Lily Allen takes Twitter break

London Feb 27 (IANS) Singer Lily Allen has taken a break from Twitter after being targeted by trollers.

However she was trolled by the social media users who taunted her about her mental health and the death of her son who was still-born at six months in 2010.

The singer was also taunted after tweeting: I lay in a hospital bed with my deceased son stuck between my legs halfway out of my body for 10 hours.

One person wrote: Not to be a d**k but I very highly doubt it was 10 hours to which Allen replied: You are a d**k. And it was. I was there you weren t.

However the devastated star replied: I didn t miscarry I went into early labour and my son died from his chord wrapped around his neck.

My timeline is full of the most disgusting sexist misogynistic racist s**t. Really new levels. I m no masochist so I ll be back.

And the new controller of her account wrote: Hi I m Dennis. I ll be looking after Lily s Twitter for a while. I can only communicate in gif form and I m going on a hate blocking spree.
