In a recent interview, British pop sensation Lily Allen got candid about her past behavior, admitting that she used to be "mean" before getting sober. After her marriage with David Harbour fell apart, Lily checked into a trauma clinic in the US to seek help and cope with her emotions.
The 39-year-old singer and the Stranger Things star split after Lily discovered that David was using the celebrity dating app Raya in secret. This discovery reportedly led Lily to the brink of a nervous breakdown, prompting her to seek professional help.
Before entering the clinic, Lily and her podcast co-host Miquita Oliver sat down with Grazia magazine to discuss their journey towards sobriety. Both women have left their partying days behind and are now focused on maintaining a healthy and sober lifestyle. Lily, who has been sober for five years, has been open about her struggles with drugs and alcohol in the past.
Reflecting on her past behavior, Lily shared, "I think I'm just a completely different person. When I was drinking and taking drugs, I could be quite mean." This statement came after reports surfaced that Lily had found out about David's secret dating app account.
Opening up about her past struggles, Lily revealed that she has a family history of self-medicating, which made drug and alcohol abuse almost inevitable for her. In 2020, Lily tied the knot with David, and the two raised their blended family together. Lily has two daughters, Marnie and Ethel, from her previous marriage with Sam Cooper.
Despite denying any speculations about going to "drug rehab," it was later claimed that Lily had checked into an inpatient treatment facility to deal with her spiraling emotions following the split. After returning to her home in Brooklyn, where she lives with David, Lily reportedly felt triggered and decided to seek help.
A source shared, "It was very painful for Lily to return home. David used to be her savior, and now he's a trigger for her. Lily settled her kids back into the family home and took them to school for their new term, then flew herself straight to rehab." The insider also revealed that Lily was supposed to go to rehab a day later but decided to go earlier because she was feeling "wobbly and desperate to escape."
According to reports, Lily will spend several weeks at the residential retreat in the US and will participate in group therapy and individual counseling sessions to process her grief. In the meantime, she has taken a break from her podcast, Miss Me?, with Miquita Oliver to focus on her emotional well-being.
A close source to Lily shared, "She wants to make sure she's feeling physically well again so she can be there for her daughters as the best mother she can be." The insider also dispelled the notion that Lily is the "crazy headcase" in her relationship with David, stating that she was actually calmer and more grounded until the sudden end of her marriage.
The insider continued, "She is taking the responsible course of action with a trip to a retreat to get her head straight." In a previous statement, Lily had announced that she would be taking a three-week break from her BBC Sounds podcast with Miquita to focus on her emotional recovery.
