Lily Allen admits she was 'mean before she got sober' in new interview conducted before she checked into US trauma clinic following the collapse of her marriage to David Harbour


Lily Allen has admitted that she was 'mean before she got sober' in a new interview released after the breakdown of her marriage to David Harbour was revealed.

In an interview with Grazia alongside her podcast host Miquita Oliver released on Monday but conducted before she entered the clinic she spoke about her journey to sobriety after the wild partying ways of her youth. What makes this painful episode particularly upsetting, they say, is that Lily had pegged her hopes of a better life on her husband – who plays heroic police chief Jim Hopper in Netflix's Stranger Things – following past drink and drugs issues. The couple first got together after the release of Lily's shocking 2018 tell-all memoir, which detailed her drug and alcohol use, her encounters with female sex workers during a music tour and the collapse of her marriage to builder Sam Cooper, the father of her two daughters.
