Said having kids ruined her music career

Allen, who’s married to Stranger Things guy David Harbour and shares two daughters with her ex-husband, Sam Cooper, recently offered cynical perspective on being a mother–slash–professional singer.

During an interview on the Radio Times Podcast, Allen was asked if she changed her career path when she had children. “I never really had a strategy when it comes to a career,” she answered, laughing, “but yes, my children ruined my career. I love them and they complete me, but in terms of pop stardom? Totally ruined it.”

They'll be thrilled to hear that when they're old enough to comprehend how their mother resents them.

She's only saying what childless feminists want to hear.

I think having a lack of singing talent ruined her career, not having kids.
