Lily Allen Says She Considered Suicide and Nearly Relapsed During David Harbour Split

She says residential treatment in January followed by daily recovery work has stabilized her health.

Overview

  • In a new British Vogue interview published Oct. 17, Allen recounts reaching a point where she "wanted to die" as her marriage ended.
  • She voluntarily entered a residential facility in January after nearly relapsing following about six years of sobriety.
  • Allen says longstanding problems with food "got really, really, really bad" during the breakup, alongside severe despair.
  • She now reports feeling OK and describes a recovery routine that includes a sponsor, daily meetings, meditation, therapy and antidepressants.
  • Her forthcoming album draws on experiences from the marriage, with lyrics that reference infidelity, though she says the songs are inspired rather than literal; press allegations about Harbour’s conduct remain reported claims.
