Lily Allen has reportedly checked into an £8,000 a week trauma recovery centre following her split from her actor husband David Harbour. The Smile singer announced on her podcast, Miss Me, this week that listeners were “not going to hear me for a few weeks”.
Speaking to her co-host Miquita Oliver, she said: “I’m finding it hard to be interested in anything. I’m really not in a good place. I know I’ve been talking about it for months, but I’ve been spiralling and spiralling and spiralling, and it’s got out of control.”.
Allen has been sober for five years and clarified that she was not going to drug rehab. “I’ve not relapsed,” she said, shutting down “vicious rumours” circulating on the internet that she was using drugs again. An anonymous source told The Daily Mail that Allen and Harbour split after she found out he was using exclusive dating app Raya to meet women. The pair married in Las Vegas in 2020 and live in New York with Allen’s two daughters.
In December Allen said on her podcast that she had been “going through a tough time over the last few months” and said that “my eating has become a real issue”. The singer admitted she often forgets to eat and doesn’t feel hungry. “The messages of hunger are not going from my body to my brain. I’m not avoiding food, I’m just not thinking about it because I’m so in my head”.
According to the Mail, Allen will spend several weeks at the residential trauma clinic and have one-on-one therapy and intensive counselling sessions. The star will also be on a digital detox as the clinic does not allow phones, which she said she was “very excited about” on her podcast. “I really don’t like my phone,” she continued. “I think that social media has f***ed us, I think that it’s f***ed democracy, it’s f***ed everything”.
