Lily Allen Releases Album Detailing David Harbour Infidelity Allegations

Lily Allen's new album, West End Girl, is a deeply personal and emotionally charged work that seemingly addresses her marriage breakdown and alleged infidelities by her ex-husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour. Throughout the album's tracks, Allen accuses Harbour of cheating, gaslighting, and violating the terms of their open marriage, with pointed references to a woman named Madeline, who is believed to be involved in his affairs. Songs like "Tennis" and "Madeline" explore themes of betrayal, heartbreak, and the emotional toll of Harbour's double life, with Allen questioning the nature of his relationships and expressing rage over broken trust.
