wasted.
“Put the same effort into your career ladies.”
She went on to say that “organisation” and “juggling” is key, adding: “I hate these parents that say ‘I can’t work as I have a kid’… get off your a** and do both.”
Carla also questioned why a woman’s career is valued so much less than a mans.
She then went on to use Kim Kardashian as an example of someone who has managed to have a hugely successful career despite having more than one child.
Not only that, but the influencer argued that there are plenty of doctors and lawyers who are all successful in their respective industries, all while being fantastic mums, too.
