Amber Heard’s Alleged Ex-Girlfriend Cara Delevingne Says She’d Have Died Had She Not Made Changes to Her Life: “That was scary”
When supermodel-turned-actor Cara Delevingne turned 30, she began to think back on some of the difficult times in her life, such as the viral photos of her that caused concern about her mental health among her friends, family, and, of course, the audience.
The actress revealed that she had been photographed by a publication, which was enough to give everyone goosebumps because Amber Heard’s alleged girlfriend, Delevingne had been seen acting erratically at the airport. She later provided clarification regarding the photos for the cover story.
Cara Delevingne states those viral pictures served as ‘a reality check’
In a cover story for VOGUE, successful model and actress Cara Delevingne talked about the viral photos of her that were taken at Los Angeles’ Van Nuys Airport in September, saying they gave her a reality check. At the airport, Delevingne was photographed acting strangely, with messy hair, and without any shoes.
After being denied boarding a flight, the model once kicked her feet out of the car window. Delevingne, 30, said she was returning from weeks of partying in Ibiza and at Burning Man before going to a work engagement. She acknowledged that those photos did cause concern among her friends, family, and fans.
Cara Delevingne said, “It’s heartbreaking because I thought I was having fun, but at some point, it was like, ‘Okay, I don’t look well.” She added, “You know, sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way, those pictures were something to be grateful for.”
Cara Delevingne said she was resistant to getting help
Delevingne explained during the interview that she now knows why people were worried and contacted her to ask her to get help, but she was not concerned. The actress claimed that despite warnings from those around her, she was resistant and didn’t accept help until she reached a point where she finally understood her need for it and realized that recovery was possible. The model and actress said,
“All I knew is, like, if I was continuing to go down the road I was, I would either end up dead or, like, doing something really, really stupid. And I think that…That was scary.”
She describes those paparazzi photos as a source of excruciating shame and embarrassment as well as an urgent wake-up call to leave the drugs and alcohol that had long tempted her with their promise of escape and face more serious issues that she had been avoiding.
“It’s never going to be fixed but I’m okay”: Cara Delevingne
The model admitted that she realized in September that she needed help and support, adding that she started reaching out and, at the same time, a friend of hers whom she has known since she was 13 started crying over a call. She said, “They looked at me and said, ‘You deserve a chance to have joy.”
During the interview, she said that she knows that, in a way, a lot of people have looked at her childhood or her family and thought, she’s spoiled, there’s nepotism, and she grew up extremely privileged, which she admitted that she did, don’t get her wrong but noted that life was not all that easy for her for other reasons. Models struggle with addiction.
“I hadn’t seen a therapist in three years. I just kind of pushed everyone away, which made me realize how I was in a bad place. I always thought that the work needed to be done when the times are bad, but actually the work needs to be done when it’s good. ‘The work needs to be done consistently. It’s never going to be fixed or fully healed, but I’m okay with that, and that’s the difference.”
Delevingne is aware that there is no finish line on the road to recovery. In the end, she is the most important person to answer right now. She concluded by saying that although the process had its ups and downs, she had begun to realize so much. The model-turned-actor acknowledged that she is aware that people only want to hear that she was an addict before getting sober, and that’s it. And it’s not quite that easy.
According to Cara Delevingne, it takes time to manifest. She naturally wants things to happen instantly, and she believes that this generation, in particular, wants things to happen quickly, but she needs to look further.
