Lana Del Rey just proved she is beautiful inside out with her willingness to instantly help a woman in need.
While driving in Los Angeles, the singer was filming a video of herself while cruising and listening to Rubberband by Tate McRae when she noticed a woman holding a sign outside her window at a stoplight.
She posted the clip to her Instagram Stories writing, “When you’re listening to Tate’s song about Highland when you’re sitting at a light on Highland and a woman sticks a sign on your window that says trying to stay out of an abusive relationship.”
The Summertime Sadness singer, who previously hit back at allegations that she “glamorizes abuse” in her lyrics, was pictured reaching into her wallet and pulling out what appeared to be a $100 bill before handing it to the fleeing survivor.
“You got me when I was filming,” she told her, as the woman replied, “Thank you so much.” Lana then advised the vulnerable stranger, “Well, try and stay away.”
The woman then asked, “What’s your name?” After the iconic artist politely introduced herself, the passerby told her, “God bless you. Thank you so much.”
Lana then cautioned the woman, telling her to “be careful.”
After rolling up the window, she said to the camera, “I was not expecting that” before explaining that the woman’s sign read, “Fleeing an abusive relationship.”
It comes six years after the star hit back at critics who accused her of “glamorizing abuse” in her songs.
When she released the artwork for her single Blue Jeans in 2012, many felt it was promoting domestic violence since it featured a man choking her.
Over the years, several of her tracks have courted controversy, including her 2014 song Ultraviolence, which raised eyebrows for the polarizing line, “He hit me and it felt like a kiss.”
In May 2020, Lana Del Rey addressed some of the criticisms in an Instagram post, writing that she had been unfairly “crucified” over her lyrics, while artists like Ariana Grande and Beyonce often sing about “f*****g” and “cheating.”
