Natalie Tippett Denies Affair Alleged in Lily Allen’s ‘Madeline,’ Alleges Misquotation

Allen describes the album as mixed fact and fiction, leaving the allegations publicly disputed.

Overview

  • In an Instagram statement, costume designer Natalie Tippett said, “I did not have a three year affair with anyone,” rejecting claims tied to Lily Allen’s song “Madeline.”
  • Tippett said MailOnline misquoted her and maintained she never gave an interview confirming details reported by tabloids.
  • She described feeling “extremely violated” and reported receiving abusive and threatening messages after being linked to the story.
  • Allen’s October album West End Girl narrates a marriage breakdown and suggests an open-marriage breach; the “Madeline” track features a voicemail that Dakota Johnson reenacted on Saturday Night Live.
  • Tabloid outlets had previously linked Tippett to alleged travel and spa encounters with David Harbour, reports she now challenges; Harbour has not issued a public statement in the coverage cited.
