Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, Lily, who went from being asked to sell drugs and drop out of school, to earning £5,000 a month, said she couldn’t care less if they judged her.
Walking the streets in a bathrobe, Lily said some of her neighbors give her dirty looks.
“I know it’s just an arrogance and ignorance and judgmental thing, so it doesn’t bother me,” she explains.
“But if I were younger, I would be, I would be feeling [as if I don’t belong]but these posh kids who haven’t even set foot on council property – they wouldn’t know how to save their money or save and save, or have drug dealers on the doorstep because their dad’s a crack addict.
Lily, who passes by Queen of the Council State on social media, previously revealed that drug dealers threw petrol bombs through her windows when she was younger as her parents were drug addicts.
I try not to take it personally because it’s a different part of society

While it hasn’t been an easy life for Lily, she’s now grown up in the world, earning thousands of dollars a month on social media and moving into a swanky property.
“My parents weren’t bad people, they didn’t choose to have children and become addicted to drugs,” he explains.
“As I grew up, I became obsessed with being successful and making sure I would never go hungry again.”
She was even encouraged to sell drugs and receive benefits when she left school, but abandoned that lifestyle to travel the world and work as an artist.
Now back in the UK, Lily hasn’t forgotten her county roots despite moving up in the world, and regularly turns up in her dressing gown to run errands.

On social media, she shared a clip of herself heading to her car in her robe and hairnet.
She said: “When you live in a posh estate and half the neighbors judge you on your appearance, then I make sure I look for an extra council property just for them.”
Despite the dirty looks from some of her neighbors, Lily doesn’t take it personally and says she gets along well with most of them.
She adds: “They look at me [funny]but they don’t cause me any problems, they’re not nightmare neighbors.
Lily’s top tips on what not to do on a council property
- Don’t leave the door open/unlocked or the rest of the property will be in your kitchen stealing your tea bags, sugar and toilet paper.
- Do not buy food for children, but send them to neighbors to be fed.
- To save money, share the bathwater.
- Don’t borrow money from anyone because they will want twice as much
- Don’t tell anyone you have cash in hand and are claiming UC because someone will come to the job center.
“I try not to take it personally, because it’s a different part of society, it’s not that it’s wrong, it’s just different.
“Some of them made it clear that I don’t belong there because of my age.
“But I think that was just an excuse, you know, because everyone is older. And it was even more so when I moved out a few years ago, there were a lot more judgmental looks.”
Lily reckons the nasty looks come from class differences in the village, which has around six council properties, predominantly occupied by older couples, making her an oddball.
“It’s a small, very quiet area, and I’m pretty quiet, or I get along with most, half of my neighbors.
“They are Cool people. They don’t judge, but there are some who give me funny looks, who really don’t like me.”
The young woman, who now makes a living creating online content about her experience growing up on a council estate, added that it’s not just funny looks she gets and that some residents love to gossip about her recent antics.
I’ll still go out in a bathrobe and probably make more money than half of them who are judging me anyway

“I go to the local post office and someone says to me, ‘oh, Sandra was here the other day saying she saw you running in the garden screaming’,” she says.
“I said, ‘Yes, it’s mine, it’s my job. I make videos on the internet.'”
“I’m just making funny TikToks,” Lily adds.
“And sometimes I also exaggerate. For example, I get funny looks about it, I don’t care.
“I’ll still go out in a bathrobe and probably make more money than half of them that are judging me anyway, they think I don’t have a job and they’re like ‘Oh, she’s just making videos, running around and on the street making videos, get one. job’ They don’t understand.
“I pay my taxes, work, raise money for charity, and any freebies I get in the mail from my TikTok channel I share with lots of neighbors too.”
Now, with a massive following of over 1 million combined Facebook followers, Instagram and TikTok, Lily hopes to use her money for good.
Lily adds that she doesn’t think all new properties built are like hers and that she comes across some critical neighbors because she lives in a small village.
