i mean, lily allen also famously said her hiring sex workers to get down on the sly with when married to her previous partner wasn't cheating, because the sex workers were women. later, she would go on to have an affair with a man, and that she characterizes as infidelity.

i try not to be too involved in celebrities doing each other dirty, in the context of their romantic entanglements since they might as well be aliens from an incomprehensible culture. however, i did have a relationship with an artist once who, i would come to believe, really only seemed to seek out romantic relationships so they could spark novel emotional configurations and interpersonal conflicts to mine for content starring an idealized version of themselves as the brave, honest hero.

Lily Allen embodying a very Roman approach to infidelity I guess

it was exhausting to be around, and didn't really seem to be a source of strength for them either tbh.
