Lily Allen Details Breakdown After Split from David Harbour

Lily Allen told British Vogue she fell into a “very, very bleak” mental state and experienced suicidal thoughts after discovering her marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour had broken down amid reports of his affair. She said the despair nearly led to a relapse after five years of sobriety, as drugs and alcohol had previously been her “way out,” so she voluntarily checked into a residential treatment facility to avoid using again. Allen also said she developed severe problems with food during the breakup and is now “in the thick of recovery” after time in treatment. She described choosing rehab as a sign of strength and said she still has compassion for Harbour while preparing new music influenced by the experience. Allen and Harbour married in 2020 and separated after around four years together.
